To Follow Her Heart by Rebecca DeMarino

I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I enjoyed the whole series. This is book 3 in The Southold Chronicles series but is a great book on its own.

What do you do when you return home to find everyone thinks you died when your ship sank? You find the love of your life and tell her you must leave again, right? Well, no that's not the way Patience Terry thought it would be when Capt. Jeremy Horton came back from the dead. Patience has been waiting - patiently - for Jeremy to make her his bride but something else apparently more important keeps getting in the way. Will she ever be his wife or will she get tired of waiting?

I enjoyed this book but I sometimes got lost in the history. There is a lot of history involved in explaining why Jeremy had to keep leaving and sometimes - not being a history person - I found it boring. But it never lasted long and I have to admit I did learn some history along the way. The author did a wonderful job of weaving the history into the story so the reader would understand the actions of the characters.

I recommend this book and the whole series. I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

No Other Will Do by Karen Witemeyer

Oh golly I enjoyed this book! It is one of those books that gets your attention from the first page and doesn't let go until the end and even then you want it to go on and on.

I haven'r read a book by this author I didn't fall in love with and this one is no exception. You understand the determination in Emma right from the beginning and it only gets stronger as she gets older. But what she didn't expect were the feelings for Malachi after 10 years of not seeing him. They have both grown but can childhood like turn into adult love? Oh the stumbling blocks to love can be many! Will Emma and Mal be able to overcome their fears to trust?

I know you will love this book as I did. I can't wait for the next book from this author.
