An Impossible Price by Davalynn Spencer Front Range Brides Series Book 3

I loved this sweet historical read.  It's a book that is hard to put down.  Sophie is a midwife and Clay arrives in town and stirs lots of feelings in her heart.  But there is something holding Clay back in their relationship. 

This book was well written and grabs you right from the very start.   It would appear to me that the author either has a great knowledge regarding things written in this book or did a lot of research.  It seemed very accurate to  the time and the setting. It's a sweet romance with characters from the earlier books which I always like to see and remember.

I truly enjoyed this book and am sure other readers who enjoy western historical books will just love it.

What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K. Sproles

Page 1 begins with drama!  And the drama never stops.  Worie Dressar is a 17 year old who finds herself in a unexpected parental role.  The story unfolds in 1877 in the Appalachian mountains.  Life was still very rough and rugged.  Worie's mother had been feeding children whose parents died of a fever that was raging in their area.  Kind of reminds you of the Covid days we are experiencing as well.

I loved how the character of Worie's language denotes the language of the mountain people, making it easy to visualize the time and place she was living in.  It's written in the first person of Worie, so a lot of the language in the book portrays this.

This is the second book that I have read from life in these mountains and the first book by this author.  I am certain I will be reading more.  The book is believable, and tragic.  A book that touches on the orphan trains that were also a part of that historical period. The heroine is a strong-willed young woman whose determination does not give up on what she decides to do. 

It is a book worth your time to read and will you feeling full of emotions.  Loved this book.

High Noon (Cyber Division Book 4) By Vannetta Chapman

Book 4  was really a fun read!  It took place in locations that I am very familiar with in my home state, Zion National Park and the Virgin River Gorge area.  Such a beautiful setting for an exciting book about cyber terrorists! 

The rock climbing and repelling add a little more excitement.  A favorite hobby of my grandson!  I really enjoyed the book and there seems to be little touch of romance along the way.  Great book.  You will enjoy it!

Romancing Nadine by Amy Lillard

I love the continuity in this series, how the characters continue throughout subsequent books.  Nadine is twice widowed and single.  Amos has never married and feels that Nadine was meant to be his wife.  Unfortunately Nadine is anything but willing to have Amos court her.

Such an engaging book, and not a dull moment to be found.  This whole series has been so good and I have enjoyed each addition.  I love how Jenna and Buddy are back and we get to see how things continue for them as well.  You can read the book on it's own, but they are all so good that you should read them all learning to love the characters portrayed by the author.

Loved it and recommend it!

Amish Friends Farmhouse Favorites Cookbook by Wanda E. Brunstetter

This is such a fun cookbook!  It's full of delicious sounding recipes and lots of really interesting tips that I am anxious to try.  The are all types of recipes that are well organized and different from other recipe books that I have.  So I am really excited to have this in my collection! 

I love the cleaning tips, household suggestions, as well as some canning items that are included.  And it also has lots of engaging pictures to help you know how appetizing these food items are.  I have several cookbooks from this author, and this one might just be my favorite one!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

When I Meet You by Olivia Newport

Book Blurb:

A Father-Daughter Genealogy Team Link Present to Past on Family Trees
 
A trunk abandoned at Denver’s Union Station more than a century ago leads Jillian and Nolan to untangle the mystery of its contents—including correspondence with the head of Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency Denver office. While Nolan digs into the legalities of the findings, Jillian searches for the descendants of a stolen identity who might not be who they think they are on Colorado ranch land. When Drew seems anxious to hear what Jillian has to say but his Great Aunt Min slams the subject closed—twice—Jillian is all the more determined to find out what happened to the woman who never claimed her luggage, why Min doesn’t want to talk about it, and what will happen for Drew if he gets the answers he seeks.
 
When I Meet You is the third book in the Tree of Life series by Olivia Newport. You’ll want to return to the lovely Colorado mountain town of Canyon Mines again and again to explore and celebrate unforgettable family stories that will inspire you to connect with your own family histories and unique faith journeys.

My Review:

Those who know me, know that I am a genealogist, know that I will love a book like this.  I'm beginning to be totally convinced that genealogists love to solve all kinds of all kinds and types of mysteries.  So finding a mysterious unclaimed trunk is an absolute fascination for me.  Searching old documents is a blast to find the answers to solve all types of life's mysteries.  So did I like and enjoy reading this book?  Absolutely!  Finding the answer to unresolved issues, is a challenge I love to take.  And so this book was great reading for me.

Long Road to Justice by Bruce Hammack

I loved this book.  It was very enthralling and kept me reading a bit too late in the night.  Yes, I wanted to know what happened next and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.  It is a well written book.  The author is a very talented author and the book keeps you spellbound.  And a clean read!

I really enjoyed his writing style.  Well worth your time.  And I recommend this great work of fiction that seems real.  I can really see the events happening to someone.  I have to admit since I began reading as a young girl, mysteries were my genre then and I guess that genre still attracts my attention!  Good book!
