Book Review: Rocky Mountain Promise by Misty M. Beller

 Rocky Mountain Promise by Misty M. Beller 4 Stars (Book 2 in the Sisters of the Rockies Series)

This book follows Lorelei Collins, sister of Juniper Collins from book 1. She has such a heart for animals, especially animals in need. In this story, we see Lorelei and her sisters on their ranch in the Rocky Mountain wilderness as she finds a buffalo calf without its mother. She brings it home to their ranch and soon realizes its a rare and sacred animal to the Native Americans, making it very valuable to them and the European trappers in the area. Many men come to the ranch for the calf, many with ill intentions. Tanner Mason, the owner of the new trading post, sticks around to help Lorelei by allowing them to stay at his post for safety reasons. Danger looms though, a bit too close to home....

If you like a good western romance, pick this series up! I think I enjoyed book 1 a bit more, as the pacing in this was a bit off for me, but I overall enjoyed it and love Lorelei as a character! I love a good character who loves animals and wants to help. She has such a beautifully compassion for them that is very honorable. Tanner was a nice guy who wanted to protect her - and we see Lorelei opening up to the idea of it! 

I also LOVE seeing the family relationship here with the sisters and seeing Juniper again was great! Overall, a solid western series that I have enjoyed following along with and look forward to the next one!

Thank you to Bethany House for providing a copy to honestly read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT!

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story. I was very invested in the audiobook narration and learning about Sylvia and Junietta's past. We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi...
