REVIEW WEDNESDAY - The Wagon Master's Wife

 Good morning, friends!

First off, I apologize for posting the wrong book title in yesterday's spotlight post. I had copied the bio and info from when I featured Christine last month, failing to proof my post. 

Today, we are reviewing...

AMAZON

BLURB:

A runaway bride in hiding. A wagon master with rules. One wagon train journey could cost them everything—or lead them straight to love.

Amanda Crumb is desperate to escape. Trapped under her brother’s cruel thumb and facing a future she never chose, she’ll risk everything for a chance at freedom on the Colorado trail. When stern wagon master Charlie Holstead refuses to let her join his train, Amanda makes a reckless choice and hides in one of his wagons.

Charlie Holstead trusts order. Scarred by loss and determined never to marry again, the seasoned wagon master has one rule above all others: no unmarried women on his train. But when he discovers a fiery stowaway with nowhere else to turn, Charlie’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel. Protecting Amanda becomes far more dangerous than sending her away.

Even though Amanda is falling for Charlie’s steady strength, quiet faith, and the way he makes her feel safe for the first time in years, her brother’s threats and her own fears could destroy their fragile trust. And although Charlie is drawn to Amanda’s courage, tender heart, and fierce determination, the pain of his past and the risks of loving someone in danger keep him from claiming the future he wants.

Will Amanda and Charlie trust God—and each other—before the unforgiving frontier tears them apart?

One of the first things I noticed in the beginning of the book was the blurb, 'if you enjoy books by Karen Whitmere or Shanna Hatfield...'

I am a fan of both of those authors. Karen Whitmer ( Karen Whitmer-Gow/ Elizabeth Grayson) was a dear friend of my sister and I had the pleasure of getting to know her as well. Almost thirty years ago, I received a gift of embroidery scissors from Karen for one of her books. I can't remember the book now, but I cherish those little scissors. Sadly, Karen passed in 2025. I met Shanna at the last RT Convention in Dallas and have featured on the blog several times. 

With that information, and having reviewed The Farmer's Wife last month, I was not surprised to find this book just as enjoyable. 

Christine Sterling is one of the best novella authors I've read. She has the format down to a science. 'This is where we are, this is what's happening, this is where we find our happy-ever-after'.

I loved Amanda's determination to escape her brother and thwart his evil plan to use her as a bargaining chip in a high-stakes poker game. The fact he eluded to the fact the winner could do whatever they wanted with her was down right disgusting. However, Christine let this add to the characterization of why Amanda was desperate to get away, and why she chose Charles as her 'knight in shining armor'. 

Which brings me to Charlie Holstead. He may not be in the market for a bride, much to his mother's dismay, but when he hears Amanda's brother's evil plan he sets his reservations aside to save her. He has his own history with the man. He won't let history repeat itself.

How Christine brought the two together was perfect. Mind you, if I'd crawled out of a wagon to go relieve myself and walked into a 'tree with arms', I'm not sure I'd have the control Amanda possessed. One more little nugget of showing the heroine's strength.

Christine Sterling is masterful and I hope to read more of her books, including the rest in this series as well as the first one we featured last month. She writes tight, while leaving nothing out in any of her series'. I encourage you to go to her Amazon Author Page link below and begin a summer full of entertainment and enjoyment. If you don't have time to curl up with a larger book, her stories are perfect.

RETURN TO HISTORY - Part 3

Until I began researching how to portray the subject of bringing home Lt. Daniel Sterlings remains home from the Korean War in A OZARKS HOMECOMING I didn't know anything about Mortuary Affairs.

I knew our service men and women came home but I didn't know anything about the process - what steps were taken to honor our fallen heroes and bring them home with the dignity they deserve.

Today, we reconize Funeral Directors and Morticians around the globe. I dated a Mortuary Affairs officer, (though I did not know that at the time. I think he still serves in that capacity - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Darrold)

Footnote: Darrold passed away in 2025. He was looking forward to reading this story.

Death is something we all have to deal with at some/ multiple points in our our life. Take time today to thank your local mortician. They do so much to preserve the precious memories we have of our loved ones.

