The Rose Legacy by Kristen Heitzmann
5.0
I love historical fiction and came across this book as a result of it being a free download. I instantly fell in love with how beautifully the book is written and enjoyed the immense detail the writer gave. The characters are strong, their personalities draw you in, and twists and turns of the plots made it hard for me to stop reading (to sleep or work, of course). I will definitely be looking forward to reading more in this trilogy and from this author.
Westward the Dream by Judith Pella, Tracie Peterson
3.0
I loved the characters and found them very easy to relate to. I was a bit disappointed at the ending, but I know this is a series so I would need to read on to find out what happens with the characters. At times the book lacked depth, I wanted to read more into the people and their thoughts/emotions. In addition, I felt like the timeline moved so quickly, I was left feeling like I missed things here and there (perhaps that is just because I love details so much). Over all, a great story and fun historic aspect. Would love to read more of the series to know what happens next.

This is an amazing story. I read the entire book in one day, I simply couldn't put it down. Incredibly well written, captivating, sad and yet full of promise. Highly recommend this book!
The Heart of Thornton Creek by Bonnie Leon
4.0
This was a lovely book! At first, the plot moved quickly and I felt like I was missing out on understanding the characters and their feelings. I found myself wanting more insight when all of the sudden, the book opened up to inside the characters' minds and became a truly wonderful read with well rounded characters. I look forward to reading more from this series as Bonnie Leon is a new favorite author of mine.
