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. This one held me from the opening sentences. Jennie Pickett married young, thus ending her dreams of becoming a doctor. Being a wife and motherContinue reading “All She Left Behind”

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!

An Awakened Heart
An Awakened Heart by Jody Hedlund My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a free novella published to point the reader to Jody Hedlund’s novel “With You Always.” It’s a promotional book, a tease to buy the novel.

The Princess Spy
The Princess Spy by Melanie Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another medieval story with that fairytale feel, but I have to admit that I’ve no idea what fairytale sparked this story.

The Captive Maiden
The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another delightful medieval fairytale from Melanie Dickerson. This is a retelling of Cinderella and it’s beautifully done. I especially love how she did this without the mystical element to it. It’s entirely plausible and will keep you reading if for no other reasonContinue reading “The Captive Maiden”
