I was given the opportunity to review these two titles for this Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing blog tour:
Beneath a Southern Sky by Deborah Raney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For those who follow my reviews or know me personally, you know that I am not a big fan of romance fiction and that I try to be very careful of what novels I do read. So imagine my delight when coming across this jewel in a simple "Value Fiction Blog Tour"!
This story is riveting as you witness the unthinkable happen to a young missionary widow who is both grieving for her husband and celebrating the new life of her daughter. I really enjoyed this tale of tragedy and God's amazing grace and strength to live through the hardest moments a human can imagine.
Due to a few reference remarks, I personally would only recommend this book to adult women and not teen girls.
Yesterday's Promise by Linda Lee Chaikin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Yesterday's Promise is the second book in the East Of The Sun trilogy and yet it is possible to read it as a stand alone and still enjoy the story. Set in the 1800's, it's the story of aristocrat Rogan Chantry and Evy Varley and their love that is separated by mystery, blame, and intrigue until finally the truth sets them free. The plot is thick, the mystery deep, but if you enjoy historical romance and suspense this is a good read for a great value.
