Promises of Gold by Serena Clarke, (Audible Version) Narrated by Kimi Weldon

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a fairytale retelling or not.  I didn't really know what to expect.  What I found was a sweet romance with heroes and villains and a surprise at the end!  The story has twists and turns and you won't know what happens next until you keep on reading!  It's amazingly clever how the author retells the tale of Rumpelstiltskin, the spinner of gold.  I have to admit, I totally forgot how this fairy tale played out.  It started to come back to me as I listened to the narrator, Kimi Weldon, tell this story to perfection.  She was a pleasing to listen to narrator and it made the story come to life.

There was great chemistry going on in the romance and it totally engaged me.  Well done!

A Lady of Refinement (Women of Courage) by Linda Weaver Clarke

Another sweet and clean and definitely enjoyable book by Linda Weaver Clarke.  I love the cover and have to admit, the look of a cover really influences my first thoughts of a book.  If I don't like the cover I don't read or buy the book.  

I love how the author weaves her ancestors' stories into her fiction.  What a wonderful way to preserve your ancestors' stories while writing an engaging and interesting story.  I loved the way the character of Jonathon grew throughout the story and how he learned to impress the woman he was hoping to court. I loved how Serenity was not as "refined" as her Welsh auntie had hoped for her to be.

It's a great story and I am so happy to have read it.  I enjoyed it so much!

More Amish Christmas Miracles (Numerous Authors) Peanut Butter Christmas by Jennifer Beckstrand

 

I love Amish stories and this story by Jennifer Beckstrand did not disappoint.  I love the mischievous Amish twins, Alfie and Benji, who are always good at those necessary matchmaker needs.  If love doesn't go as it should, you can be sure twins are on it!  True to form, a fun and sweet Amish romance as told by Jennifer Beckstrand.

This story was one of ten delightful Christmas Miracle stories and so fun.  A second chance for Jerry and Mary.  Will the twins succeed in their sneaky plans or get themselves in trouble, as usual!

Truly a sweet and tender story mixed with some humor.  Although I am reading it after the holidays, it is every bit as good as before.  I recommend these sweet stories and hope you take the time to read them!

Never Leave Me (Waters of Time Series) Book 2 by Jody Hedlund

I didn't remember immediately that I had read the first of this series, till a bit later.  Then the character, Marian, came rushing back to my memory. The book was quite thought provoking as one wonders who would or should receive the healing water?  This is a time-slip book and goes between Middle Ages to current and leaves you feeling you have to keep on reading.  There's no stopping now!

The hunt for the Tree of Life and the healing waters makes for a very intriguing story line.  It doesn't fail!  This book has some really exciting adventure, danger and romance for sure! The book is breathtaking and that says it all!

'
The lead characters are Ellen and Harrison.  Each has serious health issues to deal through. This book, in my opinion, had so much to offer.  Really enjoyed the action and the events till the very end.

Sunrise by Susan May Warren Book 1 (Sky King Ranch Series)

This book was really engaging.  If you wanted to know about Alaska...here's the book for you!  I totally enjoyed visiting Alaska by way of this book.  I have to admit the series title intrigued me, too.  I am from the generation of years of a TV show called "Sky King".  So had to absolutely read this book!  So that being said, this book is full of adventure and intrigue, suspense and Romance!  What more could a reader ask for, right???

This is the first book by this author that I have had the pleasure of reading.  I am now a fan.  This was a clean book with enthralling characters.  There were huge grizzly bears, wolves, danger a great story plot of second chance romance.  

I loved the title and how it related to the book.  So did I love this book?  The answer is a clear YES!
