Written On Her Heart by Paige Rion

March 24, 2015

Written On Her Heart by Paige Rion was a fun book to read. There are parts of this book that I didn’t enjoy but that is because I tend to get bored when you have love triangles going on. I have to say that I didn’t like Peter from the first time you meet him right up until the end. All the drama in this book kept me wanting to read but it also at times got old and I found myself just skimming the pages until the drama past. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series. If you love new adult novels than I am sure you will love this one. If you have read it what do you think of it?

About The Book

Andi Callaway has dreamed of becoming a published author her entire life.

Ford Delaney has always wanted nothing more than to escape his past.

An opportunity of a lifetime. This is what Andi finds when she returns home to Callaway Cove on summer break. A chance to work for her literary idol Ford Delaney is up for grabs, and she’s willing to risk everything–her boyfriend, her best friends, and her education–to get it.

She’s positive this will be the key to reaching her dreams. But the moment she begins working for the reclusive author, Andi realizes there’s more to him than just a name. As attraction builds between Andi and Ford, she begins to discover consequences must come hand-in-hand with something great–which could loosen control over her tightly wound life. And once romantic sparks fly, Andi’s other relationships start to crumble, Ford’s fame comes back to haunt him, and the heat they generate will either forge a powerful, enduring love or threaten everything she holds dear.

In this romance, Rion delivers drama and sexual tension without graphic love scenes. Written On Her Heart will delight romance fans of new adult, young adult, and contemporary romance readers, alike.

How To Catch a Prince by Rachel Hauck

March 19, 2015

How To Catch a Prince by Rachel Hauck is the third book in this series and I loved it just like I loved the first 2. If you didn’t catch my reviews of them you can click here and here to read them. This are like modern fairy tales and I love that about the books. I wasn’t a huge fan of Prince Stephen through most of the book because he struck me as coward but in the end he redeems himself. I loved Corina from the very first page right through the end of the book. Now this book is the third in the series but you don’t have to have read the other two to know what is going on in this book. I love all the stories of these books and if you love contemporary fiction and/or romance books than I know you will love this book!

About The Book

How to Catch a Prince (Zondervan, February 2015)

She caught her prince once. Can she catch him again?

American heiress Corina Del Rey’s life was devastated by war. Every thing she loved was lost. But after five years of grief, she’s shed her grave clothes and started over in the sunshine along the Florida coast.

But some things are not so easily forgotten. When a secret from her past confronts her face to face, she realizes she must follow her heart. Even if it cost her everything.

Prince Stephen of Brighton Kingdom is a former Royal Air Command lieutenant turned star rugby player, trying to make sense of his life after the devastation of war.
When his brother, King Nathaniel, discovers Stephen’s pre war secret, he must deal with an aspect of his life he longed to forget. But how can he do so without exposing the truth and breaching national security?

Yet, true love has a destiny all it’s own. As the cathedral bells peal through Cathedral City, Corina and Stephen must chose to answer the call of love on their hearts.
Or let it be lost forever?

A Hearts Disguise by Colleen Coble

March 17, 2015

A Hearts Disguise by Colleen Coble was a super cute story. I love that this book was short because I was able to read the whole book in about an hour or so and that is perfect for me lately. This is the first book in the series and I can’t wait for the rest of books to come out because this book kind of left me hanging and I hate when books do that. Now that being said it left me wanting to read the next book because I have to know what happens next to the characters in the book. I also love that this won’t be the last time that I see these characters because I did fall in love with them and I have to know what happens next to each of them. If you love historical fiction than I would for sure recommend this book to you.

About The Book

A Heart’s Disguise (Thomas Nelson, March 2015)

In the aftermath of the Civil War, a young woman searches for her lost love at the edge of the West.

But Ben Croftner does not take rejection lightly—and a single woman with a sick father makes an easy target. When Sarah is abducted by her treacherous fiancé, Rand finally comes to her aid . . . only to reveal that he has been posted at Fort Laramie, Wyoming, and intends to take her there as his wife.

But could Sarah leave her dying father’s side for the love of her life? And what plans are forming in the jealous heart of Ben Croftner?

