Darkness Calls the Tiger by Janyre Tromp

This is an exceptional book! Here's my review: Wow! What an exceptional book! My emotions are all over the place. From deep despair to a promising future, but what a road to get there. Trust is the main theme of this book. Trust in others, trust when there seems to be no hope and ultimately trust in God. The characters are written brilliantly. Kai brought tears to my eyes, tears for the pain that she endured, tears for the losses in her life, and then tears of happiness when she can finally leave her past behind and embrace her future. Ryan reminds me of Jesus. His sacrificial love for others almost cost him his life. I can't say that this isn't a difficult book to read because it is. Because of the time frame and the historical significance, there is a lot of violence. There is also hope and restoration. There's also a realistic struggle with trusting God. I appreciated the author's note in regard to this. I certainly look forward to reading the next book by Janyre Tromp. Her writing drew me in, and I read in anticipation of what would happen next! I highly recommend reading this book!

The Higher Desire Wife by J Parker

There's a lack of Christian books available to review on Library Thing so this is one that I chose to win. It's pretty explicit in some areas, some of it actually made me blush. Here's my review: I found this book to be interesting and informative! This book outlines helpful information for women whose sexual drive is higher than their husbands. The author provides hope, advice, and even scriptures to help women as they walk this path. I found a lot of wisdom and practical ways to apply this information in my own life. I won this book from Baker Books via LibraryThing!

Until We All Share Joy by Heather Wood

This is a wonderful novella! I was totally captivated by the story in its entirety. The characters are relatable and easy to like. Titan is my favorite! His compassion and gentleman-like ways are endearing. He grows so much during the book and he also helps others grow. Grandfather Gates is wonderful! He appears gruff and grouchy but he has a heart of gold. This book helped me to remember how blessed I am to have a family that loves me and to cherish every moment with them. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!

Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray

I really enjoyed this book! It inspired me to research this time period and the people who shaped history then! Here's my review: This is an intriguing and interesting book! Historical fiction is my favorite genre, and this book is captivating. I had never heard of Frances Perkins before. I will definitely be researching her life and the ways that she attributed to politics. She was an amazing woman who sacrificed a lot to help her country. If you read this book, let me know what you think! Jeanette
