Two Awesome Romances

Home » Reading » Two Awesome Romances

In: Reading, Uncategorized on: September 25, 2014

Do you enjoy a good romance? I do! Historical or contemporary, doesn’t matter to me. I just need a hero and heroine I care about and a story that has some deep truths that are explored in the process. Lately I read two good ones I wanted to make sure you know about!

 

 

 

Love's Fortune by Laura Frantz

 

 

 

Laura Frantz is one of those authors that I’ve always enjoyed reading. But in 2012 she started in a new series, The Ballantyne Legacy, and her writing went to a whole new level. Love’s Fortune is the final book in that trilogy and I think it might be the best one, which is saying a lot! I love her use of language, the way she draws such amazingly human characters and how she draws you into a story and won’t let you go until it’s done. If you haven’t read Laura’s books, you should!

 

 

 

Somebody Like You by Beth Vogt

 

 

I recently met Beth Vogt, an author I’d heard a lot about. She gave me a copy of her latest contemporary romance, Somebody LikeYou. I started it on our plane ride home and could not put it down! I loved the realness of the characters, how they grappled with themselves and with each other, and that the story took turns I didn’t expect. Somebody Like You is a  wonderfully sweet but deep story that will definitely send me looking for more by Beth Vogt. You should check out her books, too!

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
