A Bouquet of Brides

The Vow

The Vow by Jody Hedlund My rating: 2 of 5 stars I love Jody Hedlund’s stories, and so I picked up this novella knowing it would be a prequel to her novel, “An Uncertain Choice.” These short novellas are popular to entice readers to purchase the longer books. It’s a good marketing strategy plus itContinue reading “The Vow”

Newton & Polly

Newton & Polly by Jody Hedlund My rating: 5 of 5 stars How did I miss this book when it released last year?! Waterbrook needs to do a better job of book promotion. I love Jody Hedlund’s stories, and she knocked this one out of the park. Seriously. The way she introduces John Newton andContinue reading “Newton & Polly”

All She Left Behind

All She Left Behind by Jane Kirkpatrick My rating: 5 of 5 stars Nobody writes gritty and determined characters – based on real-life people – as well as Jane Kirkpatrick.

The Courageous Brides Collection

The Courageous Brides Collection by Johnnie Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars There were some AWESOME stories in this collection! Well worth the money for the book, even though there were three stories I didn’t finish. My two favorites were “The Doctor’s Woman” by Michelle Griep and “The Battlefield Bride” by Renee Yancy. TheseContinue reading “The Courageous Brides Collection”

JeremiahContinue reading “Love Finds You in Golden, New Mexico”

Generous Lies

Generous Lies by Robin Patchen My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is book three in Robin Patchen’s “Hidden Truth” series. They are all good! One of the things I love about this one is that it tackles the very timely – and scary for parents – issue of teenage drug addiction. Opioid addiction isContinue reading “Generous Lies”

My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island: Maude’s Mooring

My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island: Maude’s Mooring by Carrie Fancett Pagels My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Mackinac Island. (Pronounced Mack-en-naw) I’ve been going there since I was a child. And who didn’t fall in love with the island watching “Somewhere in Time”? It’s a magical place. So I couldn’t wait toContinue reading “My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island: Maude’s Mooring”
