This week I crossed having read or listened to 68 books. You can see the whole list here on Goodreads. Because I read voraciously and because we are officially in summer, I thought I’d take the time today to share some books I’ve enjoyed. At the end you’ll also find links to two givewaways on my blog — one ends today!
In Honor’s Defense, Preach is the lone Hanger’s Horseman who hasn’t found a home. He’s settled on a wandering life until he finds a teenage boy and his aunt who need him. Damaris just wants to be useful and create a family with her orphaned nephew. What she doesn’t expect is to fall into the middle of a mystery that includes the allegation her brother was murdered. This book has all of the elements of a Karen Witemeyer story: strong characters, a rich plot, and a slow burn romance. Highly recommend.
Do you love a story where the characters are broken and searching for redemption –even if they don’t know it? In To Win a Prince, Ekon doens’t know how much he needs to be redeemed. And Iris moves from open-hearted to guarded and has to chose to follow God’s sovereignty. Add a moment of the prodigal story, and a heavy does of attraction, and this is a book I enjoyed thoroughly. Perfect for readers who love Rachel Hauck’s spiritual fairytales.
Sarah Sundin’s novels are always winners, and Until Leaves Fall in Paris was one of my favorites. A compelling story that quickly pulled me into its pages with great characterization and a setting I could love. Paris. WWII. Books. Ballet. A star-crossed romance. A child who needs protecting. Wonderful writing.
There was something about Kelli Stuart’s The Master Craftsman that pulled at me from thefirst time I saw the cover. There’s something about the mystery of the end of the Romanov era. There’s also something tantalizing aobut the what-ifs of history. This story blends both along with a dual time narrative that wraps a hunt for a possible unknown Faberge egg with the history of the Master Craftsman. It has moments of National Treasure blended with the poignancy of a black and white film. I really enjoyed this novel and think readers who love Kristy Cambron’s split time novels will also enjoy it.
Have you read any of these books?
Until Leaves Falling Paris & The Master Craftsman were both very re ent reads of mine. I also have a copy of In Honors Defense, but haven’t read the second book yet, so I am waiting on a copy of that ine.
