Veil of Destruction by Vannetta Chapman (A Kessler Effect Novel)

I have read each of the Kessler Effect books so far and that has been an amazing tale!  I have become a fan of dystopian thanks to this author.  This was  a book that makes you think of what could happen and how would you survive under these circumstances.  This book has no dull moments.  It is hard to imagine a world that has come under such a situation as to have no communication, and all that we have come to accept as normal life.  I found it interesting  how they had to depend on one another and how they had to determine who could be trusted and who was not to be trusted.

OK, this was a great read.  And I don't want to give too much away, so am just saying, you will not be sorry that you read this.  The author has talent!

It Happened One Night by Melinda Curtis (A Grandma Dotty Sweet Romcom) Summer Kisses Book 5

I enjoy sweet Grandma Dotty books and this was a great continuation of the series.  She is always a fun character to read about.  Her antics keep everyone on their toes!

The story is very enjoyable and is a cute matchmaker story, and you know who the matchmaker is! This was a fun contemporary romcom!  I loved it.

Forbidden Love by Debra Torres (Willow Secrets of the Pen)

 

This was a very different story line that was intriguing and interesting.  It was interesting to me as my father was a newspaper printer and newspapers are slowing or quickly disappearing for online news.  So I can see why this would still be an important news source for the Amish. This is the story of Johanna and Judah who tell their personal story throughout the book. She is baptized Amish and he is "English".

This is a clean Amish story with action and drama. It is a story of forgiving and personal growth. It will keep you reading to find out how things turn out!

I enjoyed the book and the characters and am glad I was able to read this interesting story! I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.

The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel by Antonio Iturbe

This was a very different book for me.  It was also touching as I have visited Auschwitz which is now in Poland as Oświęcim.  

It was a tragic historical graphic account of the experiences of a young Jewish girl as she enters the camp and because she was known as a great lover of books, becomes the camp's librarian.  It was a different story as to some of her experiences but very moving to read about.

Her Pretend Courtship by Jocelyn McClay and Vannetta Chapman

Their Unpredictable Path by Jocelyn McClay

This was my first book by this author and I was impressed by the enjoyable storyline and the story engaged me from the very first page.  It was a really sweet story with two people who created a pretend relationship to avoid the "attentions" of family, and other "well-intentions friends who want them both to find a suitable match.  It is a really enjoyable story and I like the author's style and definitely want to read her books.

Together these two books make a great combo!  You will love both stories!

 An Unlikely Amish Match by Vannetta Chapman:  

Susannah Beiler has decided to protect the other young Amish women from Micah Fisher.  He is definitely not your model Amish man and Susanna decides that the other women won't seek after him if she decides to date him herself.

This was a really good book and has lots of touching and tender moments in it.  And there was humor as well. It was one of those reads that you decide to read in one sitting because you don't want to stop reading.  Micah was a lovable character even though he doesn't always abide by the strict Amish rules and regulations. There are some surprising twists in the story and the characters grow and learn about themselves and others.  Kind of like we do!  I enjoyed this story very much.

Second Chances on Huckleberry Hill (The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill Book 11

 You wouldn't want to miss even a single book from this author.  Every book she writes, leaves you wanting more!  And book 11 in this series was exactly that!  More please!

The author has another hit!  I love a good matchmaker story starring Felty and Anna and this was wonderful.  The humor, the emotions and family relationships were well captured and I hate to see that I am nearing the end of the book as I am reading.  I love this light-hearted writing style that gives you that "feel-good" feeling at the end of the book.  Don't miss this one!!

His Sweet Surprise by Angie Dicken

A delightful Iowa story.  Love this area, having grown up 1/2 mile from the Iowa border.  The sweet midwestern region comes through in the story details. As Lance returns home to help in the apple orchard, he finds his ex-girlfriend there, along with her cute daughter, Maelyn.  This is a sweet story line of family and the love of family members.  I love the "sweet surprise", as I have personally experienced such surprises in my own family lines.  I love the forgiveness and imperfect families.  It's just a really nice story that you will enjoy!
