Love's Fortress by Jennifer Uhlarik (Doors to the Past #7)

 This was a time-slip book between current day and the 1870's.  Dani Sango inherits her father's home after his death.  Here starts her adventure in her father's past of art forgery and the book becomes quite intriguing.  It takes place at St. Augustine, Florida and takes you back in time with lots of drama you won't want to miss. 

This book is a page turner that grasps you and you will definitely not be able to put this book down.  The author does a good job of incorporating the two time frames.  A line that touched me was "Oh sweet heavenly Father, thank You! You do have a plan!" Which exemplified to me the Christian themes throughout the book.  That God is in control.  And that faith is an important part of life.

I recommend this book and I am sure others will enjoy it as well.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was not required to give a positive review.

The Oregon Trail Romance Collection by various Authors

This book is a very sweet and entertaining set of nine stories of hardships and happiness.  I have read books from several of the authors and a few were new to me and I enjoyed them all.  Very nice and enjoyable book!

I would love to see more of these types of collections!

First Love Forever Romance Collection by Susanne Dietze, Cynthia Hickey, Marcia Gruver, Carrie Fancett Pages, Martha Rogers, Lorna Seilstad, Connie Stevens, Jennifer Uhlarik

Here's a collection of very sweet love stories about "first loves".  There is always something special about first loves, something you never forget about.  These stories are interesting and uplifting.

The authors are well-known and blend well into a 9 part collection that make for a very enjoyable read.  They are historical in nature and range from 1861-1910.

Each story is a story of rekindled love of the past.  I love the idea of the book and the contents of it.  I enjoyed reading each one!

The Courageous Brides Collection by Various Authors

Nine historical novellas of women who face life head-on, with faith and courage.  I really enjoyed the nine different stories of strong women in situations that test their abilities, their faith and each is different and unique.

They each have a different story to tell about their lives is their beautiful historical settings in the 1800s.  Being as they are novellas and not full length, it was nice to be able to read an enjoyable story of a shorter length when time was a bit limited.

Each woman shows strength and dedication as she tries to serve others and help those who need her help.  I enjoyed this series and would probably enjoy other books from these authors, many of whom I was unfamiliar wth.

I received an ebook version of this collection from Netgalley for review.
