Stealing Jake by Pam Hillman

    Livy observes a street boy acting as a  pickpocket.  She realizes what he is doing since she used to be one herself.  She now runs an orphanage to help others who are like she was and goes after the boy.   Jake Russell is a sheriff's deputy who meets Livy while going after a thief.  He doesn't feel like he has time to spend on a romance, but still feels drawn to Livy.  
     I like reading historical fiction and this one was a good read.  I liked seeing how Livy not only worked at turning her own life around, but wanted to do the same for others.  By being in the same situation, she could identify with those she helped.

     I received a copy of this book free to review from the publisher.

Sincerely Yours by Jane Kirkpatrick, Ann Shorey, Laurie Alice Eakes, Amanda Cabot

I enjoy getting a chance to read a set of novellas as it gives me a chance to quickly read one story, but keep it going in the other stories.  Each story has similar theme where the main character of the story receives a letter that changes the course of their life.  Each character needs a change and this gives them a chance to alter their lives for the better.  I enjoyed the way that the authors were able to weave the theme through out the stories and how they kept you turning the page to see what would happen to the characters and how the mysterious changes in their lives would turn out.   I have previously read stories by these authors and would enjoy another collaboration like this one.

When Tides Turn by Sarah Sundin

     I have enjoyed reading this series and since I have been studying about WW2 in school, I enjoyed it all the more.  I have liked being about to tie what I have learned in history class with what is in the book because even though it is fiction, it was well researched and gave me a different view on things.  I also enjoyed seeing how the characters interacted even though it was a change of pace for both of them.      I received a copy of the book from the publisher, but the review is entirely mine.

Captivated by the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund

 We now the story of Felicity in the Cowgirl series.  The family has gotten the boarding house back and Felicity cannot do it alone.  She needs help and finds it in an unlikely place.  I liked seeing the story of Felicity and Philip and how their relationship evolved.  There is much intrigue and hidden dangers involved and the book was a real page turner.   Love this series and keeping up with the characters of all the books in the series.
