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.
