Becky Wade's 'True to You' Prize Pack and $100 Giveaway

About the book:

It's the exciting start of a brand-new series by a contemporary romance fan favorite!

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother.

The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

My Thoughts:

at first i thought i wouldn't like it when i got started but once i got a few pages in i really started getting into the story. at the same time its not like the previous novels from her i've read where i was instantly involved with the whole story. so on one hand it was good, on the other it just didn't grab me like previous novels.

i was provided this novel for review free of charge in exchange for my thoughts. i wasn't compensated in any way.

Cynthia Ruchti's 'A Fragile Hope' Blog Tour and Giveaway

About the book:

Hope grows when seeds are planted-even in the muddy middle of life.

Josiah Chamberlain's life's work revolves around repairing other people's marriages. When his own is threatened by his wife's unexplained distance, and then threatened further when she's unexpectedly plunged into an unending fog, Josiah finds his expertise, quick wit and clever quips are no match for a relationship that is clearly broken.

Feeling betrayed, confused, and ill-equipped for a crisis this crippling, he reexamines everything he knows about the fragility of hope and the strength of his faith and love. Love seems to have failed him. Will what's left of his faith fail him, too? Or will it be the one thing that holds him together and sears through the impenetrable wall that separates them?

My Thoughts: i've liked Cynthia Ruchtis books in the past so i assumed this one would be awesome as the others were. the writing was good and it did keep me interested but i guess maybe i just didn't like where it went or where it was going. granted i finished the entire thing pretty quickly. i just felt like it lacked something in the story and i hated how it ended. that part was unfortunate for me. all in all it was a good read. just not my favorite

i was provided this book in exchange for my review, i wasn't compensated in any way.
