"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

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

Set the Stars alight

"Set the Stars Alight" by Amanda Dykes

When I was chosen to be on the launch team for "Set the Stars Alight" , I really didn't know what to expect. This wasn't a book I would normally read, but I was up to trying something new. I was so pleasantly surprised what a great storyline "Set the Stars Alight" had.

My thoughts: What a beautifully written story.  I could really see what a amazing writer Amanda Dkyes is. She was able to intertwine two different time periods into one gorgeous story. You see the different personality of all the characters, which were all likeable.  They had several beautiful quotes but below is my all time favorite . It is so thought provoking and I feel it summed up a lot of the book.

Synopsis: The magic of the past comes alive each night for the family of a watchmaker. Lucy Claremont fascination with the high seas begins, which leads to her looking for a lost ship as a adult. Here childhood friend Dashel and his knowledge of stars was needed to solve a puzzle.  Two hundred years earlier there are three lives that are altered when a shepherd rescues the son of a admiral. As they grow they are forever changed.

My favorite quote: "In a world as dark as ours, we --- that is, people ---- forget how to see the light. So we remind them by telling the truth, fighting the dark, pay attention ... setting the stars alight.  There are thinks shining brightly all along, if we will notice."

Recommendation: I will great love to share this book on several social media sites and friends.

Rating: I give this book a rating of a 5 out of 5

 "Flying In Love" by Chalon Linton

What can I say about this book? I think amazing covers it!  Chalon Linton knows how to write a clean contemporary romance.  This is the first book by this author that I've read and I am looking forward to the next book.

Synopsis: Paige Hall happy ending may just be in sight. She has been dating her boyfriend for month's and she feels confident their relationship is going on the right direction until she catches him kissing another woman. Paige a speech therapist, puts everything into her work and gave up on men.  Till she ran into Jake Summers, a military pilot.

My thoughts: You might remember what your first love was like. You find your life revolving around that person. Sometimes it's your happily ever after and sometimes it's not. I felt the pain that Paige was going through and the development of a new, fresh relationship with Jake. "Flying in Love" has all the makings of a great book!  It pulled me in from the very first age. I love all the characters and how they develop in the book.  Some parts of the story made me cry, but the major made me laugh.

Rating: I give this book a 5 stars

I will love to recommend this book to family, friends and through social media.

What can happen when you read lips!

Dead Silence

By

Robin Caroll

What a great suspense novel. This is the first book by Robin Caroll I've read and I would love to read more.

 Dead Silence is a great story. The character's are very likable and reading was easy to follow. "Dead Silence" is a fast read. The story got me hooked on the first chapter.

The story is about  Elisa Carmichael, a court sign language interpreter, who happens to read the lips of two guy's talking about killing a state Senator.  She was unable to report information to the FBI till the next day, which was to late.  The Senator happened to be her mother in law. What do you do? Turn to FBI agents or try to solve on you own. Then there's the possibility to use both. Read "Dead Silence" to see what is the outcome of this murder.

I recommend this to anyone who love a great suspense novel.
