Sweet Mercy by Ann Tatlock

Another great book by Tatlock! This story takes place during the prohibition era and is about a family trying to make a better life for themselves by moving out of crime ridden Minnesota to peaceful Ohio. Eve Marryat is a young woman who finds tranquility at her Uncle's lodge in Mercy, Ohio. She is just beginning to get settled and starts dating for the first time when her world is turned upside down and she is faced with a decision which threatens her core morals and beliefs. This book is a well written story set during an interesting time in history. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. Thank you to the publisher for the free copy.

The Guardian by Beverly Lewis

This is a sweet Amish story. A little Amish girl becomes lost, an Englisher finds her and returns her to her family. This is only the beginning of the story. The main story is about how an Englisher worms into the hearts of an Amish community and how the Amish community helps a young woman heal and figure out her place in the world. I enjoyed this story but it was not one of my favorite Lewis stories. There were times when I scanned through pages. Thank you to the publisher for the free book to review.

Unrivaled by Siri Mitchell

Loved this book!! I have enjoyed all of Siri Mitchell's books and this one did not disappoint. There is nothing better than a mystery mixed with a love story and many scenes describing candy making. Yum! I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters, Lucy Kendall, daughter of a struggling candy maker, and Charlie Clarke, son of a successful candy maker. In this story they both are struggling in a relationship with a parent, with how to make their families candy business more successful and with their competitive relationship with each other. This is a book I highly recommend. The story pulled me in from the very beginning and was a delightful read all the way to the end. Thank you to the publishers for this free copy.
