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”

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”
Cameo Courtships
Cameo Courtships: 4 Stories of Women Whose Lives Are Touched by a Legendary Gift by Susanne Dietze My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the first Barbour historical romance collection I’ve read since they’ve changed the format to just four novellas per book. While the collections have always been written around a theme, “CameoContinue reading “Cameo Courtships”
The Refuge
The Refuge by Ann H. Gabhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m a huge fan of Ann Gabhart’s Shaker books. I’ve liked them all. This one, however, might be my favorite. Ann does a great job of making the Shakers real in her stories. It would be so easy to make them cartoonish withContinue reading “The Refuge”
Lord of Her Heart
Lord of Her Heart by Sherrinda Ketchersid My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love a good medieval read! What’s more romantic than knights, fair ladies, and castles? Sherrinda Ketchersid nails all of that, plus a bit of mystery, a dash of danger, and a hearty sprinkling of humor. This is not a dark, gothicContinue reading “Lord of Her Heart”
