Surviving Henry

This was a hilarious and adorable book! I don't usually like or read animal books, they aren't generally the genre that I enjoy. However I thought this book was fantastic. The stories that Erin Young shared were quite funny and very enjoyable! There were plenty of moments during the book where I would read portions to my son. He loves animal books and really enjoyed the parts I read to him! Plus I loved that there were lessons within this book that the author made it easy to pick up on. I love that even through all the disasters we can see the unconditional love within this puppy and this family.
I think this is a fantastic lesson that many of us can learn, and fortunately we can learn that through this book rather than experience our own boxer puppy disasters!!
I would highly recommend this book, its an excellent family read, and I think would be enjoyed by many different ages!

Blind Trust

I quite enjoyed this book by Sandra Orchard, this was my first time reading one of her books, and upon checking out her Author page, I found that there is another book in this series! So I'm very excited to hunt it down and give it a read!!
In this book, Kate Adams finds herself in the midst of an investigation after she is caught with counterfeit money from her elderly neighbor. As she works to try and prove her innocence (As well as her neighbors) she finds herself caught up in something much bigger than she expected.  With many twists and turns in this book, it is guaranteed to keep you on your toes. I was surprised at many points in the books, where I thought I'd figured out what was going on, only to be surprised with a new twist! The book was extremely hard to put down, it was so full of suspense that it kept my attention the entire time I was reading it!
Now that I've had the pleasure of reading a book by Sandra Orchard, I will be keeping my eye out for more from her! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!!

Miracle in a Dry Season

This is one of my favorite books that I've had the pleasure of reading, at the start of the book, I was sure that I wasn't going to like it! I didn't like the attitude of the main character Casewell Phillips, he really rubbed me the wrong way with his judgments and words! However as the book went on, you could see how God was working in his life and teaching him about forgiveness, love, mercy, and grace.
Perla Long arrives in town to visit with her Aunt and Uncle in order to get away from problems in her own home town. As a drought hits the town however, Perla's giftings from God become more noticable, and the town doesn't know how to handle or understand it. She's faced with judgements and struggles within the town and Casewell is faced with his own faith as he works to understand this woman God has placed in his path.
This book was excellent, I absolutely loved it! Its one of those books that will go straight to the top of my book shelf to be read over and over again!!

Truth Be Told

Carol Cox is another author who I've had the pleasure of reading her books before, so I knew ahead of time that the chances of this being fantastic were pretty high!
We start the book off by meeting Amelia Wagner, who is taking over her father's newspaper. As she continues to carry on the day to day working and reporting of the paper she begins to feel pressured by a company that doesn't appreciate the articles her father has written about them. Amelia begins to feel a struggle between the pressure of these people and her commitment and integrity of the paper to print only the truth. As she dives in to research and find out the story herself she is faced with contrasting emotions about the man assigned (by the mentioned company) to keep an eye on her!
I found this book pretty entertaining, it had enough twists in it to keep me eager to read on, and the characters were quite well written! It was easy to sympathize with them and relate to them as well!
I would highly recommend this book, especially if you enjoy historical christian romances! (even if you don't, this book is well written enough that you'll still enjoy it!)

With Every Breath

I have to start by saying how much I loved this book, I love books with strong female characters who don't fall apart and simper over a man. Plus I love that while Camden did make her female character a very strong woman, she didn't take away the emotional personal part of her. So I really did appreciate how well the main Character Kate was written!
I've read a couple of Elizabeth Camden's books so far, and they are always among my favorites! This book did not disappoint!! Kate Livingston, after having a great disappointment, moved on with life and forgot all about her rival Trevor until she is offered a job by him. What starts out as simply a chance to get ahead and a challenge she could face, moves into a deeper understanding of her rival and precarious friendship with him as well. With both characters being strong willed and opinionated, they book play quite well off of each other. I loved the banter between the characters, it was well written and came across as very natural!
In all, I absolutely loved this book, it had a fantastic flow, and was very hard to put down! The characters were quite likable and realistic, and so well written that you felt like you knew them!
I highly recommend this book!!
