Review:Tamera Alexander’s novels are certainly listed among my favorites simply for the rich historical tapestry that she weaves behind the stories. To Wager Her Heart captures a fascinating glimpse of time when freedman schools were not widely accepted and the railroad was still booming.
In this particular novel, I just adored the characters. Alexandra Jamison is probably going to be a favorite heroine for a while—she grows so much in the novel! And Sylas Rutledge is an all-around good guy who ... Read more
Review:Really held my attention and I read it through at one sitting. In the beginning when it started off with 'sex' situations I almost stopped reading but then saw it fit into the plot and why. Still would not have bought it because of the descriptive 'sex'. Read more
Review:If you enjoy historical novels, then this one fits the bill. Tracie Peterson does her homework and many of the facts of the Whitman massacre are accurate in her story. Grace and her sisters have come west to meet up with their uncle in Oregon Territory. Grace had to marry in order for them to be accepted on the Wagon Train but her husband has died and as we are introduced to the characters we find that it was a loveless marriage.
At the Whitman Mission, Grace meets Trapper, Alex Armistead... Read more
Review:This was a very entertaining read. The author's narrative and descriptions kept me turning the pages. I hated putting it down for the night. I really enjoyed that there was no explicit sex. There were sexual references but they were very tasteful. I love reading good clean historical fiction. The faith aspects of the book were very refreshing and added to the story. Read more

Review:Each story, some more than others, inspired me to draw closer to God, trusting in His perfect plan. Since each story was the beginning of a three-part series, I can not wait to see where each author will take their characters. Read more
Review:I loved the patience and maturity that Matt consistently showed. I also liked the suspense of the story. I would have liked more light on (1) the apparent hostility of Grace's dad towards her at the beginning, (2) the outcome of the David Simmons case (3) the motive of involving Grace in throwing the case. I do hope there will be a follow-up story on Matt and Grace. Read more
Review:I did like this book. It was entertaining and even a little suspenseful. However, it really doesn't stand alone as a book. It only takes you through the first part of the Grand Tour. It would be quite educational to go on a Grand Tour, but not so much fun to keep spoiled rich heirs in line. Read more
Review:This book captivates your soul and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It has sloppily many unexpected turns that this is the best book Cameo Renae has written. Although I do not agree with everything she put in here, it is impossible to forget this book. I know this is all just a matter of option I would recommend this book to anyone. I will have to have a talk with the author about killing certain people who I will never forget or forgive. This is a all around fantastic book. Read more
Review:Adult reader and I enjoyed this series very much. Wonderful characters that you really care about. Beware, you will immediately have to go buy all of the other books as well to finish this amazing story. One of my new favorites! Read more
