Possibilities by Debra White Smith

I have read one other Persuasion adaptation and one movie version. 
I have yet to read the original Jane Austen. 
I thought this was a sweet story about fighting and hoping for love no matter the odds. 
I love the theme of second chances. I enjoyed the tension of how the characters both had to overcome their insecurities and be bold.
I liked the parallels that were made with the original story line.
There were parts that I feel the romance kind of lagged a bit.
However it had a sweet ending. 
While not my favorite adaptation of this story,  it was enjoyable.

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.

Shield of the Mighty

My favorite in this series so far! I absolutely loved Zevi, seeing him go from the youth in Between the Wild Branches to the hero in this book was fantastic! I loved the sparring with him and Yochana and the tension between them, even when they were at odds. I loved the action and political intrigue in this story. It almost reminds me of what it feels like to read ancient Scottish tales, with all the feuding clans. The insight and the way CC brings to vivid life ancient times is truly remarkable. The romance was well paced and I loved seeing how these two people went on this unforgettable journey this is this book. And of course the mystery thread that began in book one was touched on and eagerly awaiting the next story from this author that brings the Biblical world to life like no other. . I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the publisher through Netgally. All thoughts are honest and completely my own.
