A Thousand Shall Fall by Andrea Boeshaar

     I have read many books by this author and have enjoyed each one.  This one was no exception.  I enjoy the opportunity to read books set in historical time periods where I can learn what life was like during that time, but still have a good story to read as well.  I seem to be able to better grasp what I am learning when it is placed in that setting.
     This book takes place during the Civil War.  It takes place in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.  Having been to this area, I was able visualize the main character, Carrie Ann as she traveled along looking for her sister.
    I really enjoyed seeing how the story progressed between Carrie Ann and Colonel Collier.  While they had their differences, including her being a Southern girl and him a Union officer, they were still able to accomplish their goals.  Carrie Ann soon finds herself torn between her loyalties and has hard decisions to make.
     I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good story especially one that has a historical background.  I received a copy of this book from LitFuse to review.

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.
