Review of Oregon Outback

Oregon Outback is written by Elizabeth Goddard.

This book contains four stories but each story can stand on its own or they can be read as a group. I liked each story and found them all to be interesting and fun to read.

The setting is described beautifully and really adds to all the stories. You will want to visit the area after reading this! The characters are well developed for the stories being short. I thought the author did a good job at giving you a feel for the personalities and personal issues each of the main characters had.

Of the four stories I enjoyed the third one the best. I enjoyed them all but this one seemed the most genuine. In that story the relationship develops in a realistic way and the interaction of the two main characters was entertaining.

I gave this book 5/5 stars. I thought for the length of the stories they were well-developed and interesting reads. I thought the intrigue and mystery that was in some of the stories was believable and made the stories move along quickly. If you are looking for an easy and quick read to escape into, these stories would be great.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Review of The Struggle

The Struggle is written by Wanda E. Brunstetter.

This is the third book in the Kentucky Brothers series. This book mostly follows Timothy Fisher and his wife Hannah. You observe their relationship struggles and see how they grow closer to the Lord and each other. There are also many other characters in the book. Each character is developed well and the book concludes all the stories it presents.

Overall I enjoyed the book. I do think you need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this book to the fullest. There are characters introduced in the other books that play important parts in this book. That said this was not my favorite in the series. I do think the author is a great writer but this particular book just fell flat for me and that is why I only gave it 4/5 stars.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.
