<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The series
is entitled “London Beginnings” . <b><u>The Heart’s Appeal</u></b> is the second
book in the series. The story takes place in 1881 in London when women were
just beginning to take their place outside the home. Julia Bernay is determined to attend medical
school and become a doctor. The powers
that be do not want the school to succeed and have employed Michael Stephenson,
a up and coming young lawyer, to see that their law suit against the school
shuts it down. At the scene of an
accident Julia rushes to help the injured, one of whom is Michael Stephenson. He owes her his life and that makes it
somewhat difficult to continue the court case against her chosen medical school. The story of how he resolves this difficulty
is told with many interesting and surprising details. This is an excellent read with well developed
characters and historically accurate facts interwoven with a faith based
thread.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on the island of Neves in the Caribbean in the late 1700s. Keturah and her sisters, Verity and Selah, travel there from England in order to salvage their inheritance of a sugar
plantation after the death of their
father. The author has obviously
researched the history of the physical conditions of the island as well as the
condition of slavery at that time and provides detailed background descriptions
of what life was like in 1772. This is a
well written book with well developed characters. There is some romance but it is a side story
to the themes of wife abuse, male authority, and slavery. The faith of Keturah
grows with the hardships and results in a very satisfying story. </span></span></div>

the 1950s. It is a tale about a budding
romance between an ex-coalminer and the wealthy daughter of the local timber

and she is a spoiled dreamer. Through
their relationship, Judd Markley begins to see the true heart that beats within
this girl who dreams of helping the down trodden of Appalachia. Together they grow to depend on and
appreciate one another as each sacrifices a little of his/her own dreams in order
to form a new direction that satisfies them both. </span></div>

The story revolves around two wealthy and well educated sisters
from the city of Chicago in the late 1800s.
Their father finances their love of travel to exotic places such as
Israel and Egypt. The story begins in
1890 with them being stranded in the Sinai Desert and then quickly flashes back
to 1860 for the back story. Austin
expertly writes in this back and forth manner throughout the novel as the story
unwinds. Included in the adventures are
also the well developed characters of their young maid, Kate Rafferty and their
butler, Soren Peterson among others. Their unusual
adventures offer many surprises and their underlying faith in it all makes for a
solid and satisfying story.</div>

Peter, on the other hand, is anxious to disprove any connection to

loyal English citizen. Peter is distracted by his real secret and that is he is
a very successful writer of crime novels under an assumed name. More importantly, he is a man of deep faith

She is at the mercy of a crazed gunman and it isn’t all “fun and games”! The reader quickly learns that this is all

Britt. This unusual beginning sets the
stage for Nora’s meeting with the other main character, former Navy Seal John
Lawson. After John rescues Nora, he learns she is a genealogist and the
relationship begins ; that is, the working relationship. John needs a

Paris in the 1700’s. When she is falsely
accused of murder in the death of one of her clients, she must choose between jail or exile to the new French colony in the Louisiana. The historical background of the
French settling their new colony with convicts is unusual subject matter.
Author Jocelyn Green is up to the task and gives her readers a real taste of
what it must have been like – a lot of mud and mosquitoes! Besides choosing to avoid prison, Julianne is
also intent on finding her brother, Benjamin, who is in Louisiana with the
military and whom she has not heard from in two years. However, when she makes
the choice, she does not know it includes a forced marriage to another convict so
she must make the trip to the colony and establish a home with a stranger for a
husband. And this is only the beginning
of the adventure! This novel includes
mystery as well as romance and themes of forgiveness, sacrifice, and the
importance prayer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

That being said, it is important to read the books in order starting with <b>Undeniably Yours </b>, the story of the oldest of the Porter siblings, Bo Porter. Book two in the series is titled <b>Meant to be mine</b> and Book three is entitled <b>A love like ours</b>. <b>Her One And Only </b> is the final book in the series and while it is the story of the youngest of the siblings, 25 year old Dru Porter, it also very nicely concludes the story of Bo Porter and his wife and new born twins!

historical romance takes place in Missouri in 1885. It is a mail-order bride story with a
twist. Both Silas Jonesy and Kate Dawson
have tried that route and the results were disaster so they each have given up
on finding love. As Kate settles into her
chosen career as school teacher, she suddenly becomes guardian of her student,
Anthony Riverton, when his mother dies.
At the same time. Silas receives notice that Anthony is his son from his
short-time marriage to Anthony’s mother.
When Silas tries to get custody of Anthony, he is confronted by another
man who claims he is Anthony’s father.
It is up to Kate, with the help of the local judge, to sort this all out
while maintaining her loving relationship with Anthony. She feels neither man is deserving of
Anthony. This is a novel of tragedy and
trust, failure and forgiveness that keeps the reader enthralled with the twists

ancient Biblical story of Esther brings a new and refreshing look at the
circumstances that brought the young Jewish girl into the world of the King of
Persia. Each chapter of the book presents a look from either the perspective of
Hadassah (Esther’s Persian name) or that of the king’s eunuch, Harbonah. Using
this technique, Angela Hunt is able to craft a believable back story that keeps
to the tradition and beliefs of the time while weaving a moving plot of characters
that is able to hold the reader’s interest to the very end. This is an
excellent read, expertly written by one of our finest Christian fiction
authors. It is the first of the Dangerous Beauty series. The future books in the series will take up
the stories of Bathsheba and Delilah</span> This book was provided by Bethany
