Book Review: How Can It Be? By Kelli Galyean

Image
How Can It Be - Kelli Galyean 4.5 Stars  What a powerful story of redemption in Christ. Mia and Ryan had a relationship together many years ago in college, before they were living for the Lord. Soon after, Mia learned she was pregnant and her parents, being "politically important" figures, forced her into having an abortion. 10 years later, Mia has found healing and embraced a new life in Christ. She goes to church one day and sees the drummer in the church band is none other than Ryan, from all those years ago. He has no idea what happened back then. Seeing him sturs up so many emotions and traumatic feelings from her past mistakes. They end up growing closer, discussing things and the rest is history as they worked through this together.  This was a really good second chance romance that was filled with church, faith, redemption and healing in Christ. This reminds us how nothing is too big for the Lord. He can redeem all things.  I loved these characters had full, deep ...

Book Review: An Unconventional Lady by Sarah E. Ladd

  An Unconventional Lady  Sarah E. Ladd  3.5 - 4 Stars Rounded Up on Goodreads Pub Day: February 10th, 2026 This was a clean, regency romance that combines historical romance, science and sweetness all into one.  I think if you like a good period drama or books by Julie Klassen, you will enjoy this one! Ella is our main girl who immediately stands out. She is outspoken, independent and a very refreshing take on your typical regency lead. She was brought up in a home devoted to natural philosophy and with the truth behind the rumors about her late mother... she really wants to clear her mother's name. We see a world of something I had never heard of before "phrenology" and I think that adds a layer of a lesser-known aspect of regency-era science to the book. She meets Gabriel, her childhood friend, who is to find a runaway girl linked to the same phrenologist speaking at the symposium. They go back to Keatley Hall and things unfold as they join forces to expose the ph...

Book Review: A Convenient Heart by Lacy Williams

Image
  A Convenient Heart by Lacy Williams 4 Stars  Book 1 in the Wind River Mail-Order Brides Series I listened to the audiobook of this one and I thought it was really good! Merritt is a school teacher and she is ready to get married. She answers a mail-order bride ad and is anticipating the groom's arrival on the eve of Christmas. The man who steps off the train, Jack, is not the man she was expected to arrive.  This was set in the late 1800s in a small town in Wyoming.  I loved the characters. Merrit was great and really cared about her job. She was easy to root for. She is labeled a spinster and tired of waiting for the magic to happen for her love life. She doesn't want to have to leave her students and seeing her really try to make every effort to help them was so good. This case of mistaken identity with Jack really provided a good opportunity for them to meet and fall in love. The faith elements were good too, pointing to God's plan for their lives. Jack had a ro...
