A Place to Belong: Josephine’s Story : A Shumard Oak Bend Companion Christmas Novella (Discerning God’s Best) by Heidi Gray McGill

 

Josephine and Jeremiah are both broken and haven't known love or kindness from others as they've grown up. Both have been ready to cut and run for some time. This is the loveliest story of each of their journeys to wholeness and strength. The townspeople weren't the most accepting of either of them, yet they learned to grow and stand their own ground. Wonderful read! I highly recommend this book.

I received a complimentary book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Where Her Heart Lies by Carolyn Twede Frank

 

Excellent read. I'm a new fan, even though this isn't the first in the series. Celeste has been sent East to finishing school but returns home to Colorado and her parents after 5 years, because she was asked to leave. The finishing didn't stick. But she liked most of the things in her life from before, including Logan. He is a few years older, and hardly recognizes now her since she's not a little kid anymore. They had been the best of friends before. He's been trying to prove himself and live on his own for many years. He doesn't feel he's good enough for her, so even when they get close, he retreats. Another of her friends come to town from back east, looking to court her. Eventually this wakes Logan up, and the two take turns courting her. This path for them is quite entertaining as they evolve and realize what is really important. Logan has opportunities that open up for him, then messes it all up. Keeps you interested to the very end. Pulls at your heart strings all through the story. Endearing characters, even Logan's horse! Isn't that the most gorgeous cover too?

I received this book free from the publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
