Whispers from the Shadows
by Roseanna M. White
Murder, spies,
secrets, war, love, grief, forgiveness, faith... There’s so much to enjoy in
this story. The characters and plot were very well developed and the writing is
clear and exciting.
The Heiress of Winterwood
by Sarah E. Ladd
I immediately fell in
love with Amelia and Graham. Both are strong characters with flaws—which they
must overcome. The storyline is strong and believable. The characters are real
and likable. There was never a good time to stop reading—I kept turning the
pages and the ending was satisfactory. I’m looking forward to Sarah Ladd’s next
book!
The Rose of Lancaster County
by Murray Pura
A fantastic story with great characters and…oh, the romance!! Mr. Pura knows what
a woman wants in a romance story and he happily pens it down for us all to
enjoy.
by Serena B. Miller
Awesome story about two characters from Serena Miller's The Measure of Katie Calloway—Skypilot and Moon Song.
An interesting story with unexpected twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages.
by Myra Johnson
The writing style is
excellent! After having read the first pages, I was so drawn into the story that
I knew this was going to be a great read…and I wasn’t disappointed! This book has an original storyline
and kept me guessing till the end. Highly
recommended!
by Jocelyn Green
A well written, heart wrenching story set during the Civil War. Very well done!
by Elizabeth Byler Younts
This author knows how
to keep the suspense high and keep the reader guessing. I have shed several tears while reading
this fantastic book, so I advise keeping the tissues handy. I’m going to keep my
eye on this author and I’m surely going to read the next book in this
series.
Misery Loves
Company
by Rene
Gutteridge
As a blogger and
reviewer I was drawn like a magnet to the storyline in this book. What more fun
can there be than to read about the main character being a blogger and
reviewer, and who is being kidnapped by her favorite author? :-)
Ashton Park
by Murray Pura
A wonderful first book in a trilogy about the Danforths of Lancashire. I've read the complete series and loved all the books. If you like to read books with many characters and various plots, then this series is for you.

The Well
by Stephanie Landsem
I enjoyed this book immensely! The
writing is excellent; the author has a pleasant voice, the plot is very well
done, the characters are so real, easy to love, and easy to identify with.
From the first till the last page this book is a pure delight.
A Heart Deceived
by Michelle Griep
This author really can write!!
She
has an unique way with words that drew me into the story right away.
The
descriptions are so rich and full, I could almost feel, hear, smell, and touch
them. The emotions splattered from the pages—fear, despair, unfairness, hope,
love, romance! Extremely well written, excellent
research, and a brilliant plot!!
by Karen Witemeyer
Not only a lovely cover, but an enjoyable story as well. This was such a treat!
by MaryLu Tyndall
A wonderful first book in a new series—I enjoyed this book very much. I love the author's rich descriptions and she always creates the best characters!
Return to Shirley Plantation
by Carrie Fancett Pagels
Our very own Carrie surprised me with her wonderful
debut novella. I loved reading about Angelina and Matthew—how they met at
Shirley Plantation and how the first sparks of chemistry filled the air. But
this is not only a love story—it is war and there are secrets and a mystery to
unravel.
by Kathleen L. Maher
Another wonderful novella by a debut author. This is a sweet love story set during the Civil War. Bachelor Buttons is a lovely story about regular people's lives during the Civil War. Kathleen Maher has a fresh and pleasant writing-style which makes this story an enjoyable read.
by Murray Pura
This is one of the sweetest short stories I have read in a long time. It tugged at my heartstrings and I sniffled through the whole story. It's so touching, so warm, so sweet, and awesome.

Majestic and Wild
by Murray Pura
Our friend Murray has published many books this year and I loved them all—fiction and non-fiction as well. All his books are among my favorites this year, but his devotional Majestic and Wild has blessed me the most of all the books I've read in 2013!
