MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK Jeanette’s Gift is the last book of the Five Book Series, The Shenandoah Brides. Twenty-nine year Jeanette Williams just knows God has forgotten about her when it comes to romance. All of her sisters and beautiful and happily married, and she is the plain one that no man wants. Not being married, she was hired as the school teacher, and she loved her students. This is all her life would be, and she has accepted this as her calling in life. But is it? I love, love, love this story. Blossom Turner gives her readers another amazing book to read. I have to say I connected with Jeanette more than I have connected with any character in a very long while. She kind of reminds me of myself growing into my teenage years because I have always felt like the plain one. Still do sometimes. ⭐���Please read the rest of my review in comments. #christianfiction #christian #christianfictionofinstagram #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CkS3FBFuZhN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK Wow! Just Wow! Hope Beyond the Waves is an absolute amazing read! Heidi Chiavaroli digs deep into the most horrific situations in this dual timeline and writes a story that gripped my heart from the beginning and will stay with me for a long while. Emily and Atta are two young ladies, same family, different generations who loose their home and family by being carted off to the unknown because of family secrets that can no way show their ugly faces within the so called perfect families of these two young ladies. No way can these girls stay in their homes being exposed and left in an unclean state. In 1993 Emily lives with her grandmother to avoid trouble with her father, and in 1916 Atta suffers so much hurt, but is no longer wanted in her home. Will these two girls find the peace and contentment they need during this horrific time in their life? #christianfiction #christian #christianfictionofinstagram #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #cleanromance #christianromance #christianinstagramreads #christianfictionblogger #christianfictionreaders #christianromanceauthors #christianromanceauthor #historicalfiction #historicalromance #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbsnWpL6O_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK 🌟It’s been a while since I read a Penny Zeller book and I was so glad to be able to read and review this one. Thad Alexander Evanson and Emilie Crawford Wheeler both had side by side Ranches, but they have never met. Until one day in town when Thad bumped into Emilie, knocking her prize hat to the grown, never to be worn again because of its condition. Why oh why hadn’t Thad been watching the boardwalk instead of that new shinny Model T he wanted so bad, because now he has to buy this pretty lady a new hat. Emilie was frustrated at herself because now her beautiful new hat was ruined. I’ve always loved the humor in Zeller’s books, and this one is no different. From Emilie’s anger about the Rancher next door and his cows trampling her prize flowers to Thads trips to Miss Julia Mathilda’s Fine Dresses to replace Emilie’s hat, Penny Zeller had me chuckling many times. I did get frustrated at Emilie though because she didn’t make it a priority to go meet the neighbor and confront him. Instead she was easy to assume a ranch hand was the owner. 🌟Please read the rest of my review in comments. 🌟#christianfiction #christian  #christianfictionofinstagram  #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #cleanromance #christianromance #christianinstagramreads #christianfictionblogger #christianfictionreaders #christianromanceauthors #christianromanceauthor #historicalfiction #historicalromance #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVoKqou-Xq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK 🌟All That is Hidden by Laura DeNooyer-Moore is a story told through the eyes of Ten year old Tina Hamilton. Set in the Appalachian Mountains during 1968 is a fun time for me to hear all of the happenings in this small town, and we get a glimpse of family and a different kind of fun because kids back then were doing activities outside such as fishing, running around with friends and usually getting into trouble. We have made many trips to the area and as I read about the lifestyle, food, young boys and their ways. But here in this book you will find secrets, and lots of them. I did however find several places in the first several parts of the book that was slow and difficult to connect to the characters. But it got better. 🌟Please continue to read my review in the comments! #allthatishidden #lauradenooyer #lauradenooyermoore #lighthousepublishing #christianfiction #christian  #christianfictionofinstagram  #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #cleanromance #christianromance #christianinstagramreads #christianfictionblogger #christianfictionreaders #christianromanceauthors #christianromanceauthor #historicalfiction #historicalromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUXDDFO59s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK  Cara Putman is one of my favorite authors  and I always enjoy reviewing her books. This one gripped my heart from the beginning and wouldn’t let go. I had a lot of fun reading about 1942 Hollywood and recognizing some actors names from back in the day. Rosemary was not one of them of course, and in the story she didn’t make it happen of being a big famous star like she wanted. Rosemary’s story