A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears


     Lydia King is doing her best to stay afloat and help others at the same time. Her father is not doing well financially and her mother is sick.  Lydia sets out to help others, but soon finds herself needing to help herself.  She is working with the Teaville Moral Society to collect donations for those less fortunate and is trying to land herself a wealthy suitor at the same time.  Instead she finds herself unsuccessful trying to get a donation from the most wealthy man in town, Nicholas Lowe, and instead teaming up with him to help others together.
      I liked seeing how Lydia teamed up with Nicholas even when it was not her best choice.  I liked seeing the motives behind why they were doing things and how sometimes even when it wasn't for the best reasons, things could still work out.  I liked how they learned about trust and how to work together.  I also always enjoy reading books set in historical settings as it is interesting to see how things worked in the past.
     I really enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend it to others.
     I received a copy of this book to read and review from the author/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. Jane Kirkpatrick’s link to a giveaway until April 8.    http://janeswordsofencouragement.blogspot.com/   I received this book free to review.

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.
