Book Review: Song of My Heart by Kim Vogel Sawyer



Sadie Wagner has the perfect opportunity. When her stepfather is horrifically wounded, she must figure out some way to earn money for her family’s support.  When she receives a letter with a job offer from her favorite cousin, Sid, she decides to take a job as a clerk in Goldtree, Kansas. When she is forced into more than she bargained for at work, as well as starting to fall for the ruggedly handsome sheriff, she questions if it was really God’s will for her to be in this small, cute town. When she accidentally discovers illegal activity, she must choose whether to do what is right, or forsake all hopes of supporting her family.
I ♥
·         The characters. As always, Kim Vogel Sawyer does not disappoint.
·         The plot.  So that I do not give it away, I’ll just say I loved it immensely.
·         Thad Mckane. Yup.
·         The detail. Kim is fantastic at building detail. Really.

I didn’t ♥
·         Actually, there was nothing about the actual story I disliked. Just at the end I had a little confusion about a certain gunshot.
Overall
I would say this book is a fantastic read for anyone who likes historical fiction. The setting of the story takes place in an area reminiscent of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (one of my favorite shows) I would say a perfect book for ages 15+. This would be a perfect book for your to-read list!

Bethany House Publishers gave me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Book Review: The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck -By Kathleen Y'Barbo



     What does one do when they are in absolute financial ruin, forced to either live on the streets, or face an even more difficult decision? The obvious choice would be to get married...to the most annoying, irritating person on the planet. This is the situation Alexander Hambly is faced with. What if you are a prominent young lady, in the nineteenth century, who wants to go to college? This is the troublesome happenstance of Charlotte Beck. Alex and Charlotte can barely stand each other as acquaintances, much less as husband and wife. Kathleen Y'Barbo tells the sweet, innocent, and mischievous love story of Alexander Hambly and Charlotte Beck.
     This book was delightfully surprising, absolutely adorable in all the right parts. I loved the plot,
and I fell in love with Alexander Hambly! It was one of those books you can't quite put down :) I loved how innocent it was, a very non-graphic romance novel if I do say so myself. I love romance novels with just the right amount of sweetness, love, and innocence mixed in. Overall, I believe that Kathleen Y'Barbo overdid herself, and I am looking forward to reading some of her other books, and I would reccomend this book to anyone ages 13+. Don't forget to Read Chapter 1!



Sincerely,
Libbi H.

P.S. If you would rank my review, that would be wonderful!
