Truly A Five Star Read



It's not too often I honestly don't want to walk away from a book to do my everyday things, but with "A Borrowed Dream" that is exactly what happened. Their were just too many things I wanted to see resolved, so I ended up taking a lot of breaks throughout my day to get the answers to my questions. Between laundry, dinners, and the many requests for a sippy cup to be refilled I found the time to finish the book in record time.

Amanda Cabot works wonders with any book she writes. I read the first book in this series, and it was great and this second installment did not dissapoint. It follows a young woman named Catherine, a widowed father named Aaron, and his daughter, Hannah. (I bet you don't know who's going to end up together.) ;) Aaron comes to town with a trunk full of secrets, and Catherine can sort of see through that and yet, she is slowly falling in love.

I loved the aspects of mystery, romance, danger, and adventure that were written into the book, and it is a book that I can truly say I really loved. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in the series, because I know Cabot will have another wonderful read for me.

*I received this book for free as part of the Baker Publishing Group Blogger Review Program, but my opinions are all my own.

    I suppose I should apologize for the fact that A Borrowed Dream disrupted your normal life, but of course I'm not going to do that. There are few things an author likes more than to hear that her book was hard to put down. I'm delighted that you enjoyed Catherine and Austin's story so much.

Phoebe's Light

Suzanne Woods Fisher has always impressed me with her writing, and "Phoebe's Light" did not disappoint. The book follows a young Quaker woman named Phoebe, back in the mid 1700's on Nantucket Island. The Quakers are a part of history that I do not know too much about, and this book gave me a bit of insight that I always love from historical fiction. If a book can surprise me and not end up with what I assume is going to happen, I am always overjoyed and this book did that for me. The ending was what I had expected, but the middle did throw me for a few loops that I truly enjoyed. My only complaint would be that I wish their may have been a bit more romance between the two main characters, but all in all it was a very good book. The second book in the series will be released this summer, and I am already anticipating it. We got to read the first chapter at the end of this book, and I'm pretty sure it will be just as good, if not better, than "Phoebe'...
