I first discovered Elizabeth White when I read her Texas Gatekeepers trilogy of romantic suspense novels. I enjoyed them and I’ve kept up with her work as she moved to Zondervan to write contemporaries and then recently began writing historicals (including the wonderful Redeeming Gabriel) for Steeple Hill. Her latest book takes readers behind the…
I find few enough romances set in colonial times or during the Revolution, so finding a book not only taking place during the Revolutionary War, but also set against the western frontier battles completely surprised me. As I flipped through Jamie Carie’s Wind Dancer and saw that it dealt with the campaigns of George Rogers…
I enjoyed several of the books in Hannah Alexander’s Hideaway series, so I was excited to try the first book in this new one. In A Killing Frost, the husband and wife team writing as Hannah Alexander combine their medical knowledge for a fast-paced suspense thrill ride that had me glued to the pages. Though…
The word I would use to describe Kathleen Morgan’s Christmas inspirational romance, One Perfect Gift, is “thin.” It’s a hardcover book, but a most slender volume – only 152 pages of real story; which doesn’t leave a whole lot of page space for either romantic plot or Christmas message. What you end up getting is…
I adore stories in which lovers get a second chance at finding their way to one another. With that in mind, I gladly picked up The Dove expecting a wonderful story of young lovers separated and then given a second chance together. Unfortunately, the petulant behavior of the hero and a heroine far too modern…
As Kill Me if You Can opens, we learn that home renovator Tish Amble has returned to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for her newest job – the cabin where she spent part of her childhood. The narrator takes the reader on a fascinating journey in which the mysteries of Tish’s past start creeping into…
As a newcomer to the romance’s inspirational sub-genre, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I picked up The Love Song. What I found was a sweet story with good characters, but some imperfections in the writing. Clair O’Neal had a neglected childhood, with no friends, or affection from her father. Now, as a…
Lady of Milkweed Manor is a debut book for new author Julie Klassen. It’s a sweet story and a promising start. A vicar’s daughter from a small English town, Charlotte Lamb is kicked out of her house and cut off from her family when she commits the ultimate societal sin: Becoming pregnant without being married….
Wedding Bell Blues is the first book in a new inspirational imprint by Avon and is the first in a series called The Piper Cove Chronicles. Nothing in Windsor’s book particularly grabbed me, making it a less than auspicious launch. That’s not to say that it was a bad story, but it wasn’t great either….
The hero and heroine in Yellow Rose Bride have a long and interesting history, which makes this inspirational romance quite touching. I enjoy inspirational historicals like Lori Copeland’s because they usually lack the contrived conflict and drama that occasionally occurs in other romances, especially historicals. Vonnie Taylor is the cherished adopted daughter of Teague and…
