This did not seem to be in any way a retelling of Jane Austen books. It seemed to just use her as a motivator to move the plot forward. I wish there had been more plot development and characterization. It seemed to wrap up just a little too neatly. But by definition a novella is short so I gu...
Wow, probably my favorite historical fiction. The author weaves a beautiful story of two lives in different countries and how they are brought together through love and war. Danny is a young boy who receives an assignment from his teacher to choose a pen pal from a different country. Through l...
Interesting premise and it started strong, but it spiraled into a silly collision of crazy events, and it wasn't tied up very well at the end. Yes, pastors and their wives have a fine line to walk between ministry to the congregation and serving their own families, and I liked the way the author...
What a really great piece of "fan fiction". (Who knew there was such a category?) It just amazes me the way the author can interweave her different characters' responses all in the same scene without getting bogged down. The story always flowed. Not to mention that she made the female characters ...
Confessions of a Prayer Slacker... This book has been ssssuch an amazing book!! We can have such a hhhhuge tendency, as Christians, to either be legalistic toward others or allow feelings of condemnation concerning our own prayer life, based on what we "see" in others... This book has been such a...
Home to Walnut Hills is a short lovely romance. I picked up the novella for free and I am SOOO glad I did.Tracy and Noah's story is sweet, chaste, and entertaining. It is rare to find an author who can write characters with depth of emotion without being sappy. Who are physically attracted to eac...
I liked the novella more than the first in this series, "Tea With Emma". Keri was more likable for me but I still had problems with her attitude toward Grant. However, when she finally came around to asking him why he left "her" dream job, she definitely improved. However, when she did the TST...
The book was a real emotional rollercoaster, not the happy–happy book its predecessor in this series was. Even on that note, it was an excellent read. Once more Diane has shown a real mastery in the art of character development as well as mastering the method of dramatic story–telling. Her backgr...
The wonderful thing about belong to e-Reader book clubs is that you discover stories you may never have searched for on your own. Many times they are free.This is a Christian romance story.The main character, Lucy, studies a diary left behind by her aunt.There is so much I loved about this book b...
One week in and I’m already behind in a couple of my courses. I don’t remember this much reading, but I suppose that goes with the territory for a history major. These professors could learn a lot from Mrs. Zankowski about making the material more interesting, but overall I like most of them. &nb...
Once inside the executive office suite, the guard led him to Peter Lanham’s office which he unlocked then flipped on the overhead light. “Mr. Smithe arrived about an hour ago, but otherwise none of the other employees are in yet.” Matt set his brief...