Thank you, David Lenz, Joe Gross and Darrold Davies

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - A June Bride

 Good morning, readers!

We're stepping into June all about the brides. This week's novella was interesting. Let's get into the book and the review.

AMAZON

BLURB:

The reality show ended with an engagement, so why doesn’t this feel like the fairy tale she thought it would be?

The Rejection Connection hardly sounds like the place to fall in love, but Wynne Hardy walked off the reality-TV set with an engagement ring. And in the whirlwind of publicity and preparation that follows a TV-bride-to-be in her fifteen minutes of fame, Wynne barely has time to consider how she really feels about her new fiancé . . . to say nothing of how she still feels about her ex.

As the wedding plans develop, so too do Wynne’s doubts: Is she in love with Andy? Or is this really about Callum—the ex-boyfriend who sent her onto Rejection Connection in the first place? A nationally televised snub might be the best revenge . . . but is it a good reason to get married?

When Callum resurfaces at the worst possible moment, Wynne can’t help wondering if she’s made a huge mistake. Is her marriage a publicity stunt? And what happens when the cameras stop rolling, and she has a husband she barely knows?

A June Bride is Book 7 in the A Year of Weddings series. 

I've never been a fan of reality TV, unless it's a cooking show (those are a little harder to script, I think, though not impossible). But as this story brings to light, most of it is scripted for ratings. Meredith brings that to light when, as her Marathon Mom fame is dying, she steps onto Wynne's wedding dress train for a shot at a new run; a way to keep herself in the spotlight. Wynne doesn't see this at first. She's too caught up in her upcoming wedding to her chosen one on the reality show, The Rejection Connection. But was she really 'rejected'? Or did she misunderstand why Callum walked away? 

The evolution of this story was smooth, believable, and worth the read. Once you read the book, please leave a comment either here, or in your own review whether or not Andy was really in it to find a partner or was he also riding the reality train?

RETURNING TO HISTORY - Part 2

 As readers we think (or at least I've heard) that writing a book is easy. For those authors who are pumping out 4-6 books a year I just can't imagine. Do they not do anything but write? No other interests?

I have always had some experience, feeling, something to draw from and to add a dimension to my stories. With An Ozarks Homecoming, I started with a clean slate. The closest I have to experience with this book is 1) my passion for all things Eureka Springs and 2) my desire to in some way, pay my respects to Corporal Donald Matney, the Korean War Veteran who inspired the secondary story line.

For those of you who are authors, you'll understand what I'm about to say next. The Hero, Marc, informed me last night that his last name can NOT be the same as the Veteran, because his mother (the daughter of the late Cpl. Sterling) married. Marc's name would be that of his parents... not his mother's maiden name. (As I repost this I realize I've still not addressed this in the story. Hmm)

My strongest desires for this book are to do justice to Cpl, Matney and his family, to pay honor our Veterans, and to put out the very best book I can.

So tell me, are you are writer? a reader? both?

All my best!

RETURNING TO HISTORY - Part 1

 Good morning, friends. 

I'm going to be reposting older content. For one reason, I may have followers that have not seen them. The other reason is bring posts related to my current work in progress to the foreground. I'm getting closer to finishing An Ozarks Homecoming so it's time to bring some things back - refreshing both your memory (if you've been following me awhile) and my own. At almost sixty-five, this brain isn't always what it  used to be in some areas. 

Future posts will run on Wednesdays and the conference/ contest items will run on Thursdays, when available.

EDITED FROM JANUARY 2019 - How it all began.

I don't think I've told any of you yet, but Book 2 is centered around a young couple brought back together (there's that 2nd chance thing) through the events surrounding bringing home the remains of a Korean War Vet. I got the idea two years ago as I stood by the side of the road in solemn respect of a procession carrying Crpl. Donald Matney home to Seymour MO. Something about this young man spoke to me. While I've never believed in visiting someone at a cemetery, I find myself stopping by his resting place almost every time I travel through on my way to Springfield.

