Jennifer Beckstrand- Amish Christmas Table

Alfie and Benji are at it again.  They have schemed and planned ways to marry off their older brothers so that they can have their bedroom back.  After 4 years of sleeping in the basement, it was about to come true.   But it seems someone just messed up their chance to get out of the stinky, cold and bug infested basement!

These twins are something else.  Adorable but stinkers. You can't help but love them. I'm sure you will enjoy Christmas around the new table with the wonderful Petersheim family.

I was ever so happy to read the next installment of this family.  You never know what to expect. 

This is just one story- Trouble at the Christmas Table  that is in this new book collection called  Amish Christmas Table.  The authors are all known to me as I have been reading Amish fiction for a few years.  I knew I was in for a treat.  Its a perfect choice in preparation for the holiday season. 

Thank you, Jennifer Beckstrand, for giving me the opportunity to read this story.  It is released October 14th for all.  Pick up your copy!

Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital

 

Dr. Frances Brakespeare has many unanswered questions about her birth and her adoption. She needs to find answers especially after her adopted mother's sister threatens to take her name and reputation away from her. Frances is a fighter and she will get the answers. But the truth might come at a cost.

On a historical note, it covers a time period where birth control is just being introduced to women in this community.  It's frustrating in seeing how some husbands felt it was a threat.  A threat to what? 

This is Book two of the series.  I was familiar with the characters as I read the previous book.  I loved catching up with them.

I expect this story will continue as it ends with wanting more. I'll be right there ready to read more about Frances and the Orchard County Hospital. 

Thank you Boldwood Books for giving me the opportunity to read this story to review.

 Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital

Times are changing as secrets unfold…

Somerset, 1931Doctor Frances Brakespeare continues to settle into her new life in rural Somerset at Orchard Cottage Hospital, striving to improve the medical treatments on offer to the community.

After successfully establishing a mother and baby clinic, Frances is determined to move with the times and add family planning advice to her roster – but are the residents of Norton Dene ready for such progress or will she face opposition?

In her personal life, her relationship with the Reverend Gregory Sampson becomes her safe haven whilst battling with an embittered family relative in London. As always, Frances strives to honour the values inherited from her late benefactress Izzy Brakespeare.

As further dark family secrets and sins unfold, it seems the Brakespeare family name will have more resonance to Frances than she ever imagined and when a stranger enters her life, Frances may finally have the answers she has always sought.

Counting Miracles

Nicholas Sparks never lets you down.  He always delivers a book that you will enjoy.  This is no exception.  

I loved the story and the characters became real to me.  

Jasper tugged at my heart.  He had suffered so much in his life. But he never lost faith.  The kindness he received from his Doctor and her son was a blessing.  More than a blessing because it brought him Tanner.

Great book.

A Wife for the Rancher

Ryder was in a terrible predicament.   He needed a mother for his young son, Boone.  His only choice was to write to a mail order bride.

Genevieve needed to get away and she needed to do it fast.  She escaped to Colorado and married Ryder under false pretenses.  

Both needed to keep a physical and emotional distance from each other.  Genevieve felt this was a temporary situation.  Ryder was burned before and was waiting for it to happen again.

I really enjoyed the story.  It was a delight to see how their expectations of each other changed and how their relationship developed.

Close to the end of the book two characters were introduced.  Mr. Abercrombie is the least person you would expect to be a lawyer.  But wow, he was good and honest with his advice.  Emmitt was hired to bring Genevieve back to Colorado against her wishes.  He turned out to be one of her biggest protectors.   She couldn't go wrong with them and Ryder by her side.

Thank you, Jody Hedlund for allowing me to read this book to review.
