Love and War - just what I needed to read about marriage

Don't be scared off by the title! Love and War by John and Stasi Eldredge is out just in time for Valentine's Day. And what else could Love and War be about other than marriage! I mean where else do the terms love and war work so well together? lol. I love my marriage, but sometimes you want to call war because of disagreements. I'll admit I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book. We've (Mr. C & I) been together for a long time, so I've read a lot of marriage counselling books over the years. But to my surprise I was sobbing by the the end of chapter one. Th...

Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition

Are you a fan of Jane Austen? I know I am ever since Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen in the movie, Becoming Jane. It's amazing how movies can bring an old book back to life. I remember hearing of this book when I was younger, but really didn't give it a second glance until the past year or so. It's a classic I know! SO, when I saw that there was a version coming out of this book I jumped at the chance to read it. It is the Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition put out by Bethany House. I had to laugh because I brought this book with to the dentist the other day and I had ...

a new publisher,a new book & new giveaway! :)

So I found a new publisher! Their name is Revival Nation Publishing. I am always happy to see Christian publishers coming up, and as always I'm curious as to what they're putting out! I contacted the publisher and got a copy of a few books that I'm excited to read! I also recieved some copies to share with my readers, which I'm thrilled about! So this month's giveaway will be for a children's book! Which I'm quite thrilled about because what a better way to encourage our children is to read to them and to have great books for them to read from! So onto the book! Jellybean b...

Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana!

LoveFindsYousm Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie, Montana!

by Ocieanna Fleiss and Tricia Goyer

What is it about:

Love Finds You in Lonesome Prairie Montana is a historical romance that takes place in 1889. Julia takes an orphan train to deliver girls from her local orphanage to new families after their orphanage has been closed down. Her final stop is Montana, but learns she isn’t heading home to New York as she was only given a one way ticket to stay in Lonesome Prairie, with the intent to be married to an old miner who doesn’t seem to take no for an answer!

Frustrated by her situation Julia tries to endure her situation and figure out a way to get back home, but when she meets the local parson she can’t seem to get him out of her mind — and he’s taken a vow to live a single life.

What does God have planned for Julia, stuck in the middle of no where?

My thoughts on this book:

Very sweet! This is how I like a Christian romance novel to be!

What do I mean by that? Well, it’s not just a historical romance novel–It’s meant for Christians and it contains a lot of biblical references that fit into the story nicely. It’s clean and the smut and stuff found in regular romance isn’t there– BUT it has a lot of passion in it. It leaves us with a great story line and a delicious yet wholesome romance!

I enjoyed how Goyer and Fleiss show the heart – intent of their characters. Julia is lovable and yet has her own little flaws and quirks that make her down to earth. In some ways a little cheesy (but most good romance novels have that, don’t they? lol) The story is inviting and I caught myself more than once wishing that I could have friends like that, or be a part of a community like that. I’ll even admit to a few out loud giggles and big grins on my face! Like when she tells her friend Miriam that she helped in the birthing process before (even if it was with an animal instead of a human lol).

Being a prairie girl myself it was easy to get lost in the past of this story! I deem this book an inviting and delicious morsel for all my history romance loving friends! It’s a fresh take on western romances! I gobbled it up in a few hours; it was that delicious!

I would gladly read another book in this series and am looking forward to see what’s next in the “Love Finds You” series.
