The Preacher's Bride

Review: The Preacher's Bride - Jody Hedlund - October 2010

Sister Elizabeth Whitford felt that her life was worth more in God than everyone treated her , she tended to the poor, fed them and welcomed them into her heart. She was a giving young women who in a way mirrored in the book "Mother Theresa crossed with Florence Nightingale". In a world where Puritan is the religion to follow , Elizabeth is having second thoughts as she is drawn more into the world of Christianity. When Elizabeth is called to be a housekeeper for the Preacher Costin's family after his wife has passed away from childbirth , she agrees as anything to prolong her arranged marriage with Samuel, a guy she is not even remotely attracted too . As the story progresses like most we see Elizabeth and John Costin move closer together and as we witness through the turning pages, their faith and serving in the one true God falls hand in hand with Elizabeth a healer and server and John a Preacher and Evangelist. When enemies threaten to silence Costin and Elizabeth for preaching the Good news of Jesus Christ, can these two form a bond so strong that will prove that if you believe in Jesus and God, all things no matter how hard or impossible it may seem are possible.
Jody Hedlund is an author that you will enjoy if you like the writings of Kim Vogel Sawyer , Lauraine Snelling, Julie Lessman , Cathy Marie Hake and Julie Klassen.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
