Book Review ~ A Cowboy for Keeps by Jody Hedlund

 A Cowboy for Keeps (Colorado Cowboys Book #1) by [Jody Hedlund]

A Cowboy for Keeps

This was a sweet and delightful read. More and more I find myself turning to Christian historical romance for comfort reading. I've always enjoyed marriage of convenience stories, so this was just perfect for me.There's lots of adventure and romance. The hero is perfect and swoon worthy. I really enjoyed the Colorado setting as well I'm looking forward to continuing this series and getting to know the rest Wyatt's family.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley for the purpose of review.

Book Review ~ All That We Carried by Erin Bartels

All That We Carried

 All That We Carried


This was a really good family drama. I enjoyed the author's writing style, and the story flowed well. I like stories of siblings reconciling, so this was right up my alley. Both of these characters were likable and flawed. They both experienced a lot of growth through out the story. Also, the setting was gorgeous. 

I was disappointed in the faith themes on this story. They were extremely vague. If this book wasn't by a Christian publisher, I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be Christian fiction. It just seemed "spiritual". Neither of the characters were Christians and there wasn't really any religious foundation to draw from. There were a couple of characters that kept trying to give them good directions but some of that was just chalked up to fate. It was somewhat confusing. The story was engaging though. If you like family drama or adventure stories, I would recommend it.

Book Review ~ The Dress Shop on King Street

 



I thought I would really enjoy this one, but, unfortunately, it didn't hold my attention. I ended up DNFing about one-third of the way through. It's getting great reviews, though, so I would recommend checking it out for yourself.