The Promise of Palm Grove by Shelley Shepard Gray

March 13, 2015

The Promise of Palm Grove by Shelley Shepard Gray was an amazing book. I have read several books by this author and I have loved all of them. I have become a huge fan of Amish fiction and in my opinion Shelley writes the best books for this genre. I loved this book because it was a nice change from some of other books I have read before. I loved all of the characters in this book and it has made me want to go and visit Pinecraft because I want to experience what it would be like. Even though I know that this is a fiction book I still would love to experience the place where this story takes place. If you love Amish fiction than this is one that you have to read.

About The Book

The Promise of Palm Grove (Avon Inspire, January 2015)

Leona must decide: Does she follow the path set out before her? Or take a chance with only the promise of what could be to guide her?

A young Amish woman finds herself torn between the man she’s pledged to wed and the man her heart desires in this heartwarming story of chance, duty, and choice in the face of love—the first volume in the beloved New York Times bestselling author’s new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series.

Amish bride-to-be Leona is thrilled to be in Florida, on a mini-vacation in the pretty town of Pinecraft. Her girlfriends think she’s happy because she’s away from the stress of wedding planning. They have no idea that Leona’s real joy is in being away from her fiancé.

Edmund is a good man, and will make a decent husband . . . just not for Leona. The more time she spends with him and his overbearing ways, the less she wants to be his wife. Her cousins are sure Edmund is the right man for her—and their certainty makes Leona begin to doubt herself. But when a chance encounter with a wayward cat brings her face-to-face with a handsome, fun-loving Amish man named Zachary Kauffman, Leona’s faced with two vastly different futures.

About The Author

Shelley Shepard Gray is a two-time New York Times bestseller, a two-time USA Today bestseller, a finalist for the American Christian Fiction Writers prestigious Carol Award, and a two-time Holt Medallion winner. She lives in Southern Ohio, where she writes full-time, bakes too much, and can often be found walking her dachshunds on her town’s bike trail.

A Life of the Twentieth Century by Irene Even

March 11, 2015

A Life of the Twentieth Century by Irene Even was a great book. I loved most of things about this book and I love that even though it is a fiction book it is based on Irene’s life. Oh and the best part for me is that part of it takes place during WWII which everyone should know by now is my favorite time period. I also loved seeing what is was like growing up in europe and the things that she went through throughout her life. There were times for me where the amount of detail that was used bogged me down and I found I couldn’t focus on the story because of all the details that were used but even though those times I still didn’t want to stop reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen next to her. If you love historical fiction books than I would for sure recommend this book to you. It was also made better because it is based on her life so you know that the things she went through really happened.

About The Book

A Life of the Twentieth Century is the story of Aya, who lived through the loss of her parents before the age of 3. At the age of twelve she was sent to a boarding school in Budapest, that closed after one year, because the Nazi army marched into the city.

Aya was left totally alone to face the Nazi occupation, and to experience all the horrors of the war. She faced many life threatening situations, such as prison, bombardment or even the possibility of being executed on the spot, without really comprehending the gravity of it all.

The end of the war was supposed to mean liberation, the return of hope and freedom for most people, however it didn’t happen for Aya, who was part of a youth group on her way to Palestine. The destination of this youth group was to reach Italy and the Jewish Brigade. They crossed the Alps on foot from Austria to reach Italy.

As they reached their destination Aya met a soldier from the Jewish Brigade, who was supposed to be her Hero, her Saviour, but turned out to be the devil incarnate. From day one, this soldier of the Jewish brigade took control of Aya’s life when she was only 15 years old.

After divorce, destitute and once again alone, she had no direction and almost no hope, when from deep inside her a small voice said; go back to school. It took all her courage to apply to university, where she was accepted and after 5 year was granted a B.A. and a Diploma of Teaching. She spent the rest of her life teaching, and as she contemplated her life she said to herself that if she had had all the choices in the world, she would have chosen teaching.

About The Author

Irene Even was born in Hungary. As a child she lived through the Second World War, using false papers to survive. After the war, she immigrated to Palestine, lived in a Kibbutz, then later married and immigrated to Canada with her family. She returned to Israel to teach English and remained there for twenty-two years. Having written her memoir, A Life of the Twentieth Century, she now lives in retirement in Montreal.
