The two main characters are great. There is a tragic twist in the story, but it explains everything. The chemistry is there from the start and only Callum is smart enough not to push a healer. Ava is full of surprises and knows her own mind and heart, which leads her to several misadventures. Unfortunately Callum is stuck in his idea of there being madness in his family. It’s a great read and very enjoyable.
This story is well written and has a good plot. Unfortunately our heroine is whiny, self-centered, naive and extremely immature. Our hero is lovable, but is naive when it comes to women. Otherwise, he is a responsible gentleman who takes pride in his work. The parents are over the top and have no consideration for their only child. Our villain has a sick side that is not addressed in this story. I usually love this author's stories, but this is not her best. I didn't even get a good lesson out of it like I have her other stories.
Our hero is too self absorbed. One facial scar does not make the man. How we deal with scars in our life is what makes us who we are inside. Henry was too sensitive and took everything like the world was against him. This is a good story but the author spent a lot of time focusing on Henry’s anger at his father. She even used it to help Emma fall in love with Henry. They say love heals all wounds. I say only if you are open and allow it too.
This is a story about redemption and about falling in love. It starts with a connection and Tristan needs to change his ways if he is going to save his estates. Our broken-hearted heiress, Viola is afraid to give her heart. This story deals with the aftermath of that disastrous engagement and Tristan acting the hero. This is a really good story, but could have been better if the author had dealt better with Tristan's brother. What kind of man is the brother? He acts all caring about the property, yet treats his brother with scorn, especially after Tristan starts courting Viola. The biggest character flaw in this story is that Tristan acts like a teenager, and his mother constantly pushes him towards acting like a man of character. I thank the Lord for mothers who unconditionally love their children.
This story is about faith, hope, belief and love. A man who has lost everything looks for a bride to help him restore his farm. A woman escaping an abusive father and to have faith that the Lord will lead her to a better life. Even through discouragement and life trials, these two will find a love stronger than their own when both of them finally turn over everything to the Lord.
This is a good story about a woman abandoned by her family and a kind and Christian family which takes her in. Keely is independent, stubborn and extremely naïve. She has a can do attitude and stubbornly refuses to see reason, especially with the man she is falling in love with. Nolan tries to help Keely out and he is gentle and kind, even when Keely is not. When trouble comes to the door, the McKeegan's are there to help Keely, even when she is so afraid of anyone getting hurt because of her. The story is not romantic, but one of friendship which grows into love.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worn Sandals is a true example of how to live Grace. There are at least four moments when I had to stop reading to cry, tears ...
