Review of Prayers for a Woman's Soul

I loved this book and have every intention of giving other copies as presents.  These devotionals are short enough to read them when you don’t have a lot of time but also deep enough that you will be thinking about them all day!   The verses go perfectly with the encouraging writing for the day.  I enjoyed the author’s personal stories and felt uplifted by the author’s writings.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I would recommend it to any woman looking for a devotional book for themselves or one to give as a present.

Review of What A Difference A Mom Makes

What a difference a Mom really can make!  After reading this book you will have a different opinion about how much influence a Mom can have on her son.  I gave this book by Kevin Leman a 5/5 stars.  I thought the book had some great advice and was very easy to understand.  I liked how open the author was with his many personal examples.  I especially liked how the writing helped the subject move from one subject to the next.  The sections on discipline and understanding of how a males mind works were especially enlightening.  This book is perfect for every mom with a son and I would recommend it as a perfect present.  I even think it could be used as a study book for a Sunday School class.  This is a must read book!

Review of A Love Surrendered

This book is the third in the series called Winds of Change written by Julie Lessman.  I highly recommend you read the others in the series before reading this one.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  This book is a wonderful love story.  The author does an excellent job of creating lots of different emotions for her characters.  I would call this a drama filled story and that is what made it so good.  The main characters of Annie and Steven are great characters and you can’t help but cheer for them as their relationship grows.  I have to say that even the sub stories are excellent!  I would recommend this book for any Christian woman who wants to read a romance that will keep them entertained for the whole story!

Review of The Enchanted Truth

This is a short book and that can be a positive or negative when broaching the subject of finding ones prince charming!  This particular book finds a princess needing some help as she searches for her prince.  The advice given is simple yet effective.  The book shows that you need to know yourself before you can start really looking for that other person to complete you.  I liked how it was written as a fun fairy tale yet offered some great real life advice for the reader.  I gave this book 4/5 stars.  Although I enjoyed the book it was not a book I would read again.  I also did not think that if given as a book it would really help the recipient and therefore cannot recommend it as a present either.  That said, if you are looking for a fun read about finding your prince charming you will most likely enjoy this book!

Review of Bluegrass Bachelors

Bluegrass Bachelors is published by Barbour Books.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I liked all the stories but the first one was the best!  The concept of the stories is a set of guy friends who all make an agreement to not get married or at least outlast each other.  It seems like a great idea until they meet women that win their hearts.  The first story is about Drew and Addy.  They have known each other for years but something changes for them when Addy has to move back home for awhile.  Their interactions are well written and believable.   I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought each story was linked to the others very well.  The stories were great on their own but having them all together in one book was perfect.  I would recommend this book for anyone who likes easy to read loves stories.

Review of Hill Country Cattleman

Hill Country Cattleman is published by Love Inspired.

This story follows the relationship of Violet and Raleigh.  They come from two different worlds, yet seem to be attracted to each other at first site.  Violet is from England where she lived a very plush life.  Raleigh is a farm hand in Texas.  When Violet is sent to Texas to live with her brother she meets Raleigh and how they come to know each other is the whole of the story.

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I thought the idea of the story was a great one.  How the characters meet and get to know each other is entertaining.  The problems started with the main character of Violet who was a bit confusing.  She could be bold at times and then be very weak at others.  I did like the minor characters and thought they helped the story flow.  The character of Drew, a man who steps in and wants to marry Violet, was written the best.  The biggest problem with the story was there were not enough interactions between Violet and Raleigh.  There was just too much introspection and not enough conversations.  I do think the story itself is cute though and worth a read!

Review of Where Love Grows

This is book three in the Fields of Home Series written by Jerry Eicher.  I would recommend reading the others in the series before reading this one.  You will get a full understanding of the characters and setting that way and not feel like you are coming into the middle of a story.

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I did not especially enjoy the main character in the story, Susan.  I do not like characters that are very dependent on others and feelings to respond to their circumstances.  I thought she could have been written with more depth.  I liked that the families where forced to face issues that had been hidden in the past.  I would recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of the author or who enjoys Amish fictional stories.
