Excellent collections of novellas. Four great authors share their sweet novellas. I totally enjoyed this book. You will seek to read the other books by these authors. They take you places you won't want to leave. The cover is beautiful as are the stories. A must read! You can find Tamera Alexander, Shelley Gray, Dorothy Love and Elizabeth Musser on goodreads, amazon, facebook and other social media.

JANUARY 25, 2016 I have several reviews, it has been hard putting down these books to write the reviews so I will today.  "The Wedding Chapel" by Rachel Hauck is great. I loved reading how one is never too old to find a lost love. Rachel does an amazing job in writing this book. I almost felt like I was in the Chapel. it is never too late for reconciliation. Always have Hope!   "A Respectable Actress" by Dorothy Love is another great book. It is full of secrets, mystery, suspense, murder, livin g a day at a time and of course romance. You will find yourself cheering for India in all the struggles and changes she faces. Hearts healed and new beginnings are waiting for you.  "Whispers in the Reading Room" by Shelley Gray. Wow, grabbed my interest from the first page. I love books and reading a book about a librarian who meets a mysterious patron just makes for great reading. You will fall in love with Lydia, Bridget, Sebast...

February 9, 2016 IT'S RELEASE DAY FOR "THE SPY'S DEVOTION" I love Melanie's books, I look forward to each new release and this one did not disappoint. Written during the Regency Era. A different path than her previous novels but written just as well. She has a distinctive talent in her writing skills. I enjoy this novel very much. The story between Nicholas and Julia will capture you from the beginning and through every page as they face pain, betrayal, life-changing decisions as God works in their lives for His greater good. This is definitely a must read. Blessings, Karen

January 20, 2016     I finished reading An Amish Christmas Gift, which is three novellas by three different authors. "Naomi's Gift" by Amy Clipston reminds me not to give up hope in areas of my life that I feel won't ever change. Follow Naomi as she learns that loving and being loved is never too late. Sometimes well meaning friends and family don't always know what is best for you only God does. "An Unexpected Joy" by Ruth Reid is filled with humor and determination as Abigail works hard to save money for something she feels will help her be more independent. The connection between her, Micah and his grandmother just warmed my heart. Anger and betrayal create a bridge but how will they get over it. Just got to read it to find out! "A Christmas Visitor" by Kelly Irvin is an Amish story from a different perspective. Frannie is sent to her aunt and uncle's house to remove her from a relationship with a English man. She is determined ...

January 18, 2016        Yesterday my parents celebrated 58 years of marriage! Congratulations!       I have several reviews to share with you this week beginning with T.K. Chapin's "Up in Smoke" This is the 3rd book in this series. It is a good read as it deals with the consequences of gambling and one can become a slave to it and allow it to destroy families and friendships. I like T.K.'s books for one reason is that it comes through the eyes of the main guy in the book. Helps with getting a new perspective in reading. Well done! Blessings, Karen Hadley

Good Morning and Happy New Year!                                  January 7, 2016              As for most of you my December was busy. Yet, I always find time to read.   ALWAYS! I’ve read through many novellas.   They are listed below with a short review.   Every one of them were great reads. “The Substitute Bride” by Carrie Fancett Pagels        A Christmas Carol  meets  It’s A Wonderful Life.   I loved this story line and how the heroine finds herself in a tough spot and seeks a solution. That solution ends up being an answer to her prayer as well as the hero's'. Step out in faith when God directs you.   “Letters from Santa” by Becca Whitham          " Yes, Vio...
