When I saw that Finding Wings was going to be released, I realized that I hadn’t yet read Chasing Dreams, the second book in the Chandler Sisters series. These stories build on each other, so I grabbed a copy of it and therefore today you get a bonus, two reviews […]
When a beloved author writes a in new genre, one that is a departure from what I have come to expect, I normally just get excited and dive right in. At least I have until recently. The True Colors series by Barbour is one that has me hesitating. These are […]
Until I read Until I Met You, I had not read anything by Tari Faris. The synopsis caught my attention when I was looking for my next read so I thought I would try it. This is such a sweet story about second chances and forgiveness! Austin and Libby had […]
I had just finished reading the Love’s Pure Light collection with a story by Susanne Dietze. I enjoyed it and quickly signed up for her newsletter and discovered this newly released collection with a story by her as well. So, of course, I grabbed a copy of The Soldier’s Lady. […]
I’ve not read many stories that take place in Japan, and particularly not any that take place so long ago. Three years ago, I happened across The Samurai’s Heart and was fascinated. Discovering I loved the story and the style of writing, I knew I need to read more of […]
How can you not admire a woman who remains in the small town she has always lived in despite the animosity of the townsfolk towards her? Determined to hold on to her parent’s heritage and provide for her twins after her husband’s (excuse me, ex-husband’s!) treachery towards those who trusted […]
It’s always a good sign when I am giggling before I’ve finished the prologue of a book. And, sure enough, I wasn’t even more than a few pages into Grass Valley Brides before the laughter started. The absurdity of the man seeking a mail-order bride then matching them off with […]
The Librarian of Boone’s Hollow is such a beautiful story of faith, hope, and love! I loved the way that both Addie and Emmett clung tightly to their faith and the things their parents had taught them. Each showed strength of character when faced with superstition, prejudice, and suspicion. Told […]
The American Wonders Collection by Regina Scott is about to have the second book release. And I just found out from Regina that she is offering some goodies to those who pre-order a copy. Now, I do have a pre-release copy already but haven’t had a chance to start reading […]
Some books are great because of the story they tell. Some are great because of the characters. Some are great because of the colorful language used to paint the picture of the story. And some, like A Portrait of Loyalty, are great for all of the above reasons. I have […]
I have mixed feelings regarding stories about royalty. Partly out of a concern that they can make women discontented with their lot in life – that they aren’t likely to marry a prince. And largely because they often feel over-the-top. And yet, there is something so enjoyable imagining what it […]
Pixie Perkins has written another cute High School romance. My Dilemma is told by Megan alone, which was a great choice for this story. I had to smile at Megan’s breakup note. What she said, why she said it, and why she didn’t change it when she thought better of […]