They say 'write what you know'. Many of my stories are influenced by my own personal experiences. I'm struggling with Book 2 because I really don't have anything to pull from. The other challenge I have is making sure I get all of the military information correct. I do not want to dishonor our service men and women by misrepresenting something. 

All my best!

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - The Farmer's Bride

 Good morning!

Was nice to curl up and really enjoy the book yesterday. I needed the break. The canning is done until fall, so that's one thing off my plate and I can get back to writing.

In the mean time, I have a soft romance for you today. This book was special. One of the reasons I love to read novella's because they show the author's true artistry in telling a tight, well-structured story. This week's book is a great example of Christine Sterling'stalent.

AMAZON

BLURB:

She offered herself as a bride, to save her future—and his heart.

Elizabet Garrett is out of time and out of choices. Cast out by her brother’s growing family, she knows the early American frontier offers little mercy to an unmarried woman with nowhere to go. When she witnesses a wounded farmer being rejected by his mail-order bride, Elizabet does the unthinkable. She steps forward and offers herself as the substitute.

Peter Arkin has learned not to hope. Finding a wife on the frontier isn’t easy when you have a disability. He has survived loss, injury, and a bitter struggle with anger on his isolated homestead. When his carefully arranged mail-order match fails, the last thing he expects is a stranger’s brave and desperate proposal. Elizabet never intended to fall for the rugged man behind the scars, but her past threatens to follow her into marriage.

Peter starts believing in love again, but his temper and self-doubt could destroy the fragile bond they’re building. Can two wounded hearts find healing, faith, and love on the unforgiving frontier, or will fear cost them everything?

Set in the small town of Flat River, Nebraska, this heartfelt and uplifting historical romance is perfect for readers who enjoy 1800s western frontier stories filled with strong pioneer women, rugged men, and the courage it takes to choose love. If you love clean historical romance rooted in faith and hope, with frontier hardship and a love which grows stronger through God’s grace, then read The Farmer’s Bride today and discover why readers keep coming back to Flat River.

I loved multiple things about this story. First and foremost a disabled hero. It isn't often we see disability featured, especially in a historical. He was so sweet. Elizabet helped him see he wasn't incapable of a lot of things, including love, just because he was missing a leg. They were both bruised from various occurrences in their past. They found each other when they needed to someone to help them heal. 

As for Elizabet. I loved her character. The fact that her brother acted the way she did. Elizabet left to begin her new life with Peter with a small carpet bag holding her meager possessions. I won't give anything away but safe to say, Peter had much more restraint than I would have. 

The Farmer's Bride is Book 1 of 7 in the Flat River Matchmaker series. Christina said we'll see some of the characters make appearances along the way. I want to read the others if for no other reason than to find out if Elizabet's brother comes to his senses. 

You'll find a complete list of the series on...

 Good morning, friends!

How can it be June already? June is one of the biggest months for weddings so we're reading those all-in novellas this month. 

According to columnist Kate Boswell (her article references The Knot data), seventy-six percent of weddings take place between May and October. June comes in second place of the top 3. Please tell me in the comments what seasons you think come in at number one and number three.

Kicking off our June brides authors is Christine Sterling.

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - A May Bride

 Good morning, readers!

I do apologize for the delay. I got up yesterday morning with a flu bug. Forming coherent sentences wasn't going to be popular. Much better today, so let's get into today's review.

Yesterday was the perfect day to curl up with a book... while I had jars of potato fries in the pressure canner. LOL Multi-tasking is a must until I get things in order.

AMAZON

BLURB:

Ellie has prepared for her wedding all her life . . . but she has forgotten the most important part.

Ellie Martin, a country girl living in Atlanta, has dreamed of a traditional wedding all her life—a wedding just like the one her younger sister is planning back home. Even though Ellie is realizing her dreams in the big city as an up-and-coming real-estate agent, she’s missing a key ingredient to her plans for the future: a groom.

Then Ellie meets Gray Whitby—at a wedding of all places. Gray is handsome and fun, and he sweeps her away in a whirlwind romance. In a matter of months, Ellie knows Gray is "the one," but her mother isn't so sure, judging Gray to be the freewheeling type, like Ellie's runaway father. 

