Pharoah's daughter by Mesu Andrews

This book took me on an unforgettable journey into ancient Egypt!
I felt as if I was fully immersed it the culture and intrigue of the time.
This book covers years of time surrounding a character we don't know much about.
I usually don't get into books that cover such a span of time. I don't think I connected fully with the main character's perspective at times, but it was a very well written book. It is really a n amazing look into the Egyptian culture and I learned so much from this book.
There were parts that I thought were a bit convenient for the plot just to wrap the story up and then the author mentioned the Bible verse for her reference and I was blown away with a detail that I had never noticed before!
Seriously, I was taken by surprise!
I love it when that happens!

Undercurrent of Secrets

Okay this is officially my favorite Rachel Scott McDaniel book yet! This book is a split time that is so well balanced between the past and the present. I loved the light thread of mystery and the contemporary just was so good. I loved the romance in both time periods. There were some absolutely adorable and swoony scenes in both that just was my favorite parts of this book. I loved the setting of the riverboat! So interesting how the author used an actual boat for the setting and so you get that peek into the lives of people who lived the riverboat life. If you want to feel transported grab this one, it's a gem. Thanks to Netgally I received a complementary copy of this book. All opinions in this review are honest and my own.

To Believe in You

I had seen this author's books floating around on Instagram and jumped at the chance to grab one on Netgally. Yes, I started with the last book in the series. It in no way lessened my enjoyment of this beautiful story. I love stories of people who get second chances. I love the opposites attract trope. And I love a strong redemption arc. This book had all of that. The author crafters characters that have their own flaws and struggles. I loved the hero. Though wounded and scarred from his past mistakes, he was lovable and I couldn't help but root for him. I loved his protective nature as well. Always here for the protective hero. The heroine is the opposite of him in many ways, and yet she was so relatable to a fellow rule abider like myself. I loved the way each character had to work through their struggles. In some ways I wished to see them work together through some of those things. Yet the story was so satisfying and tugged in my heartstrings a few times, inspiring all the f...
