These Empty Places

 

These Empty Places by Sarah Loudin Thomas is a slow paced interesting novel. 

Claire and Lena have experienced hardship. The story is about the strength and friendship of these two women and how they moved past the hurts. They learn to love and make choices that shape their lives. It's about courage and forgiveness. Beautifully written characters. Ms Thomas describes the time period and places so well. She is a master storyteller as evidenced in this novel. Clean and faith fulled.

I received an e- copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Manhattan Confessions

 

The Manhattan Confessions by Jocelyn Green is a Christian historical romance set in New York City in the late 1920's.

Ivy Malone is a librarian with the New York Historical Society. She has a passion to preserve the history of early New York. When wealthy socialite Adeline King anonymously shares her life story with Ivy, she must keep Adeline's identity secret. Which ends up becoming a burden to Ivy.

Tom Lightfoot tries to protect Ivy as those who would invade Adeline's privacy become bolder, putting Ivy in danger. Ivy's Italian cousin Gina becomes entangled in sinister dealings as she tries to legally immigrate to the US. 

The characters were well developed. The story was gripping and engaging.  Clean, faith filled romance between Ivy and Tom. This is the best book written by Ms Green in my estimation. It was hard to put this one down.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Chasing the Clouds Away

 

Chasing the Clouds Away by Debbie Macomber is a delightful romance novel. 

Maisy Gallagher gives up her dream to study to become a nurse after the death of her father. The family pulling together to make everything work. But hard as they try, it doesn't seem to be working.

Chase Furst, an arrogant self focused banker, meets Maisy at the Chicago airport. He is rich and thinks money can solve anything. He is on the way to make arrangements for his mothers funeral. But his whole life changes after meeting Maisy. 

This whole story flows so beautifully. From the meeting, to the clash of their different worlds, to the blossoming of romance. The characters were well developed and the story well written. A clean, uplifting, faith based read. Could not put it down. Perfect for something hopeful and heartwarming. 

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