When Ellie jeopardizes her own future for the sake of her sister, Gray feels like he'll always be second to Ellie's family. Can Ellie and Gray find their own way together amidst the demands and perceptions of others or will their romance end before it has truly begun?

I liked Ellie's character, though Gray was definitely a favorite. This is the first book I've read in a long time where the conflict between the two was tangible and left me not just asking 'will they/ won't they (because they always do in a romance) but how are they going to figure things out - and in the tight confines of a novella, no less! As I got deeper into the story I got the impression there was more of Ellie's mother in her than she realized. I was impressed the author didn't have Gray bring it up. That would have been a devastating move for their relationship - end of story. In stead, she let Ellie and Gray figure things out on their own terms. 

While Ellie's sister reminded me a bit of an entitled sister, I most wanted to get in her mom's face and give her a hard talking to. She needed to be reminded that her mistakes were hers and not her daughters. Gray's family were the kind you want to marry in to.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Meg Moseley

 Good morning!

This week, I'm shinning the spotlight on a California girl turned southern belle.

Let's get to  know Meg Moseley:

Although I've lived more than half my life in other states, I'm still a Californian at heart. I love vintage bungalows, twisted oaks on rolling hills, and the rocky beaches of the Central Coast. A few blocks away from my childhood home stood a Lutheran church where I came to faith, first through Sunday School teachers whose kindness drew me to the kindness of God, and then through confirmation classes. The Bible verses that had been drilled into my head came to life in my heart.

After moving away from home as a teenager, I worked at a variety of jobs, from candle-maker in a tourist town to administrative assistant at a Christian college. I married a wonderful man from Michigan, and we lived north of Detroit for seventeen years. That's where we started homeschooling our three children, an endeavor that we finished in Georgia when our youngest graduated from high school in 2009.

My husband and I live near Atlanta, close to the foothills of the Southern Appalachians. His motorcycle often carries us to the mountains of Georgia, Tennessee, or the Carolinas. Sitting on the back of the bike, I can pray, enjoy the beautiful views, and plot new stories. Fiction makes my world go 'round, whether I'm writing it or reading it

Tomorrow, I'll be reviewing Book 6 (of an 11-book series). In the mean time, please click on the links below to find out more about Meg and her books:

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Lavender & Quill

 Good morning, friends!

AMAZON - Box Set

Today's book is interesting in the way the stories are presented. Let's check out the blurb, first.

When life fell apart in Seattle, Ashley St. James never thought she’d find herself back in Hope Hill—the small town of lavender fields, quirky neighbors, and lingering family ties. But inheriting her late father’s beloved bookstore, Lavender & Quill, might just be the second chance she didn’t know she needed.

Determined to reopen the shop and start fresh, Ashley quickly discovers that peeling back the layers of her father’s legacy won’t be easy. A devastating storm, hidden letters from the past, and a wealthy newcomer determined to reshape the town threaten her plans at every turn.

Thankfully, help arrives in the form of Noah Callahan—the quiet, skilled craftsman with a protective streak and a daughter who adores books as much as Ashley does. But as the repairs unfold and buried secrets surface, Ashley must decide if she’s ready to risk her heart—and stand her ground against the charming but dangerous newcomer intent on buying her out. 

With the support of her sisters, a blossoming romance, and the mystery of Lavender & Quill pulling her deeper into Hope Hill’s history, Ashley might just find that some chapters are worth rewriting.

Normally, (in other box sets I've read), each book in the set is it's own story. If the series is collaborative with multiple authors, while each story is different, there is a running theme. In other sets where all of the books are by one author, each story is different but offer multiple characters from the initial story yet each have their own book. Think seven sisters with each sister having her own story while everything winds together in a well-written series. 

Lavender & Quill is different. I've never seen this done before, making the way May North writes her own special voice. 

