Book Review: A Convenient Heart by Lacy Williams



 


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 rough upbringing but really cared about her no matter what. 

This would be a good read for any Christian Fiction Historical Romance fan. 

I listened to a complimentary audiobook and all thoughts are my own. I liked the narrator too!

Book Review: Fearless by Lauren Roberts

Fearless by Lauren Roberts Book 3 in the Powerless Trilogy 3 Stars OK, let’s dive into the review! I have sat with this all day and I think I’m going to land on 3 stars for this one. Books 1 and 2 were solid 4 star reads for me, and while my experience reading book 3 felt like a 4-star moment....mainly because I was in that UNWELL STATUS and absolutely NEEDED to know what was happening....it didn’t quite hold up in the end. You know those "drop everything and read" moments? That was ME! Her writing is great and addictive - but looking at the book itself, it felt a little all over the place. The last 30% especially got kind of random and, at times, just plain ridiculous. I questioned some events going on that made me like...WAITTTT WHAT? HA! That said, I still had a blast with this series. It is definitely one that will stay close to my heart because I adored Kai and Paedyn so much. Love their romance and banter - it's what has made the trilogy for me honestly. Kai really ...

Vlog to come out Monday April 28th 7:00 a.m. central "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 The Voice We Find by Nicole Deese 5 STARS  Wow. Let's just say I have found another favorite book of 2025 and of ALL time. Nicole Deese tells powerful stories. Plain and simple. She is a top favorite of all time and I will forever recommend her books!
