At Love's Bidding by Regina Jennings

     A cute book about how Miranda Wimplegate goes to the Ozarks with her grandfather to track down a painting that should not have been sold.   The circumstances they find themselves in there are very different than they are used to as the town if very rural and they are used to Boston.  They also find themselves dealing in livestock instead of the antiques that they are used to dealing with.  While they continue on their mission to find the missing item, they must rely on the help of the manager, Wyatt Ballentine to keep the business running.
     I liked the interactions between the characters and how they had to handle being in an unfamiliar situation.  I know I would probably feel like a fish out of water if I had to go from the city of Boston to the Missouri Ozarks during this time and would have no idea how to get myself out of what they found themselves in charge of.
    I would recommend this to anyone who would like a lighthearted read.
    I received a copy of this from the publisher 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. 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.
