A Contemporary Christian Epic-Novel (The Grace Series Book 1)

Review:Another wonderful book by Staci Stallings...tremendous character development...real- life, difficult situations handled with grace. I love and am inspired by the depth of spiritual wisdom in Mirror Mirror and found myself highlighting and bookmarking frequently. Keep it up, Staci. Read more

Unplanned (A Kennedy Stern Christian Suspense Novel Book 1)
Unplanned (A Kennedy Stern Christian Suspense Novel Book 1)

Review:I really enjoyed this book and the premise behind it. It started fairly slow but once it got going it was very happy d to put down. The end was the best for me with the realization that each of us are created by a loving and good God, that family should come before career, and that caring for others helps us see good. The characters in this book are believable and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Read more

The Red Door Inn (Prince Edward Island Dreams Book #1)
The Red Door Inn (Prince Edward Island Dreams Book #1)

Review:I loved every minute spent reading this delightful book. Having grown up around the ocean but now living in the Midwest, The Red Door Inn fed my deep desire to be by the sea once more. I could hear the crashing of the waves and smell the salty air.

The story is complex, with deep wounds that need healing. Johnson's magic touch kept me turning the page again and again.

Now that I've reached the last page I'm longing for more. Sigh... Read more

The Silent Songbird
The Silent Songbird

Review:Melanie Dickerson has done it again! I was captivated by this newest title from the first page to the last. Her retelling of classic fairy tales crates the backdrop for delightful new stories. I love not knowing which tale her stories are based on and then figuring it out as I read. This newest tale takes a privileged yet essentially imprisoned maiden on a journey to discover who she really is and who she wants to become.

The heroine, Evangeline, is the cousin of the king and an illegitim... Read more

The Golden Braid
The Golden Braid

Review:This book needed a good editor. Poor knight falls off his horse after his horse is spooked and the saddle broke and slid. Three pages later he's climbing back on the horse with saddle working fine apparently. But he's broken his right arm - wait, several pages later it's his left arm - wait, it's his right arm - no, it's his left arm - hmm, back to right arm. I'm only a third of the way through the book. This has been very distracting. Even comical. Hope both arms turn out okay... Read more

Tea With Emma (The Teacup Novellas Book 1)
Tea With Emma (The Teacup Novellas Book 1)

Review:Yes it all wrapped up nicely, although a little too quickly at the end, I found the first half overly filled with non-stop silly conversation. Found it hard to connect with the main character at all. Will try another teacup novella and see if it's just this first one or the writer just not being my cup of tea. Read more

Together Forever (Orphan Train Book #2)
Together Forever (Orphan Train Book #2)

Andrew "Drew" Brady is the other agent on this train and has taken t... Read more

The Princess Spy (Fairy Tale Romance Series) - The Merchant’s Daughter

Review:The Fairy Tale Romance Collection by Melanie Dickerson is a fabulous collection of stories based on popular fairy tales. All five stories are beautifully written and very engaging. They don’t obviously resemble the stories on which they are based, but it’s been a while since I’ve read a book that made me think. I highly recommend this collection for any age group!

****Story #1, The Healer’s Apprentice, is a very different take on the tale of Sleeping Beauty. In fact, it took more than... Read more

Where Wildflowers Bloom (Sisters at Heart Book #1)

Review:A mystery with a woman struggling in a mans world, to make ends meet, and get over loss of family and the aftermath of war. A Chtidtian viewpoint thrown combined to make this a story I didn't put down until finished. Thank you for an enjoyable read. Read more

Tried and True (Wild at Heart Book #1)
Tried and True (Wild at Heart Book #1)

Review:I found this book to be very bland, too predictable and unbelievable.
The premise was not believable. The complication at the end was totally unbelievable in the way it was changed in a heart beat rather than resolved over time as it would have to have been. It left the Dev complication unresolved and the injured person without a hint of what the outcome would be. The set up for the next two books is what is obvious.
So many obvious issues left hanging and the abrupt "ending" classifies... Read more
