"A Bride's Journey to the Colorado Territory"
By
Diana Lesire Brandmeyer

 "A Bride's Journey to the Colorado Territory" is a excellent book. It is filled with adventure , suspense and  most important a love story.  

This is the 2nd book in the "Frontier Legacy" series.  It can be a read alone book.  

This is the first book by this author I've read. I love the authors ability to make you seem part of the book, the characters seem real and give you insight about what it was like to travel West during the gold rush.

Synopsis - She's running from grief.  He's running from war memories. Can they find love in this dangerous journey West.
Cornelia's parents sent her to America hoping to heal her heart. Accompanied by her protective brother Raymond. They'll travel by covered wagon to Colorado Territory to search for gold. Jake, once a prisoner of the union army leaves Tennessee in disgrace. He wants nothing more than to find enough gold to start life over. The last he want was to fall in love.

My thoughts - While reading this book the first thing to stand out is the hardship people had to endure. To me there was always concern about the weather, food control and Indians.  The other thing I noticed was the fact women had no voice.  They were not taking serious when they made a since and did the majority of the work. 

Rating - I will greatly give this book a 5 out of 5

Recommendation - I will gladly recommend this book to family and friends through Facebook, bookbud, my blog, Amazon and Goodreads.

"Don't Keep Silent"
By
Elizabeth Goddard

     "Don't Keep Silent" by Elizabeth Goddard is the last book in the series . The series "Uncommon Justice" is about three different brothers in each book. It is a stand-alone but you might want to read in order. This isn't the first book by this author I've read.  She is one of my favorite suspense writer.

     The first thing that caught my eye was the book cover. It was telling me, this is a suspense book for you. While reading this book and making it to the end, I realized it had a lot of interesting thing.  This book was filled with everything you could ask for in a book.  It has action, adventure, suspense, murder, love and even human trafficking.  Then I opened the first page and that was it I was hooked.  I never wanted to put it down and I didn't want to end the book. I wanted it to continue! The author made all the characters likeable and interesting.  I will gladly recommend this book to family and friends.

Finally Home

"Finally Home"
By
Jennifer Crosswhite

 "Finally Home" is the third book and last book in Jennifer Crosswhite series "The Route Home".  I would recommend reading all the books in order because some of the characters were part of the previous books.

Synopsis: In 1882, at the end of the Oregon Trail you will meet Amelia Martin, a soon to be schoolteacher with a great vivid imagination, a gift for growing things, and obsessed with some novels.  When the stagecoach is robbed Amelia feels she met her true hero. Hank Paulson wants to be her hero without letting his true identity known.  Can Hank still be what Amelia wants or will his identity change everything?

My thoughts: This isn't the first book by Jennifer Crosswhite, and will definitely not be my last. What can I say about this book? This story was adventurous, adorable and a all around great historical christian fiction.  I fell in love with all the characters especially the main characters Amelia Martin and Bank Paulson.  The character's were well written and storyline was easy to follow. Once I started the book, it was extremely hard to put down.

Rating I rate this book a 5 out of 5

I would recommend reading this book on social media and other retailers

Great story



Reckless Love
By
Betty White



Reckless Love by Betty White was a wonderfully written book. This is the first book I've read by this author and will not be the last. 

This is also the last book in a series of three books. The series is called "Daughtry House". I didn't realize this book was a part of a series till I already started reading. I would recommend reading the books in order, since some story lines are continued in this book. 

The character's are likable and relatable making the book hard to put down.  Aurora is a strong woman and knows exactly what she wants.  Zane is a deputy sheriff whom is there to get to witnesses and searching for a killer of his long time mentor. The book is written in a accurate vision of the time period which was right after the Civil War.

Rating of our of 5 out of 5
