Second Chance in Dry Creek by Janet Tronstad, Book Review

Image
Blurb from the book: Her neighbors in Dry Creek, Montana, think Gracie Stone is rebuilding her life just fine on the family ranch. But Calen Gray knows better. Foreman of nearby Elkton Ranch, Calen has been sweet on Gracie half their lives. But harrowing circumstances kept them apart—and sent Gracie away. Now she's back, barely holding her head up, and refusing to believe she has a second chance at happiness. With faith, love and the gentle airing of long-held secrets, Calen just might find a way to bring back her smile—forever. My Review: Second Chance in Dry Creek is all about Gracie Stone trying to rebuild her life in the town she once lived in before she was arrested.  This Christian novel is all about second chances and starting over again.  Gracie has to decide if she can learn to trust again....her neighbors, her friends, and most of all her heart.  I have not read the other books in this series and it was easy to understand what the book was about.  Th

Blurb: Everyone knows how all those fairy tales go. The princess gets beautiful, nabs her prince, falls instantly in love, lives happily ever after and leaves her evil stepsisters in the dust. But what happens when you’re the ugly stepsister and your obnoxiously perfect—read pretty, smart, and, worst of all, sickeningly nice—stepsister is dating the charming, tall, devastatingly handsome guy you’ve had a thing for since you were nine years old? Quirky, artistic and snarky Mattie Lowe does not lead a charmed life. Her mother is constantly belittling her on Skype.

The Ice Captain's Daughter by S. G. Rogers, Book Review

Image
Blurb from the novella:   The daughter of a wealthy ice merchant, Miss Jillian Roring intends to marry for love. En route to her first Season in London, however, a failed kidnapping sends her into the arms of the most jaded bachelor in England. When Logan and Jillian unwittingly violate the rigid rules of propriety in Victorian-era England, he is obliged to make her an offer of marriage. Because she aspires to be more than an obligation, Jillian refuses the match. Logan follows her to London to woo her properly, but his scheming ex-fiancée has other plans. Can Logan convince Jillian that his love for her is real or will the cruel gossip and sharp tongues of London society tear their budding relationship apart? My Review: Let me start by saying that this cover is GORGEOUS!!!  That alone made me want to read the book, but the title caught my attention also!  So I sat down to read The Ice Captain's Daughter and was not disappointed!  S. G. Rogers did a beaut

Dangerous Favor by Joyce DiPastena, Book Review

Image
Blurb from the book: Her father has been accused of stealing from the king, an allegation that has reduced her family to poverty. She has one chance to find and marry a man who can help her prove her father's innocence. Lord Therri, heir to a rich barony, has the wealth and connections Mathilde needs to delve into the mysteries of her father's past. Furthermore, Therri embodies all her romantic dreams. Etienne, the younger son of a disgraced family, has neither wealth nor connections, but is smitten with Mathilde at a glance. She finds the knight intriguing, but believes he is only out to seduce her. While she seeks for a way to win Therri's attention, Etienne tricks her into granting him her favor-an embroidered white ribbon-for a tournament, setting in motion a dangerous chain reaction of events. Can Etienne save Mathilde from a nightmare from her past and prove himself the true hero of her dreams? My Review: Wow, this is my FAVORITE book by Joy

Image
Blurb from the book: Love and suspense with a dash of Southern Gothic.... Rachel Sevier, a thirty-two year old inventory specialist, travels to Wynnedower Mansion in Virginia to find her brother who has stopped returning her calls. Instead, she finds Jack Wynne, the mansion’s bad-tempered owner. He isn’t happy to meet her. When her brother took off without notice, he left Jack in a lurch. Jack has his own plans. He’s tired of being responsible for everyone and everything. He wants to shake those obligations, including the old mansion. The last thing he needs is another complication, but he allows Rachel to stay while she waits for her brother to return. At Wynnedower, Rachel becomes curious about the house and its owner. If rumors are true, the means to save Wynnedower Mansion from demolition are hidden within its walls, but the other inhabitants of Wynnedower have agendas, too. Not only may Wynnedower’s treasure be stolen, but also the life of its arrogant maste

Gentry's Gallery of Angels by Stephy Smith

Image
Blurb from the novella: Amanda Gentry is engaged to Nicolas Tandy Harper. They're set to marry on Christmas Eve. When her Grandmother Izella Sanders fades into a coma, everything spirals out of control. Amanda takes on the responsibility to ensure all the holiday celebrations are met, even if it's at the expense of her own wedding. My Review: This novella is an inspirational western romance.  I love westerns!  Horses, cowboys, you get the picture!  This particular novella is about a girl named Amanda who is engaged to Nicolas, the owner of the store in town.  There is your typical villian, who wants Amanda, and harasses her every chance he gets.  Meanwhile, Amanda's grandma takes ill and she doesn't know how she can keep it all together.  While I enjoyed this story, I found that I kept waiting for something big to happen and it never did.  It was pretty anti-climatic for me.  Other than that, it was a quick afternoon read that was okay.  Three stars o

The Yielding (Age of Faith #2) by Tamara Leigh, Book Review

Image
Blurb from the book: The Unveiling, the first book in the Age of Faith series, introduced readers to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry’s battle for England’s throne in 1153. Now, four years later, Henry wears the crown, but the Wulfriths are no less defiant—and no more amenable to forging alliances through king-decreed marriage. SHE HAD KILLED A MAN. OR SO IT WAS SAID… Convent-bound Lady Beatrix Wulfrith is determined to aid her sister in escaping marriage to their family’s enemy. Unaware of the sacrifice that awaits her, she leads their pursuers astray only to meet with an accident that forever alters her destiny and takes the life of a young knight whose brother vows he will not rest until the lady is brought to justice. Lord Michael D’Arci is a warrior and a womanizer whose foul mouth and impatience bode ill for all who trespass against him. Falsely accused of ravishment years earlier, he refuses to believe Lady Beatrix’s accusations against hi
