My knowledge of American history is lacking because I don’t remember learning anything about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. So it was interesting to find out about the colonists who disappeared with no ability to trace what happened to them through Elinor, though I realize that everything in this story […]
Author Cynthia Herron has once again written a stunning story! Her Faith Restored‘s marvelous characters touched my heart. They were flawed and realistically portrayed in a manner that truly brought them to life. The descriptions were so lovely! I find myself wanting to visit the Ozarks to see the lovely […]
I loved the Fortune’s Brides series and was delighted to see that author Regina Scott is writing a new one that includes Fortune, Meredith, and Julian. Never Pursue a Prince is the first one and it did not disappoint! Trained by her grandmother and mother to follow rules of conduct […]
Healing Skye is such a tender story. It is about two broken souls in need of allowing the love of God to bring wholeness. Despite addressing the issue of child abuse, author Janet Ferguson manages to mention the nature of the abuse without going into any uncomfortable details, which is […]
Amell and Aurelia’s story, Kingdom of Locks, was enchanting! Interspersing magic, adventure, romance, and dragons, author Deborah Grace White created a lovely twist on the Rapunzel story with the unique perspective I’ve come to appreciate from her. Prince Amell has shown up in several Kingdom Tales stories, and I was […]
Broken Together was a marvelous story and a difficult story all wrapped into one. It is hard-hitting and doesn’t sugar-coat the difficulties that imprisonment causes – especially for believers – even when the prisoner is innocent. And, yet, despite the difficulties, hope shines through as Chad and Jenn cling tightly […]

One test of a good book for me is how well I can stay connected with it even when I’m reading in a busy place. Especially while I’m waiting for the results of something I’m concerned about. If I can stay invested in the story under those circumstances – it […]
Allie craved a marriage full of love and respect – everything her parent’s marriage had lacked. And this drove a small obsession for having the perfect wedding in the perfect setting. She just forgot that she also needed to select the right groom… I have to confess that seeing the […]
Having read a few stories by Eleanor Bertin over the past couple of years, I’ve seen that she is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects! Not only does she face them head-on, but she does so with aplomb and a strong Christian perspective. Flame of Mercy speaks of the tragedy […]
Looking back, I was amazed when I realized Deborah Grace White only published her first book last year! The quality of her writing far surpasses that of many authors who have been writing much longer. Wren and Basil’s story captivated me from the very beginning. I vividly pictured the moment […]
Every Word Unsaid brims with fantastic depictions of India in the late 1890s. The sights, sounds, and smells of the country were vividly described along with the tastes of the amazing foods. I enjoyed Gussie’s travels and could relate well to her desire to photograph everything she saw. I can […]