There are five books in Lavender & Quill. Each book is a novella of around eighty-six pages. But here's the kicker. Each novella appears to be just a continuation from the novella prior. While I've not read the entire 367-page boxed set, I have the feeling the collection is Ashley & Noah's story broken up into individual quick reads, rather than sitting down with the whole tome. Interesting way of creating a story.

May North is great with description and a way with comparative words. I enjoyed Book 1 of Lavender & Quill. I may try to finish the series before turning back to KU. 

In the mean time, I'm giving Lavender & Quill...

 Good morning, friends!

After a brief thunderstorm this morning, I'm jumping in before the next wave hits. Today's weather is going to be perfect for curling up with a cup of coffee, my cat (Tabitha), and a good book. 

Let's meet this week's author, May North:

While May spends most of the days doing what she loves–writing–she also loves her two boys and reading books. As May has grown older, she realized her taste in books changed. She wanted books that felt like a warm blanket and hot chocolate on a cold winter day. So, she started writing those books. She hopes her books give you the joy and comfort it does her bringing them to life!

REVIEW WEDNESDAY - May Flowers

 Good morning, readers.

If you're looking for a quick read during your coffee break, today's book is for you.

AMAZON

BLURB:

Love blooms after the rain…

Aria Garcia is a fifth-grade teacher in Vermont, who likes to keep her private life private. Her co-workers are curious as to who is sending her flowers almost every single day. Aria has never felt the way she does with Damian Rossi. He makes her feel safe and, most importantly, loved.

With each new bouquet of flowers from Damian, Aria falls deeper in love. After a month of sneaking around, Damian is ready to show off his love for Aria. Will Aria be able to find the courage she needs to let go of her fears?

Stories don't come any sweeter than this. Don't be deceived by the length. A lot is packed into the forty-seven pages! 

First, Aria Garcia is dealing with past emotional trauma, making her afraid to fully step into a relationship with a guy that seems beyond perfect.

Next we have Damian, who from what we see from Aria's point of view seems like the perfect guy. Maybe too perfect. 

When Damian puts the brakes on their private relationship, Aria is forced to confront her dad. Later, seeing Damian in his sister's flower shop and how she and her husband interact she realizes something important. 

I saw something in this story I wish a dear friend of mine would understand. We have to let go of whatever happened in our past if we're to truly live in the present. Most of the time we can't do anything about what lives in our brain like the boogey man, orchestrating our every decision in the present. Talk about the situation with whomever was involved. Resolution or not, only you can decide what your true future holds - the happiness you deserve.

The only thing that confused me in it's inclusion was the Cinco de Mayo situation with her class. I couldn't pull it together. Maybe I missed something. So, if you read this book (and I hope you will), please let me know in the comments what you saw.

I'm giving MAY FLOWERS...

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Eden Larsen

 Good morning, friends!

A quick note:

While I read/ review novella-length books every week, I do this for two reasons. The biggest one is time. My main focus since Bob retired is spending time with him and take care of our home. He didn't retire after 42 years for me to sit with my nose in my book/ kindle. The second reason is to give you a taste of an author's work. This enables you to decide in a limited mount of time if this is an author you want to further discover. Also, I've joined Kindle Unlimited so most books are available on Kindle Unlimited. Please remember to leave a review. 

With that, let's meet this week's author:

While Eden Larsen is a prolific author you won't find her with a website, a FB page, etc. She focuses on building her readership through Amazon and Goodreads.  Here's a bit about Eden.

Eden Larsen was born in a little town in northeast Utah, the youngest of four children. Over the years, she has developed a love for books, puzzles, and nativity sets. A tradition in her house is to watch as many Hallmark movies throughout the year. She has been dubbed “favorite aunt” by her nieces and nephews. She hopes to retain this title throughout her entire life. 

When Eden isn’t writing, she is raising an intelligent, creative, and imaginative teenage boy. Together, they live in southwest Utah.

I'll be reviewing May Flowers tomorrow. This is Book 5 in her calendar series. While the book is only 47 pages, I'm looking forward to reading the book. I'm hoping the story is captivating enough for me to go back and read the other eleven books. 

You'll find Eden Larsen on the following places:
