Where the Road Bends
Where the Road Bends? It bends quite suddenly, actually.
Did NOT see the early twist this book was going to take coming AT all.
In fact - I have to be honest - the first couple chapters, while enjoyable, had me a little bit like "thiiiis could take a while." It seemed like it was going to be one of those...THIS long of a book to say thiiis little bit sorta setups.
But no.
I literally turned a page and went...
Hold up.
Excuse me?
N-n-no you don't.
And then proceeded to devour the rest in short order.
Turns out it had a lot going more to offer than I originally judged, and I'm glad I was incorrect.
Heart. Charm. Healing. Growth. A little suspense. Romance. Friendships. A little Les Mis meets Love Comes Softly, and throw in Chip and Mrs Potts from Beauty and the Beast.
Highly recommend for a sweet but also unpredictable read.

The Lady of Galway Manor
The Lady of Galway Manor has a sweet premise and a lots of rich culture! I personally couldn't get involved in the story or character development as much as I like to, and I felt like there was some aspect missing, but it was a clean, gentle-paced romance with some important themes.

A Heart Adrift
"A Heart Adrift" is rich in culture, character, and romance, drawing readers in with the smell of chocolate in the air...the bite of a salty ocean breeze...and the undeniable pull of a greater cause wafting on both.
This was my first Laura Frantz read, and while the development was certainly never slow, I appreciated the gentle progression as the characters and plot grew and transpired naturally.
I found the entire thing cozy, vivid, and endearing; the themes, important...love, compassion, duty. hope, patience, and God's perfect timing.
Looking forward to further exploring this historical era as seen and told by Frantz.
Sincerely,