did not end well, which is so sad. I felt bad for Audra having to go and try to fund who killed her sister. Audra’s journey brought a lot of mystery and details to the story that makes it more believable. The characters were fabulous and I enjoyed getting to know them so much. Robert is a favorite, he was a sweetheart, I thought. The Hollywood Victory Caravan was a new one for me. I enjoyed reading about the Caravan and about the first Hollywood stars who used this train. It is a nice and interesting addition to the story. I always enjoy learning about things I’ve never heard of such as this. I think the author does a fabulous job weaving it into the story. As always, this story has so much more than I could ever touch on, so you need to read the book to enjoy it all and get answers. I’d you enjoy a good clean mystery, this is one you will want to read. I have happy to give Stars in the Night by Cara Putman Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.  #historical #christianfiction #christian #christianfictionofinstagram #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #cleanromance #christianromance #christianinstagramreads #christianfictionblogger #christianfictionreaders #christianromanceauthors #christianromanceauthor #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CfPVkoAuWfD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Read my review of this fantastic WWII novel! A Promise Engraved is another book in the Doors of the Past series from Barbour Books. I have enjoyed the books so far in this series and I look forward to others in the future. This one is a split time story, which I enjoyed do much. Author Liz Tolsma’s writing is phenomenal and the transition from one time period to another goes really smoothly, which is a must in these type stories. The story goes from 1836 when San Antonio, Texas is going through intense times while the Battle of the Alamo is going full swing. I really enjoyed learning about the Alamo, a subject I knew hardly anything about. Tolsma does an exceptional job of research and it shows in so many vivid details. The characters, both historical and current time are so well created and develop accurately throughout the story. If you love this type stories, you will love this one. And if you enjoy historical reads, I think you will especially enjoy the historical part here. This is such an awesome read and I gladly give it Five Stars. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.

I haven’t read a Laura Frantz book for a while so I was more than thrilled with the chance to read A Heart Adrift. The amazing book cover drew me in from the beginning. Isn’t it just stunning? And now for the story. Set in 1755 colonial York, Va., Chocolatier Esmée Shaw runs her mom’s Chocolate shop. I love her character because she has such a caring personality, always willing to help those in need. And always thinking of her old fame Henri and wonder if she will ever see him again. Will the war, the distance and the years keep the two apart forever? Esmée is just the sweetest. I enjoyed getting to know her so much, and oh my, all that Chocolate! I could literally smell the chocolate as I read this book. Henri had to grow on me somewhat, but I found that the two are just perfect together. The attention to vivid details takes this book to a different level. Author Laura Frantz does a fantastic job of research as well as creating wonderful characters and writing a story her readers will not soon forget. I can’t seem to get Esmée and Henri off my mind. I am sure I will be reading this one again in the near future. I think anyone who enjoys a good clean historical fiction with elements of faith running through will love this book. A Hearts Adrift by Laura Frantz deserves Five Stars from me.  This book was provided courtesy of Revell through Interviews & Reviews for my honest opinion. #laurafrantz #historicalfiction #christianfiction #christian  #christianfictionofinstagram  #instagramchristianbookreviews #instagramchristianbloggers #instagramchristianwriters #christianfictionblogger #cleanbookstoread #cleanromance #christianromance #christianinstagramreads #christianfictionblogger #christianfictionreaders #christianromanceauthors #christianromanceauthor #historicalfiction #historicalromance #historicalchristianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXxhefIOSa/?utm_medium=tumblr

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK  I usually don’t go for Billionaire stories, but I am glad I choose this one. I enjoyed Zara and Ryan’s story so much. Author Meghann Whistler does an Amazing job creating characters that are so loveable, realistic and friendly. It was so entertaining to watch them develop as the story unfolds. Zara is in Vermont with her mom to help her work off her bucket list before cancer finally takes its toll on her. Ryan is there to rest and learn to deal with his illness. The two wasn’t looking for love, especially not with each other but as circumstances keep throwing them together, they started having feelings for each other, against both their wills, I should say. I found it fun watching them interact with each other, sometimes laughing at their ways.  All of the characters were homey and so nice and friendly. Zara’s mom was a sweetheart and I love the attention she gets from Ryan. The Billionaire’s Secret is a sweet contemporary story that you will love if you enjoy a good clean Christian romance. This one is Five Stars for me. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone.
