A Cowboy for Keeps by Jody Hedlund
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WOW! This book is so full of romance you better have a fainting couch handy! I was really excited to see Jody had written a western (especially since I have lived on a ranch my whole life and really enjoy reading westerns) and while some of the terms used for the cattle didn't always make sense to me this was a nice western read. There were, I felt, a few lulls in pace at times, and I have learned that there are some scenes Jody writes that can get a little too graphic for my tastes. Though I am getting to where I can recognize them and I skimmed through that part, and I was happy there was just one scene that I personally would have preferred cut a little shorter and not filled with so many details. All in all the chemistry between these to left things smoldering through the story and I did enjoy the Faith scenes of learning to stop running away and giving up when things get tough and that we aren't burdens to The Lord in fact we are supposed to cast our burdens on The Lord. He welcomes us with open arms! And I truly enjoyed how everything ended with the antagonist as well as the surprise twist! The ending of this one left me wanting more as it slipped of into a cliff hanger.

Review: At Love's Command

At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

FANTASTIC READ! WOW what a great beginning to a brand new series! I LOVE these characters! God led, nobel, and tough! Just like how I love my cowboys! ;) LOL! But the women in this story don't disappoint either! <3 Now I usually don't read stories that have a doctor thread, I have found most of them to be filled with far too much gory details for my liking. But since I absolutely LOVE Karen as one of my favorite authors I thought I would give it a shot, and boy howdy I am SO happy I did! I truly enjoyed every aspect of this read including the medical parts! Threaded with just enough details and never once touched by gore I came to love Dr. Jo as a medical physician, a Christian, and an over all entertaining character! Throw in the male lead who is brave, strong yet sweet, smart and tough and you've got a recipe for a fantastic read! But it doesn't end there! All of the other sub characters are just as good if not better than Matthew and Jo! I can not wait for them to get their own stories! I also absolutely LOVE how much scripture is woven into these pages amidst all the adventure and action! I just can not say too many great things about this book! It's a must read in my personal opinion and I am excitedly awaiting more!

Review: When You Are Near

When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WOW! What a read! I am left on the edge of my seat LONGING for more! I LOVE trick riding and these wild west shows so this was a must read for me! Though I will say that some of the tricks were a little hard to picture in my mind while reading. But I love the characters, though it took me a little while to like the leading male I immediately loved the mama as well as the other leading ladies and gentlemen, and the Faith scenes are wonderful! I could read them again and again! The overall suspense woven through the plot kept the pace nice and steady and me wanting to read more and more!

Review: The Bridge to Belle Island

The Bridge to Belle Island by Julie Klassen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great read! The mystery is filled with layer upon layer of twisty goodness with a nice pace, and while I was able to figure things out before the characters, many things kept me guessing up to the end! It felt like watching a really good episode of Murder She Wrote, and it's one of those books I wouldn't mind reading again! The Faith messages are expressed beautifully and I completely loved these characters! If you're looking for a mystery try this one! ;)
