The Shepard's Wife by Angela Hunt

 This is the second book by Angela Hunt in The Jerusalem Road series.  The author is a wonderful story teller. 

Synopsis - Yeshua of Nazareth has two sister's. One sister Damaris was married to a merchants son and Pheodora was married to a very simple man.  Damaris could never understand why her little sister would settle for a simple life. The Lord had plans for both sister's.

My Thoughts -You can never go wrong with one of Angela Hunt books. She is so good at letting you be a part of the book. You feel life your being transform to a different time period in history. This is a great story and a page turner. 

I would recommend this book to other.

I give this book a 5 out of 5

Sisters of war by Lana Korlchek

 Synopsis - Kiev in 1941: Watching the Red Army withdraw from the Ukraine in the case of Hitler's relentless advances. Sister's Natasha and Lisa Smirnove realized their lives were about to change.

My thoughts - I was asked by a friend if I liked the book "German Midwife " and that I might like the "Sister's of War" by Lana Korichek.

I fell in love with this book! It was a great! Sister's of War was a page turner and drew me in from the first chapter. Sister's of War was about what people go through during the most horrible time in our history. It was a war of great magnitude. It affected Natasha and Lisa and their family and friends in several areas.  This book was well written and you can see the author research of the time period.  There were areas of this book that made me cry and laugh. It made me wonder how people survived during this time. Beside being a page turner, there was adventure and romance. 

I will gladly recommend this book to family, friend's and my local library.

I will give this book a 5 out of 5.

Nine by Rachelle Dekker

 This is the second book I have read by Rochelle Dekker.  The first book was a calibration with her father Ted Dekker. I think this was a good book but it wasn't my cup of tea. The book didn't catch my attention in the first chapter. It was hard to stay focused on the book. I have to say the people were likable. I think this book will be excellent for people who are younger.

I am rating this book a 3 out of a five.

I will recommend this book because, it is probably others cup of tea

Royal by Danielle Steel

 The very first book I read by Danielle Steel was called "The Ring".  I was about 17 and it was one amazing book set during WWII.  I feel in love with this wonderful author and have loved her books since.  The "Royal" pulled me into the story from the very first page. There is everything in this book that you expect.  The first is the WWII story. You see the affect of the war on people up from the royal family to the poor. You see what families had to do to get through this horrible war. You see young love develop, unexpected death, and compassion. All the characters are likeable and the book was easy to follow. The book was right up my alley with my love for WWII period.

I would gladly recommend this book to family and friends through review's on social media, Amazon, Goodreads, Netgalley, and Bookbud.

I received this complimentary copy from Netgalley and publisher company. I was under no obligation to write a review. The review is my thought and opinions.

The secret of Saffron Hall by Clare Marchant

 What a great book by Clare Marchant. This is the first novel I have read by this author. The Secret of Saffron Hall is excellent book.  I love anything about the Tudor and this was right up my alley.  The book is written it two different time periods 2019 and 1538.  You will love Amber and Eleanor and the struggle they each have. Sometime I struggle with reading a book in this format, but it was very easy to follow along. If I could describe it I would say it's a book about is love, grief and intrigue. I

I gave a 5 out of 5can

Heartwarming Collection by Wanda Brunstetter

This book "Heartwarming Collection" is a three short stories previously published by author Wanda Brunsetter. Like all of Wanda Brunsetter  book's, this is no exception of being a book you will fall in love with from the first story.

The first story is "Talking for Two", then "The Neighborly Thing" and "Clowning Around".  All the short stories are great, but I always have a problem with having my favorite. My is " Talking for two". It was a story about Tabby, whom signed up for a class because she shudders. The class is on Ventriloquism and taught by Seth Byer. Seth may change Tabby's life forever.

I recommend this book to my family and friends through Facebook, Goodreads, Amazon and my blog
