Come Rain or Come Shine by Jan Karon

    I love following this series and their characters and seeing them grow up and evolve.  I have followed Dooley and Lace from the start and now it is time for their big day.  Come Rain or Come Shine tells of the days leading up to Lace and Dooley' s wedding  and all that is going into it.  The have decided to have a nice country wedding with a potluck reception, but soon find out that there is more to it than first thought.  I loved how the Flower sisters came to the rescue and how the entire "family" helped out.
      There are some old and some new characters in the book and we  learn more about how how the families are formed, the heartaches involved from the past and future, and much forgiveness.  I loved seeing all the work that went into their wedding day, learning about Dooley's new job, and hope for more in the future.
     I received a copy to read and review, and also checked out an audio book to listen as well.

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.
