FIrst Date by Krista McGee is about Addy and her quite existence. She is more focused on getting into her college of choice than being on a reality show in front of way too many eyes watching. Unfortunately there are other hands at play and she is selected as one of the contestants for a date with Jonathan.

With lots of fumbling and not so shinning moments she becomes America's sweet heart. While also learning about herself along the way of this unexpected yet totally necessary activity. This was a cute novel but more for the young adult reader.

Review

Love Lifted Me by Sara Evans with Rachel Hauck is so beautifully written I cried at times and was angered at others but altogether it was a magnificent emotional roller coaster of a read. This is the tale of Jade, Max, and Asa. Jade and Max are married but what Jade doesn't know is that Max has an affair with a women obsessed with him that she would do anything to have and keep him, anything. Rice lies and it backfires, sadly this leaves Jade and Max broken and lost. Fortunately threw a few godly events they come together.

Jade with her unconditional love for Asa and a new job offering for Max. They have to cope with past indiscretions, lost trust, and abandonment all while creating a new life together. This is by far one of my favorite novels with the magical way I am transported into the lives of Jade, Max, and Asa.

Review

An Amish Wedding by Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, & Kelly Long was a pure enjoyment to read. Then again I may be biased because each of these ladies are my favorite amish writers. I loved this collaborative piece in which they told the amazing love tales of a group of ladies from one county. Each of the tales was inspiring and touching in the way they came to embrace God and a better understanding of themselves. If I were to go into detail of the relationships, I think I would give away to much of the goodness of the three tales. Read them you will not be disappointed.

The Christmas Note by Donna VanLiere is such a beautiful tale of one woman's self discovery and anothers forgiveness. As luck would have it these two women, Gretchen and Melissa, become neighbors and become reluctant friends. Both need each other more than either will admit. Fortunately they help one another in their time of need and come out more whole and closer.

Donna writes these ladies with such life that I can relate to them and have meet women just like these characters. They are believable and I really enjoyed that about these characters.

Review

The Realms Thereunder by Ross Lawhead was not my kind of novel. I tried reading it so many times I was so frustrated. I do not beleive it to be because of his writing, I just am not a sci-fi fan. I was expecting this to be a cross between action and thriller like. I was unable to get hooked into the story of pre-teens being sucked into an underworld. I believe if you like sci-fi stories this is perfect for you unfortunately not me.
