Masquerade by Nancy Moser

This book was an entertaining book with a couple of twists and turns one might not expect. It is a great lesson in being thankful for the many blessings God had given you. Also, that not living your life in truth can cause many unnecessary burdens to fall upon you. Charlotte Gleason lived a spoiled life but family secrets tear it apart and she is forced to go to America to marry a man she doesn’t know. She is accompanied by her maid Dora who Charlotte forces to impersonate her and go with the man she was supposed to marry. The trails of untruths lead to many difficult circumstances’ for both girls, but in the end they both find the place in their world they were meant to be.
I enjoyed this easy read and was captivated by the web of lies and trouble Charlotte kept weaving and the trouble it was causing for both her and Dora. I would recommend this book.

The Vigilante's Bride by Yvonne Harris

Emily McCarthy had no choice but to leave all she knows and travel to Montana by train to marry a man she doesn’t know. She is trying her best to realize she has no other choice when she is suddenly kidnapped on the stagecoach while it is being robbed. The man who kidnaps her does it because he feels he is saving her from a horrible marriage to an old man who he knows personally as unkind and abusive. She is not amused, but the story unfolds into a love story of two people who were not expecting to find love in the mist of the wild cattle range of Montana.
I enjoyed this book. It was a romance story with adventure and kept my interest throughout. I would recommend this book.

In Every Heartbeat by Kim Vogel Sawyer

Libby, Pete, and Bennett are three friends who are just starting college and trying to figure life out. All three were raised in an orphanage and each has different dreams to follow. Libby’s dream of becoming a journalist takes her into Pete’s past which cause Libby and Pete to rethink their dreams and goals. Bennett struggles with trying to figure out his place when he sees that his friends Libby and Pete seem to have a focus.
This book was not one of my favorites. I thought the story line was sometimes drawn out instead of keeping my interest and moving along. In the end, it does have a great message about submitting your life to God’s will. Overall is was an okay read.
