Into The Whirlwind by Elizabeth Camden

Well done! I enjoyed how the author wrote the novel around the Chicago Fire of 1871. I could sense the events of the fire unfolding and people’s reactions were very realistic. I felt like I was there!

Mollie is a watch maker in Chicago.  Join her as she struggles to get the shop back up and running while learning many lessons. Zack is a lawyer who made it out of poverty with the help of Louis Hartman. As the great Fire starts Mollie and Zack must get to safety. Along the way they pick up a few people. Can they make it through the fire? Will the nightmares end? Can the 57^th Illinois Watch Company reopen and survive? Will Sophie ever find her family? Can Zack come to terms with his Polish heritage? Will they find the person responsible for an untimely death? Is Zack or Colonel Lowe the man for Mollie?

 

I read the electronic version of this book and once again there was a problem with the letter “f,” in various places throughout the text the letter would be missing.

I enjoyed this novel and am pleased to give it a four star rating.

Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck

Susanna is one that loves to have a plan for everything; even if that means staying in a relationship for too long. When Adam finally breaks up with her the whole Island is buzzing with the news. “I found the right ring but not the right girl”….ouch that hurts!

Nate has to adjust to changes coming his way. He doesn’t feel ready to be king, but when his father dies he must prepare for the coronation. While away on his last holiday he meets Susanna. Nate realizes nothing can become of the relationship…the Kingdom forbids him from marring a foreigner.

Can Susanna find God’s plan for her when nothing seems to be going her way? Can Nate move on and become King? Will he be able to change a law? Will Nate simply marry for the Kingdom?

I am pleased to give this novel a five star rating.

Blood and Bone by Don Hoesel

This is a great adventure, absolutely in-depth reading. I found myself concentrating throughout the novel. The depth of information given was astronomical. A lot of research was done to have this much detail. The depth of the main characters was well executed. I loved seeing how they were able to travel on the lamb; while gleaning more information necessary to recovering the bones of Elisha and securing the safety of their sons.

This is book two in a series. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded book one: Elisha’s Bones.

I am thrilled to give this novel a five star rating.
