Another Absorbing Tale

Revisado: 11-05-24

I loved this deep dive into a well-drawn fantasy world. Complex characters, intrigue and suspense made this a terrific tale to listen to. Can't wait for book 3!

Delightful Peek Into the USO

Revisado: 11-02-24

I really enjoyed this peek into what life might have been like in the USO, as well as this motley crew of characters that become more family than friends. Suspenseful at times, romantic at others, charming until the last page.

A Stellar Novel

Revisado: 10-26-24

I haven’t read fiction set in early Rome since Francine Rivers’s Mark of the Lion, because I doubted any could measure up to that series. I was wrong. This book had everything—historical detail, drama, romance, intrigue, and a spiritual message that will stick with me for a long time to come. I’ll look forward to reading more from this author!

Absorbing and eloquent

Revisado: 05-12-24

I loved this deep dive into a foreign world—that of a young woman fighting for her life, in and out of cancer wards. It made me value my relatively good health and life all the more, while empathizing with those fighting by cancer. Highly recommended.

Totally Satisfying Tale

Revisado: 10-30-23

I loved this beautiful love story set in the fictional land of Taletha. Somewhere between the heart-wrenching beginning of the Wife Market and the spell-binding ending, I became an Anna Augustine. And as a serious audio-book listener, I sincerely appreciated the skill of the dual narrators.

One of the Best Books on God’s Silence Ever

Revisado: 02-17-23

This book is worth the price for the last three chapters alone—although the beginning is strong too! I bought the print book after listening to it because I wanted to go back and underline so much. Don’t miss this one.

Such a great, immersive story...

Revisado: 10-25-20

Having been to Jerusalem three times, I'm loving Hunt's immersive story, illuminating so much of our lost history! She's true to history, but also, thrillingly, true to what's ahead...

Spending Time with Jen is a Delight!

Revisado: 05-29-20

I adore Jen Hatmaker, and have adored her since I read her book 7 and listened to her speak at If Conferences. Over the last years, she's been through the wringer, personally and professionally, after becoming vocal about justice and LGBTQ issues. Honestly, I’m still sorting out how I think and feel about all of that myself, but just as I’m never fearful about hanging out with people who aren’t in lock-step with me politically, socially and religiously (just like Jesus would do, if he were here today), I’m not fearful of reading books that might not be in total alignment with my beliefs either. I think it’s good for our brains and hearts to be challenged! And regardless of where we land, we can love and honor our sisters doing the same. Listening to Fierce, Free and Full of Fire was another delightful gift of a read. For me, Chapter 3, on body image, was worth the price of the book alone. All in all, I finished the book feeling refreshed and encouraged, like I’d spent time with an insightful, thoughtful, fun friend. And the audio book is a gem, with all sorts of fun, casual asides from Jen, as well as snippets from her podcast that enhance and add to the material. Recommended. —LTB

It's Been A Long Time Since I've Been Addicted

Revisado: 02-12-20

I can't remember the last time I'm loved a book so and then raced through others by the same author. Matthews is so adept at spinning her romantic tales of imperfect heroes, heroines with problems that need to be resolved, all in a page-turning way, that I'm now a Fan. Went from this to the next two in the series in two weeks. Anxiously awaiting book 4, which the author says will be out in April!
