Book Review: Second Time Around by Melody Carlson This is a charming contemporary romance set in a small seaside town in Oregon, USA. The main characters are middle-aged and former high school friends, who meet un-expectedly, unaware that their lives are about to change 360 degrees.

Book Review The Sound of Light by Sarah Sundin This story begins in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1940 during the time of the German occupation of Denmark and World War II. It was a time of the Danish Resistance and this book’s main characters are both caught up in the Resistance, risking their lives to stand for their country and what they believe in.

Book Review A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz
Book Review A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz
Book Review: A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz A Heart Adrift is an historical romance novel, although I would wish it were a series. I think its story could have continued on in one or two more books instead of just one novel. The book opens with a Prologue on the Virginia Coast in April 1745, yet the main story continues ten years later in York, Virginia 1755. The story centers around two main…

Book Review: Love on the Range by Mary Connealy Book 3 in the Brothers in Arms Series Wow! What a finale! I think this Book #3 is Mary Connealy’s best one of the series. It is filled with drama, suspense, surprises, strong faith, courage, sweet romance, and just a tad bit of humor. The story focuses on Wyatt Hunt and Mary, sister of Kevin Hunt, but throughout the story the characters from Book #1…

Book Review: A View Most Glorious by Regina Scott
Book Review: A View Most Glorious by Regina Scott
Book Review: A View Most Glorious by Regina Scott   American Wonders Collection–Book 3 What would Coraline Baxter, a young independent suffrage supporting woman, consider as “A View Most Glorious”? Would it indeed be the view from the summit of Mount Rainier, after her historic climb? Or would it rather be the view of a new life she secretly dreams of in the future?

Book Review: Love and the Silver Lining by Tammy L. Gray
Book Review: Love and the Silver Lining by Tammy L. Gray There’s a saying “When God shuts a door, He opens a window” meaning that often our plans, even though good and meant to be something that would honor God, are not always His plans for us, thus He shuts the door to our pursuit of them. However, He does not leave us without opportunity to fulfill His plans for us, as He opens a window for us.…
