Not what I thought this book would be like. The German Nurse was hard to follow and not much of a page-turner. I can't give this book a 5 star rating but I would a 3. There are good areas of the storyline, just few and far. I have to say the ending was good!

Between The Wild Branches by Connilyn Cossette
Connilyn has done it again with "Between The Wild Branches". I was mesmerized by such a wonderfully written book by Connilyn Cassette. " Between The Wild Branches " is the second book in The Covenant House series. I have to recommend reading "To Dwell Among Cedars" first. I loved returning to the lives of Lukio and Shoshana. It is a book that made me cry in one section and laugh in another.
What a page turner, adventurous story. Connilyn knows how to pull you into the storyline from the very beginning draws you back in time.
I would highly recommend this book anyone who loves a great story!

Come back to me by Jody Hedlund
When I first read the description of this book "Come back to me" from Revell, I thought why not read something different. This is the first time I've read one of Jody Hedlund so that was new also.
I love reading all type of Christian book, but haven't found a time travel book I've liked. "Come back to me" was the very first. The story pulled me in from the very first pages. The characters were well written. I fell in love with William and Marian. They brought the book alive for me. The book had lots of twist and turns. I definitely say this is one amazing book.
I would love to give this book 5 out of 5 star's

No Journey to Far by Carrie Turansky
What a wonderful continuation of the McAlister family. Carrie Turansky is one of my favorite Christian writer. She has a way of pulling you into the story from the very beginning.
Description - A family long divided, a mysterious trunk, and a desperate journey across the sea - all in the name of love. The epic saga of the McAlister continues in this rivet sequel to No Ocean Too Wide. In 1909, Grace was sent to Canada with thousands children through British Home Children. She was lucky to be adopted by a great couple, not everyone was that fortunate. She found a trunk that let her know that she had another family. She will search for her real family.
The story of Garth begins with him returning from the Great War. He will leave England in search of his little sister and his girlfriend Emma, who said she would wait for him. His adventure begins with him going to see his girlfriend and she isn't where she was supposed to be.
My thoughts - I spent a lot of time wondering what would happen to the McAlister family in this book. I knew all but one child was found and we would be reading about Grace and her journey. I fell in love with the characters and their story during this continue sage. I have to say that I really liked the parts of the story that during difficulty they was always communication with their Lord. I learned about how British Home Children were treated when people would find out about them. They were looked down at!
Rating - I give this book a five out of five stars
Recommindation - I will gladly recommend this book to family and friends though Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I will leave my review on netgalley, Amazon, bookbud, Goodreads, and Barnes and Noble.

Never Miss by Melissa Koslin
Never Miss is Melissa Koslin debut book. I liked the book, but I feel that after Melissa develops her form of writing her second book will be great.
In the first few pages the book caught my attention, but after that I struggled with staying focus. The character was likeable, but the one thing that I hated was the word "perfect". " Perfect was used to describe several times. I have to say that my all time favorite character is Max the cat. I love the fact that max was like a human.
I like to end with the fact that I will read more from this author.
I will recommend this book to family and friend.
I give this book a 4 out of 5

Deadly Intention by Lisa Harris
Lisa Harris is one of my all-time favorite author. If you read Deadly Intention she will be your favorite too. Deadly Intention is a excellent book. It is intriguing, suspenseful, and romantic. I was pulled into the book from the very first page. The main two characters are Josh and Caitlyn. The book starts with the murder of Josh's wife. They work together to solve several murders. They are so loveable, down to earth, likable. It will be hard for you to put down, it was for me. I recommend you and others to read this excellent book!
I give this a 5 out of 5 star's!
