Love Letters ~ Beverly Lewis

I always enjoy Beverly's books, but this one is very different from her other Amish stories.  Beverly writes this book in a style that is very interesting and keeps your attention to the very end.  I usually can predict her writings, however, this story was different and kept me reading to find out what was going to happen.  As usual settings the book does take place in Amish country of Brownstown, PA in the 1960's era.  The book is centered on the main character, Marlene who stays with her grandmother and that is where your reading adventure will begin. 

I would recommend this to all of Beverly's fans, those that enjoy Amish stories and anyone that wants to read a book that will touch your heart.
It is a book that will take a few chapters to grab your attention, but once you get going you will want to keep reading.  Great read for any age.

Stuck Together ~ Mary Connealy

This is the 3rd book in the Trouble in Texas series.  I did not read book 1 or 2 and found this book seems to start where book 2 left off.  It is a story about Tina and Vince taking place in the western days.  I had a hard time reading this book as it seemed slow to me, maybe it was because I hadn't read book 1or 2 and did not feel for the characters yet.  Tina has her problems and a big personality as Vince has a dysfunctional family issues also.  I found the drama and the western setting not my type of book.

I could recommend this to those that like westerns and reading series in the correct order.  I think if you start at book 1 you will be more interested in each book.  I found this book good, but not as much keeping my attention.

Persecuted ~ Robin Parrish

As this book is about drama, suspense and politics all wrapped up in one.  This is the first book I have read from Robin Parrish and I truly enjoyed it.  If you enjoy John Grisham and the suspense stories of the issues in today's world then this book is for you.  The main character John Luther, a very popular evangelist and a family man gets involved with politics and his faith in GOD.  When he will not turn against his beliefs and GOD, he has to go on the run to clear his name and make it right.  This is a page turner that you won't want to put down.

I would recommend this to those that enjoy a great suspense book that you just have to keep reading.  There is no fluffy about this book, it could happen in today's world.  This would be a great book for a men's book club as it has all the drama that men tend to like.  It also has great conversation questions in the back of the book.... check this book out.  Great book to give dad as a gift.

A Match of Wits ~ JenTurano

This is the book # 4 in the Ladies of Distinction series.  This is a love story that takes you back into time, 1883 time period.  It is about Agatha and Zayne and their love/hate relationship.   Agatha is a hard nosed reporter for the New York Tribune and is required to travel for her job.  In her travels she runs into Zayne after not seeing each other for years.  She realizes that she may still have feelings for Zayne.  Zayne resents Agatha trying to take him back home with her.  Will he go or stay in the world he has created for himself? 

I would recommend this story for anyone that wants a fun read, it has humor, friendship, love and an adventure to go back into time.  It is a great afternoon read on a summers day.  I really enjoyed this book and would be interested to go back and read the first books in the series.

The Chase ~ Kyle and Kelsey Kupecky

This book is about teen relationships and how finding love is all about your love for God and His will in your life.  I found this book to be for those teens that are wondering in life what is real love?  I found it for a very young generation and those that are seeking in life. As each chapter covers the hard situations and daily feelings of finding that true love.

I would recommend this book for teens and young adults seeking God's love in today's world.  It would be a great new beginnings teen bible study class or for parents and their teens to read together and discuss questions.

Another Way Home ~ Deborah Raney

This is book 3 in the Chicory Inn series.  The story in this book gives you a lesson of just how GOD works for the good in your life.  During reading this book it will twist and turn right to the very end and then it all makes sense.  In this book we are told of the story of Dallas and Daene and how much they have been trying to have a child.  Along with the everyday challenges of a few others in their lives.

I would recommend this to those that have been reading this series, as it is just as good as the others 2 in the series.  This is a good continue book, but can be read as a stand alone.  It does have Group discussion questions in the end, for those in book groups or small study groups.  It also contains a few chapters for the next book in the series.... I can't wait.....

Keeping Christmas ~ Dan Walsh

This book is about having empty nest syndrome and depression during the holiday season.  The story takes place in Mt. Dora, FL and is about Judith not having her children home for Thanksgiving or Christmas; due to them living out of state and unable to afford coming home.  Her husband, Stan tries to get her to come out of the depression and having her realize she needs to find a new normal and that change is ok in life.  The journey touches what a lot of people struggle with during the Holidays. 

I would recommend this to anyone that wants a good quick read.  It keeps your attention by getting you attached to the characters and is very detailed with the feelings of feeling depressed and not knowing how to deal with the sadness.  It is a great read for any age and would be a great Hallmark movie.
