Fire by Night
Fire by Night by Lynn Austin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I always enjoy Lynn Austin’s books, so this one was no surprise. It wasn’t her easiest book to get into, it wasn’t that it started slowly, but more that I had a harder time connecting with the main heroine. She wasn’t very likable.Continue reading “Fire by Night”
America’s First Daughter
America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray My rating: 4 of 5 stars A very interesting and entertaining story! Based on true history, there is – of course – quite a bit of filling in between the lines of what is known. But the authors did a great job of keeping the story moving through allContinue reading “America’s First Daughter”
The Witness Tree
The Witness Tree by Denise Weimer My rating: 5 of 5 stars A fascinating and engaging story about a historic time and place that isn’t often showcased in fiction. I was captivated by the characters from the very start. The lifestyle of the Moravians is something I knew just a little about. Their interaction withContinue reading “The Witness Tree”
The Cowboys
The Cowboys by Jennifer Uhlarik My rating: 5 of 5 stars What’s better than a book with a handsome cowboy for the hero? A collection of four stories with four handsome cowboy heroes! These stories will tug at your heart and give you a chuckle before leaving you with that satisfied *awww…* ending. Most importantlyContinue reading “The Cowboys”
The Brightest Hope
The Brightest Hope by Naomi Dawn Musch My rating: 5 of 5 stars I wasn’t sure how the author was going to take the “bad boy” of book #2 and make him the hero of book #3 … but she nailed it! What a great end to this trilogy. Two emotionally wounded people who areContinue reading “The Brightest Hope”
Legacy Rejected
Legacy Rejected by Robin Patchen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another wonderful adventure in Nutfield from author Robin Patchen. As always, her characters are engaging and quirky, the setting is *the* small town we all wished we lived in, and there are parts of the story that keep you guessing. While it’s fun toContinue reading “Legacy Rejected”
The Softest Breath
The Softest Breath by Naomi Dawn Musch My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. This is the second book in the series. I loved the first, The Deepest Sigh, and this one might even be better. The wonderfully rounded characters are both endearing and flawed. The setting is post-WWI when so many changes were happeningContinue reading “The Softest Breath”
Yours Truly, Thomas
Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham My rating: 3 of 5 stars There is a lot to like about this story. The characters are engaging, the story premise is interesting, the setting is charming, and there’s a big dog in it. I love stories with dogs in them. However – you saw that coming, right?Continue reading “Yours Truly, Thomas”
My Dearest Dietrich
My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Lost Love by Amanda Barratt My rating: 4 of 5 stars No history geek worth his or her salt hasn’t heard of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Including me. I knew the bare bones of his story, but there was a lot I didn’t know. I knew nothing about MariaContinue reading “My Dearest Dietrich”
