"What remains true"

 " What Remains True " by Nancy Naigle was a great Contemporary, Christian romance novel. What a great book that was heartwarming, adventures and down to earth.

The story about Merry Anna Foster was a COO of her families business. She was just over a divorce and she needed to find herself. What did she want to do for the rest of her life. 

Adam Locklear was a Rodeo bull rider that had a goal of winning the big pot ate the end of the season. He is on the right track. Keep everything at bay!

This was such a great book. You are pulled in from the very beginning and you stay there throughout the whole book. The characters are real and likable. It was a very fast read. I wished it would continue with the story, that's how great it was. The are several things I loved. It was the small town. It is a town that everyone knows everything about what's going on around town. There are small, sweet shops and great relationships.

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars

I will recommend this book to family, friends and others through social media, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Wal-Mart, Goodreads and Bookbud.

Sea Glass Cottage by Irene Hannon

 Great contemporary Christian romance by author Irene Hannon. 

 This is the 8th book in "The Hope Harbor" series.  I have to say that I haven't read the other books in this series. This is just me, but I feel like I need to start with the first book. I'd like to get to know the characters with each book.

Jack Colby and Christi Reece have a past and Jack doesn't want anything to do with Christi.  Christi comes to Hope Harbor to find Jack because she is in need to money. Will Christi get the help she is desperate to get? Read to find out.

The book has such a lot going for it! The characters are so real and well written. You feel like you are among the characters.  I wish I could live in Hope Harbor. Just the description the author gives is beautiful.  This story has it all. It is heartwarming and realistic. You learning about forgiveness, faithfulness, and love.
