I read this book on a Sunday afternoon. It’s my favorite time to just sit and devour a whole book. I like the vulnerable yet strong heroine, Emily McCarthy; as well as the brash yet gentlemanly hero, Luke Sullivan. They both make a physical and religious move through the course of the story. At times [...]

Letters From Sweetwater by Dr. Dale Garland
I’ve only made it half way through Letters from Sweetwater. I have to admit that I’ll probably shelf it because I have other books I’d rather read. It has the promise of a good story, but reads more like a biography. Plus it is 438 pages with a lot of characters. It would fit better [...]
The Crimson Cipher by Susan Page Davis
I enjoyed this book with it’s history, romance, and suspense all mixed together. Emma the heroine is pretty, smart, and mature while still real with her worry, hard work, and dislike of dogs. Going to church and prayer are woven in as part of the fabric of her life. I also enjoyed the part the [...]
Two Books By Francena Arnold
Several years ago my friend was saying how much she loved these books. It has been years since I read them so I ordered them through PaperBackSwap and let them sit on the shelf for a couple years. Last week I read through Not My Will and it’s sequel The Light in My Window by Francena Arnold. [...]
Twilight’s Serenade by Tracie Peterson
This is book three of Tracie Peteron’s Song of Alaska series. I read and loved the first one, Dawn’s Prelude, but missed book two! None of the characters actually play music during the events this book covers, but the heroine is a first chair violinist. Britta seems a bit complicated to me, but I could [...]
Dark In The City of Light by Paul Robertson
I did not read this whole book. I started, skipped the whole middle, and finished the end. If you are a history buff you might like to dive into Dark In The City Of Light. It has a lot of facts and history and detail so I’m sure Paul Robertson did a lot of work. [...]
Heartless By Anne Elisabeth Stengl
Back to the science fantasy genre for this review. In Heartless the dragons are bad, the girl is young and beautiful, the king is clueless, the hero is admirable, and the boy is reckless. It was different than anything I can remember reading. I’m assuming that the dragon refers to Satan, the prince refers to Jesus [...]
Refuge On Crescent Hill By Melanie Dobson
The basic story line in this book is great. The Underground Railroad has always intrigued me plus there are secret tunnels, mysteries, greed, family secrets, etc. About 1/3 of the way through it felt like it was really moving slow. I was ready for it to get on with the excitement. Then everything kind of [...]
Finding Jeena By Miralee Ferrell
This book has an interesting story line. I can’t think of another book that it is similar to. I would enjoy a continuation that included the same characters as this one. So many of the unique characters seem to have a whole story in them. The heroine goes from riches to rags, and from rottenness [...]
Kim Vogel Sawyer Writes Of A Hopeful Heart
Elements of this book that I liked: semi-mail order bride, not promised before hand, teaching and learning, a bit of mystery – and cattle rustlers, salvation, God’s love, reaping what you sow, how hard the wives of ranchers worked, lesson on not lumping a group of people into the same category. It was easy to [...]
