The Captive Heart by Dale Cramer

I received a copy of this book for review purposes from Bethany House Publishers.  I am under no obligation to write a positive review, just an honest one.






 This was my favorite kind of story...an Amish story! I don't know what it is about the Amish lifestyle that fascinates me but I just love books with that theme. This one was about an Amish community who recently moved to Mexico and are trying to settle. But the Mexican native bandits arent too kin on this plan. Young Miriam finds herself in a bit of a pickle. at the age of 19 she is starting to be considered an old maid since she has yet to marry and is running our of time to find her a husband. This all changes when Micah comes to Mexico from Ohio to join the community, but Miriam's heart belongs to someone else ....Domingo a Mexican....what will Miriam do? 

A Wedding Invitation by Alice J. Wisler

I received a copy of this book for review purposes from Bethany House Publishers.  I am under no obligation to write a positive review, just an honest one.

 This book was a cute story about Samantha who accidentally found herself at the wrong wedding , this accident lead to some major changes in her life and connecting with old friend and maybe even a second chance at love.  I felt this story was a little slow to get started and it jumped from past to present wasn't as transitional as it possible could have been. But all in all it was a cute story and worth your read if you have time.

Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin

I received this book from the publishers in exchange for this review.







This is a book about finding your purpose in life. Self-centered  librarian Alice Grace lives in Illinois, she always has her nose in a book and lives in a dreamland and often misses what is going on in her "real " life when she looses her job she needs to find a purpose and something to do she delivers a donation of books to a deprived town in Kentucky, Acron . Once in Acorn , Alice gets a taste of reality and soon learns that she was indeed caught up in the book world and had no idea what living was. She has real life adventures and problem solving.

I really enjoyed this book, I had trouble putting it down at night and found myself totally wrapped up in the story. It sometimes seemed that it was a little over the top.But all in all it was a good time, laugh a little book.
