The Lost Heiress by Roseanna M. White

I enjoy Roseanna White's style of writing. She spends just the right amount of time describing the setting, without forcing you to scan ahead to skip the boring description, has interesting characters, and a gripping story which keeps you interested all the way to the end of the book. As a matter of fact, I was bummed when this story was over. I would be excited for a sequel. My only complaint about the book was that there were many, many characters. I had to flip to the front of the book to the character list until about the middle of the book when I could finally keep everyone straight. The difficulty being White decided to have several names for many of the characters, so it made it a challenge at times to figure out which character she was writing about. Once you get all the characters straightened out, you will enjoy this beautiful story about a young lady seeking her station in life and seeking love with a twist in the story which brings a thrilling mystery plot to round out a great book. Thank you to the publisher for this copy to review.

Until Harvest by Sarah Loudin Thomas

Sarah Loudin Thomas is a new author for me. I decided to go a little out of my comfort zone and review something I would not normally read and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. I adored the story and her writing was easy to read. I was pleased with her description of the places and people because she was clear and concise. The two main characters, Margaret and Henry, are young and dealing with personal tragedies in their lives and the unknown of what the future holds for them, but the care and love of their family and friends help guide them to a better understanding of God's love and healing. There were no crazy twist and turns in this book. Just a good solid story line with a sweet ending. I recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher for the free review.

A Harvest of Hope by Lauraine Snelling

I enjoyed this book. I read the first one in this series and I wasn't too impressed but this book was much more enjoyable. What I love most about this book are the stories of faith through hardship. There are deaths, physical healing, a town tragedy, and serious town drama, but through it all, the characters of this book show faith in God's mercy and incredible strength. They seek to do what is right no matter the cost and encourage each other along the way. The synopsis of the book is focused on Miriam and Trygve's struggles and relationship. This story line is a good portion of the book, but there are a few other stories within that theme which really bring depth and goodness to this book. I recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher for the free copy.

Where Trust Lies by Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan

I usually enjoy books by Oke, but this book was hard to read. I found myself skipping large areas and skimming. To me the book was more about the scenery and the Canadian cities than it was about the characters and their stories. The story line kept dragging on with the story line not going anywhere except to different city ports and the same similar conversations happening between characters. The book became interesting around the last quarter of it. I really can't recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher for the free copy.

Beyond All Dreams by Elizabeth Camden

Truly enjoyable book! Everything from the description of the setting, to the strong characters, to the captivating story line, and you are locked into an excellent read. Camden's female character, Anna O'Brien, is a sweet girl who has a stable job at the Library of Congress, but she is unsettled about the events which led to her father's death. An intriguing Congressman, Luke Callahan, offers to help Anna connect all the missing pieces to her mystery, but trouble seems to be following them and neither one is sure it will be worth all they have worked for and protected. I highly recommend this book. You will never want to put it down! Thank you to the publisher for the free copy.
