Nicole and the Unending TBR

This book was absolutely perfect! I love a good brooding hero with a past. Cam is all that and a bag of chips! I loved the heroine of this books too. Arabella was so sweet, and genuine. I loved how her faith played into the story, it felt real and she was so relatable. I loved how gradually the romance progressed, you knew what was coming, but it grew at a really believable rate for who the characters were. And it has some truly great romantic moments! All the hype I heard is true! I loved the bit of suspense woven into the story, I loved the redemption, I loved it! Part of me is mad I waited so long, then another part is happy I saved it for a time I needed this kind of story! This is a great book!

Wow! This book had so much. It was one of those stories that makes you think, makes you reflect, and makes me rejoice in the amazing Author who is our creator. This is a great time split novel, it didn't work out like I thought it was going to, but where that usually makes me frustrated, this twist made me reflect on how God is in control and even though things don't always go the way we want them to, He is in control and He has a plan that is beautiful. Each of the characters felt so real, it didn't matter if the were in 1780 or present day. I cheered for then, felt for them, and that is what pulled me in. Though fictional, these characters reminded me that no matter what our future looks like, we can trust our Shepherd, we can follow Him.

With each book I enjoy this series more and more! I really loved this second chance romance! This story had a great redemption arch that drew me in and I just flew through this book! In this book we see Lilly,  and how the past has shadowed her present,  I felt drawn into the story wanting to discover what had happened and then how her and Josh were going to overcome.  I really appreciated the serious issues that they had to face in their past and their future.  Though this book deals with heavy topics it didn't weigh the story down, we still get the sweet romance that I have come to anticipate from Tara's books. I recommend this series to lovers of sweet contemporary romance! I recieved a copy of this book from the author.  My review is completely my honest opinion. 

Have I mentioned how much I adore this series?! I wait for each one of these books to come out, and each time the release day roles around I put every other book on hold so I can dive in.  And each time, gahhhhh! So worth it! This book I savored and read slowly.  This one is a bit more on the medium paced side. I found this book might be one of the most quotable of Tamara Leigh's books.  There were so many times that this book had those poignant, well placed lines, especially about answers to prayers,  pride and love. This book made me fall in love with these characters and we got to see the characters from previous books. Especially Dougray (wink). Oh and that ending........all the heart eyes!!!!!! Another win for the Age of Conquest!

I always know when I pick up a Laura Frantz book that I am going to get an immersive experience. This book was definitely that. You can truly feel transported to Pioneer era Jamestown when you read this book. I was trying to read this book in between Christmas and New years, so I was really distracted and didn't really get into the flow of reading until I was at the halfway point, but that was probably just because I had a lot going on. This book made me slow down and absorbe the beauty of the written word. I loved Xander as a hero, he was awesome! 4.5 stars I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the publisher. My opinions in this review are my own and honest.
