Little Tidbits of life, food and family!

I made it a point to read every book written by Tracie Peterson. She's a master storyteller! Here's my review: This is an amazing book! It has moments of sadness and moments of happiness. A newly married couple start their new life in the corrupt town of Cheyenne. The characters are written brilliantly! There are some horrible men, but they get what they deserve. Marybeth astounds me! She's strong, capable, loving, and makes the best of every situation. Edward is a protector and a good provider. Their arranged marriage brings companionship and safety. The secondary characters are relatable and easy to like. Fred, Eve, and Melody are all wonderful friends who become like family to Edward and Marybeth. I really enjoy the way that Tracie Peterson writes her stories. They are always full of detailed descriptions and vivid imagery. She also weaves faith into her books, which I find encouraging! I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

I picked up this book at the library because of the cute cover! I'm so glad that I did! It's a fun book and gets the reader ready for a cozy winter in a cabin (or at home!) Here's my review: This is such a fun book! There are scrumptious recipes, fun activities, and wonderful tips for having a great cabin adventure! I borrowed it from the library but I'm going to buy it because it's just that good!

I love these books by Belle Calhoune! They're full of good times, a strong community and family ties! Here's my review: Another sweet and clean romance by Belle Calhoune! The setting of Moose Falls, Alaska, provides the perfect backdrop for love! This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. There are a ton of familiar characters! The three handsome Stone brothers are wonderful! Their brotherly bond is strong and true. Hattie is still a fire cracker! She doesn't let her illness stop her from living life. Sophia is amazing! She's a strong, sexy, successful single mother! I enjoyed seeing Caleb grow and mature throughout the story! I really liked that Caleb was able to talk to his father about their painful past. As he learns about a distressing secret, he feels closer to Red and ready to listen to his heart. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Forever/ Hatchette Book Group via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are ...

When this book came out I knew that I was going to love it! The beautiful cover and the description intrigued me. I'm so glad that I read it! Here's my review: Wow! Another fantastic book by Ann Gabhart! It's set in Sourwood, Kentucky, a small community in the mountains. This book pulled on my heartstrings in many ways. There are many difficulties to overcome. Death, superstitions, and loss are part of life. Each of the main characters had special and unique qualities. Gordon, with his passion to establish a church and school in the mountains. Mira with her compassionate heart and patience. Ada June, with her tender heart that longs for family and is loyal to those she trusts. The love story is special. Gordon knows his hearts desire, but Mira is cautious. As she learns to put her faith in the Lord, her heart opens to Gordon. Gordon and Mira are great examples of how the Bible reminds us to care for the widows and orphans. They truly are the hands and feet of Jesus.

Liz Tolsma writes such interesting and deep books. This book really made me think about life and how much that I have to be grateful for! Here's my review: Wow. More than 5 stars for this book! It touched my heart in so many ways. I was intrigued to read the book because I have Polish and Ukrainian grandparents. I'm sure that many of my family members endured similar devastating experiences. The main characters are amazing! Helena reminds me so much of my grandmother. Her courage to face every day is commendable. She suffers so many losses and almost loses herself. Her faith in God is tested many times. McKenna reminds me of me! Her longing to figure out her past and to try and restore relationships is remarkable. The imagery brings the countryside of Lemkovyna to life. I could see the hills dotted with sheep and hear the joyful laughter of the families living there. There are so many difficult circumstances in the book. The devastating horrors of war, death, work camps,...

I enjoy reading the Love inspired suspense books! They are relatively short but full of action! Here's my review: Wow! I truly enjoyed reading this book! It's a fast paced, action packed story! The characters are fantastic! Kelly and her dog, Nico are the perfect partners! Kelly doesn't hide from the truth and is determined to finish her investigation, no matter what. There are lots of twists and surprises! The ending was a complete shock! A definite must read!

I love when I win books and they turn out to be amazing! I enjoyed this book very much! Here's my review: Wow! This is an exceptional book! It's almost like Clue. There are so many different scenarios and potential culprits that my mind was swirling with the possibilities. The perpetrator was the last person that I would have thought it was. What an array of remarkable characters! Louisa is a complex character. Her relationship with her twin brother is strained. She loves her high society life, and Paul detests it. Malcolm, an old friend of the family, instantly clashes with Louisa as she remains adamant about her brothers innocence. Mrs. Watson is my favorite! She speaks her mind, but her heart is genuine. During the investigation regarding the Burning Of Rosemont Abbey, so many other things come to light. A secret romance, blackmail, betrayals, and murders. I loved the ending except that it was kind of a cliffhanger. This is the first book that I've read written by...
