This story touched me deeply. My heart broke at the struggles faced by each sibling as they become adults and still long to find each other.
With believable, lovable characters, this story remained with me long after I read it.
Highly recommended!

This Historical Fiction Fantasy novel is not my normal genre. The author mentions up front that this is a work of pure fiction and is listed as a Paranormal Romance.
The speculative nature of the action captured my attention until the end. The novel is filled with unexpected turns. I couldn’t put it down.
Thought-provoking. Gripping. I was given a copy of this book with a request for an honest review.

This romance was a lot of fun to read!
Unexpected twists and turns kept me turning pages long past my bedtime. Summers created believable characters that had me rooting for them. A romantic sailboat journey will transport readers to warm climates with balmy breezes.

Excellent book!
Gansky, a master storyteller, has selected sixty people who influenced the church in various ways. Beginning with Peter and ending with Billy Graham, this book is packed with inspirational stories. Gansky provides an overview of each person.
There are names I recognized but didn’t know their story. Other names were new to me. I was especially touched by the lives of John Bunyan, John Newton, and Billy Sunday. The way that Charles Wesley, T.S. Eliot, and C.S. Lewis used their writing skills inspired me. As a writer, this book sparked multiple ideas for articles. I can easily see the same happening for church leaders, educators, and ministers and highly recommend the book for them. Great read for history lovers!

A Little Bit of Charm (The New Beginnings Series)
This story of Rachel, an Amish woman, quickly captured my attention. I love novels where I can learn new things as a natural part of the story and now have a greater appreciation for the Amish way of life and the work involved in horse stables.
A forbidden interest in a Baptist thoroughbred owner doesn’t stop Rachel’s heart from complicating the matter. A wonderful story with lovable, believable characters!
