A Truth Revealed by Tracie Peterson

Quite the interesting story. Laura had been away at several boarding schools since her mother died. She's of age now and returns to her father's house in Cheyenne. They're very wealthy. She's been away so long that she really doesn't know her father. Will has been called to Cheyenne to be a preacher to the Indians. Events take place that keep both of them in danger, but they've both become deep friends with the key characters from previous books and both have a strong foundation in faith. Terrible tragedies happen and the support of their friends and their faith see them through. Hard to put down as what's hidden becomes known. Excellent read.

Written on the Wind by Elizabeth Camden

If you read before you go to sleep, plan on going to bed earlier. This is hard to put down. I fell in love with Dimitri and Natalia right away. Both are easy to picture and identify with. At first, they meet and begin to know one another by telegraph while building the trans-Siberian railway. He is in Russia directing the construction, she is in New York at her father's bank overseeing the project. Until the Russians massacred people along the border with China, people who were entitled to be there by Charter. When Dimitri witnesses it and refuses to participate in killing innocent people, he is stripped of his land and title and sent to a Siberian prison. His and Natalia's relationship is a bit complicated, but you can't help but invest your heart in their relationship and admire them both. Excellent read.

Beyond the Lavender Fields by Arlem Hawks

1792 early in French history, shortly after the revolution, there was another uprising in Paris that physically removed the king. It pulled revolutionaries from all over the country, including Marseilles where this story is set. Giles works in a soap factory and is friends with the owner's son. They are fellow revolutionaries with his brother and are major flirts as well as dedicated to the cause. His employer is a monarchist, although he keeps it low key. The employer's daughter returns home since it is becoming unsafe in Paris. She does not believe this revolutionary movement is good since there is so much violence and killing. One of the mottos is that they are ridding the country of impure blood - one similar to what Hitler would promote many years later. She is beautiful and a strong woman, easily putting Giles to shame when he tries to kiss her on a dare. As the story moves along, they try to be friends, each learning from the other. The situation becomes more and more dangerous. Interesting story and characters, looking into different perspectives of this time in history and what the people were trying to accomplish as well as just plain live. Gives you depth of feeling from both sides. The danger and story become more fast paced, as does their relationship. Pulls on the heart strings! I'm hoping there is another to follow.
