“All in Good Time” by Maureen Lang

20130327-131807.jpg

Dessa Caldwell longs to follow in Sophie Pierson’s footsteps and open a house for girls who want to get away from prostitution and the horrible life that comes with it. She wants to keep her secret that she has kept hidden away from everyone including the one that she could love. Henry Hawkins has a secret that could ruin his business and the relationship he has with Dessa. This story is a book about 2 people who both have a secret that they do not want shared with the world. They do not want their past to interfere with their future.

This book was so good! I was hooked in the first few pages. I love romances which really made me want to read this, but I was hoping it was not a typical romance and it definitely was not a typical romance. There were so many twists and turns that it kept me on my toes. I definitely would like to read more books by Maureen Lang because of how this book captivated me.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review from Tyndale House Publishers.

“Every Perfect Gift” by Dorothy Love

20130312-120419.jpg

It took me a little longer to read this book just because the first few chapters were pretty slow. After reading about 4 or 5 chapters it finally started to pick up and from then on I read it pretty quick. I love romances and this book was definitely a predictable one. I do not mind predictable books, but sometimes it would be nice not to read one. This storyline could have made for a good unpredictable romance.

This book was about a girl named Sophie who grew up in an orphanage and wanted to run a newspaper of her own. She moved to Texas with Wyatt and Ada Caldwell and lived there for 15 years. She came back to the town where she lived in an orphanage to bring back and run a paper that she loved when she lived in the orphanage. She meets a man named Ethan who is running the resort Blue Smoke that is up the mountain. They both have mutual feelings, but Sophie is worried that Ethan does not feel the same way. This book has many ups and downs, but I thought that it should have had a little bit more depth to it. I haven’t read the previous 2 books in this series which could have helped the depth problem, but it didn’t seem to me like it was a continuation. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book.

Schick Hydro Silk Razors from Bzzagent!

I recently received a Bzz Campaign to try out Schick Hydro Silk Razors from Bzzagent! I love these razors and have actually tried them out many times. My legs and underarms do not grow hair very fast so I only have to shave once a week. The type of razor and how many blades the razor has does have an effect on how fast the hair does grow. This razor has 5 blades which helps get a closer shave. This razor also has a protective layer around the blades which helps the “silk” effect. I love these and I will continue to get them since they do help me shave less

Go to Bzzagent now to sign up!

Update:  These razors sell for $5.97 at Walmart Store #0001 in Rogers, Arkansas for a 1-pk so in the 2/24 insert there is a $4/1 coupon which makes these only $1.97 or if you work for Walmart you can get an extra $.60 off with the Associate Discount Card which makes them only $1.37! This might seem like a lot for one razor, but believe me they are definitely worth it!

“Brush of Angels Wings” by Ruth Reid Review

I recently just finished reading a book called “Brush of Angels Wings” by Ruth Reid. This book was definitely different than I expected. It was a romance about an Amish girl and a boy whose mother was Amish, but had been shunned from the community. Jordan and Rachel meet when Jordan starts working for her father and Jordan and Rachel begin to have feelings for each other. Rachel doesn’t want to because Jordan is not sure he wants to join the church and Rachel does not want to leave the community. There are angels in the boom that guide them to where they need to be.

This book was good, but I didn’t expect the way the book was written. At first I didn’t know what the passages that were about the angels but then I realized they were angels that were helping Jordan and Rachel. I think it would have been better if that was incorporated and explained better in the story. I really liked this book and was glad to read it!

“Faithful to Laura” by Kathleen Fuller *Spoiler Alert*

Image

This was one of the best books I have read in a while. I read it in 3 days and with going to school, cleaning my house, working my FB page and watching my little sister that is something. It means that this book is good if I can read it that fast while still doing other things. This book is about an Amish girl who gets hurt by her boyfriend Mark King. She has scars that remind her every day what he did to her and her family. He stole money from her family and when she demands to get it back then he takes matters in his own hands. Mark King is doing what he does best by hurting people in order to get what he wants. Laura leaves her family because she feels responsible for what Mark King did to them. Sawyer is a young man who is adopted by an Amish family when he is in a foster home. Sawyer and Laura meet when Laura is staying with a family that is friends with Sawyer’s adoptive family. Laura starts working at Sawyer’s dad’s shop and then an older lady demands to see her grandson Sawyer. Sawyer doesn’t want to see her and he definitely doesn’t want to go back with her to New York. This story is one that tells of a blossoming romance between Laura and Sawyer despite her scars and his past of an English life. I really enjoyed this book!

This book was provided courtesy of Booksneeze as long as I did a review. 🙂
