Book Description:
Love lost doesn’t mean love lost forever. Can unexpected romance deliver a second chance for two deserving widows?
Full of resolve, young widow Willow Peterson decides to pursue her dreams to be an artist as she settles into a new life in the growing mountain town of Cripple Creek. When she lands a job working as a portrait painter with handsome entrepreneur and photographer Trenton Van Der Veer, the road before Willow seems to be taking a better-than-anticipated turn.
With questions tugging at several hearts in town, including the Sinclair Sisters’ beloved Miss Hattie, change is traveling down the tracks as several unexpected visitors make their way out West. Will the new arrivals threaten the deep family bonds of the Sinclair sisters and the roots of love that are just taking hold for Willow?
Filled with the resonating questions that all women face, this romance awakens hope against grief, love against loss, and dreams against life’s unexpected turns.

My Opinion:
This is the first book I had read in the Sinclair Sister's series, and it made me want to read all the others! Mona wrapped everything up in a nice ending (which is what I love in a series!). The only thing that would have made this a 5 star for me is if it had wrapped up a little quicker. In my opinion the pace was wonderful until the end, then it seemed to drag a little. I love the characters (Especially Hattie and Willow), and I can't wait to go back and see how each of them end up becoming the people they are in Twice a Bride. I love love love the way Mona writes, her style and composition are fabulous! The way she writes about Faith and Salvation is so real and so wonderful!!!
A good book from an excellent writer!
My songs for this book are: "Blessed Assurance" Alan Jackson "You Set Me Free (Album Version)" by Michelle Branch (because Jesus sets us all FREE!) :)

Looks like a sweet read. :) I am an avid reader, but I haven't read much in Christian romantic fiction lately. I like your song choices. Very cool. I dropped by from Diane Estrella's blog. Your photos are awesome!

I said I'd pop over, and here I am. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a lovely book. The author is new to me.
It is just that! "Lovely"! I really enjoyed reading the end before the beginnings :) Mona was new to me also, but her writing is really good! I really enjoyed the way she described everything, but not with too much detail, and the way she strings words together :) It really is a good read!
DeleteThanks SO much for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon!
