A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears

Melissa Jagears does not disappoint in her newest book! This book is full of twists and turns that keeps the reader turning pages. I had a hard time putting this book down.

Lydia King is caught between a rock and a hard place. She is being forced to marry - if she ever accepts his proposal - a wealthy politician but her heart is being tugged in another direction. Frustration is not the word as she tries to do her future mother-in-laws bidding by securing a donation from the wealthiest man in town who has a reputation for being a miser. The surprises don't stop for Lydia as she is constantly in awe of all the things Nicholas does that no one knows about. Can this man really be all the rumors say he is? She is just not sure.

This book is a must read and one I highly recommend. I was given a copy by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A Beauty Refined by Tracie Peterson

You know that book you find excuses to keep reading? Well, this is that book, or at least one of them. I kept finding excuses to sit down and read just a "few" more pages. I can honestly say I was sorry to see the book end but really there was nothing left to say, at least in this book. Now if the author wanted to continue with this family that would be okay too! There are more stories here!

In the beginning of the book I did not like Phoebe too much. Spoiled, pampered, and oh so proper. By the end of the book she had come to life and I really enjoyed watching her transform into someone I liked very much. Now Ian, I liked him from the beginning. Down to earth, hard working. But the one who stole my heart was Kenny. You will see why. Each character in this book is well defined and explained. The author does a wonderful job of making her characters come to life. And the story! Oh boy what a story! It will keep you turning pages I promise!

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Bethany House Publishers and Tracie Peterson for a wonderful and highly recommended book
