When you have a heroine patterned after a tall, red-haired, crack shot, Revolutionary War legend who earned the name “War Woman” from the local Indians, the need for a strong hero passes as an understatement. Jenny White had given up on love because she considered herself not attractive and feminine enough. She needed a manContinue reading “A Hero to Match the Heroine of Across Three Autumns”

The Hero of The Counterfeit Tory
I like a hero who’s solid and honorable but—not too perfect. Guys who definitely talk and act like guys, not some version of what we women sometimes wish they were. I’m not sure how successfully I accomplish that, but … 🙂 After five long years of war, Jedidiah (“Jed”) Wheeler is not just older butContinue reading “The Hero of The Counterfeit Tory”
The Scent of Lilacs
The Scent of Lilacs by Ann H. Gabhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this story! It was different than the type of story I normally gravitate to.

Luther and Katharina: A Novel of Love and Rebellion by Jody Hedlund My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is worth reading on so many levels. It’s a beautiful – if tempestuous – romance.

The Widow of Rose Hill
The Widow of Rose Hill by Michelle Shocklee My rating: 5 of 5 stars A wonderful story of finding strength and love among the struggles and changes of post-Civil War Texas.
