Harvest of Love by Janet Lee Barton

I really enjoyed this story.  It was a sweet and happy book in this beautiful collection.  I especially liked this one.  It is the first novella of this author that I have read.  Her writing has a very nice Christian spirit about it and it is a book that leaves you feeling good knowing that God does have a plan for us and he can lead us in the direction that brings happiness into our lives.  Highly recommend this one!

This is a great collection. 

Shining Armor by Erica Vetsch

I have now finished the 3rd book in the series.  Gwendolyn Gerhard is becoming a mail order bride, or is she?  The man who had sent for her has died shortly before her arrival.  She is surprised by the fact that the man was also an old grandpa.  And now she's in the middle of nowhere and no where to stay, and no options but to return to where she started.

I am really enjoying this series of stories.  And I can't wait to start on the next one.  I rate this a 5 star. I enjoyed reading it and the characters were enjoyable and there was a bit of excitement along the way.

The Spinster and the Doctor by Frances Devine

I really enjoyed the Spinster and the Doctor by Frances Devine.  I have been enjoying all the novellas in this compilation.

Elaine works at an orphanage as a new doctor arrives in town.  It would appear that trouble follows this doctor everywhere he goes.  He hopes his fresh start will be greatly improved only to find that the local citizens have been hearing and sharing rumors about him spending time at the saloon with the women that work there.

This story is one of understanding, faith and forgiveness.  It's a great read and you will enjoy it.  Will be reading more of her writings.

The Spinster and the Cowboy by Lena Nelson Dooley

This novella was sweet and nice story about a young or perhaps, considered in her time, as "not so young" woman in her 20's.  India, owner of a cattle ranch in Arizona discovers that the new hired hand may have motives other than those of the role of "cowboy" especially when she is away and returns to find him in her office.

I thought perhaps the story ended a little faster than I would have expected, but did enjoy the plot and the characters.  I haven't read anything from this author before and hope that I will be able to read other of her works in the future.  I am also enjoying this collection and I am sure others will also.

A Birthday Wish by Darlene Franklin

Another in the Love is Patient collection, this book is also a sweet historical read.  Haydn is the grandson of an influential and well-to-do man.  As Gladys comes to care for his grandfather during his illness,  Haydn takes on the part of being a person who is not related.

The story is good, And it is a good Christian read.  I think you will enjoy this story as well!

Lady-in-Waiting by Erica Vetsch The Love is Patient Romance Collection

This is the second novella in the book.  I have recently read and reviewed another historical romance by this same author.  I enjoyed it alot, as I did this one, too.

Plain Jane is how Jane saw herself, and so she was desperate to win the love of her mail-order arranged marriage.  She was sure that he had no feelings for her, although she had feelings for him.

Moving out to a soddy was not what she had expected, but so it was and she has to decide how to earn her husband's love.

A sweet romance with an enjoyable storyline.  I enjoy this author and hope to read more of her writings.

The Love is Patient Romance Collection: The Spinster's Beau by Jill Stengl

I just started reading the first novella in this 9 part collection of historical novellas by some really amazing authors.  I decided I would review each one right after I read it so that it is still all fresh in my mind.

This book started out in a rather exciting way as Jane is called out to help the local doctor with what she supposed was a childbirth but turns out to be a rather different call than she would have ever expected.  Doing her best to help with her case brings along some surprising feelings and as Jane receives a marriage proposal from an unexpected suitor, she must choose to patiently wait to see what her future holds or accept the sure thing which promises a secure future.

I enjoyed the story very much.  It is the first I have read from this author and I hope that I will have the opportunity to read more from her.  Really loved the story.  I kind of wish it would continue to see what Jane's future looks like!

This book is scheduled to come out on Feb. 1, 2016.  It can be preordered through Amazon at the following link.
