Book Review: Out of the Ordinary by Jen Turano

    Gertrude Cadwalader leads a most interesting life. Living as a paid companion to the peculiar

Mrs. Davenport, she struggles with more than her fair share of mishaps, miscommunications, and

missing items! Having given up hope of marriage, due to her unfortunate family history, she

chastises herself for developing feelings for the wealthy Harrison Sinclair. Though the two enjoy a

playful friendship, both assume that the other wants no more than to be friends. Through several

hilarious encounters, the two grow closer, but will they ever share their true feelings for each other?

    I thought this was a really cute book. It was hilarious in parts, and a very relaxing read. It was a

bit hard to get into since I had not realized it was part of a series, but after a few chapters I caught up

without having to read the other books. Once you grow to love the characters, there is no turning

back! Jen Turano has a way of writing that makes you laugh when her characters laugh, cry when

they cry, and blush when they get embarrassed! Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone

who enjoys a light-hearted, funny book with a robust vocabulary, this book is for you!

Book Review: Heart on the Line by Karen Witemeyer

 

In the small, female-only town of Harper's Station, Grace Mallory is working as a telegraph operator. Barely having escaped death, and a witness to her father being murdered, she now finds herself trying to stay hidden. Meanwhile, over telegraph, she becomes acquainted with the kind and gentle Amos Bledsoe. After receiving a message implying that Grace could be in mortal danger, he quickly travels to her aid, despite being the only single male in the town.

    This book was a very enjoyable read for me, although somewhat predictable. I thought the characters were all likeable, and it was an interesting premise. I have always been a big fan of Karen Witemeyer because she always has adorable stories, relatable characters, and she keeps her books clean. I would recommend this book if you like historical fiction, especially Westerns. Honestly, the majority of Karen Witemeyer’s books are such cute love stories. Though it was fairly predictable, it was still a really enjoyable read. Overall, I would recommend this book to almost anyone 16+. Enough suspense to keep you turning the page, but not so terrifying you can’t sleep after reading it. It’s a price you can’t beat, and a pleasant read, so pick one up if you enjoy reading!
