The Bartered Bride Collection Book Review

The Bartered Bride Romance Collection: 9 Historical Stories of Arranged Marriages (ebook)

The Bartered Bride Collection is written by multiple authors.

This is a great collection of 9 stories.  Each story can be read on its own and all are about brides and weddings.  I liked that these were all put into one book; it makes for a great gift book. 

I will not go into the details of all the stories as you can read the summary for that.  I will say however that each story is worth reading.  The characters and stories kept my attention.  I thought each author wrote well and kept their story moving with interesting dialog and fun characters. 

I gave this collection 5/5 stars.  I enjoyed each story and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction.  I especially liked that although this book has the 9 stories they still kept the print normal size and therefore it is easy to read.  I highly recommend this book!

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 8 Important Money Decisions

8 Important Money Decisions for Every Couple: *Discover Financial Harmony *Communicate Through Your Differences *Build a Stronger Relationship

 8 Important Money Decisions for Every Couple is written by Russ Crosson.

This is a great book for all married couples, whether newlyweds or those married 50 years.  If you are in a relationship where you do not talk about money you must read this book. You will learn how to get the discussion started and what to talk about.  Who pays the bills and why do they?  Is what you want to buy worth spending the money on?

I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I enjoyed each chapter and thought the book was well written and easy to understand.  I liked the chapter from the wife at the end of the book.  I thought her perspective was very helpful.  This chapter was also written in very easy to understand language. This book does not come across preachy but rather has a very informative and helpful design.
