Calico Spy by Margaret Brownley

     I have enjoyed getting to know the Pinkerton Operatives in this series by Margaret Brownley.  I love seeing what they do to fit in .  Katie Madison works to fit in as a Harvey girl to solve the murder of two waitresses.  She finds it harder to learn all the things a Harvey must know to server the meals than she does being an operative.  She also finds herself almost blowing her cover as she stops a bank robbery.
     I enjoyed seeing Katie figure out ways to put together what she knows while trying to keep her cover. It is not made easy since she does have to let the sheriff know and he was expecting a man and does not want to work with her. I also liked learning more about the Harvey Girls
    I really enjoyed this book as well as the series and recommend it to anyone who loves a good read.

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.
