Together with you by Victoria Bylin


Back of the book:

 When a Lost Child warning blares over the mall's PA system, Carly Mason finds the little girl playing with a stuffed rabbit. Something about Penny Tremaine is different. An ex-social worker, Carly recognizes that the child suffers fetal alcohol effects, and a piece of Carly's past suddenly confronts her. Never again will she become personally involved with a client. The risks are far too great. But something about Penny--and Penny's handsome father--tugs at Carly's heart.

Dr. Ryan Tremaine is trying to put his life back together. With his ex-wife remarried and on a trip far away, his two teenage sons and Penny are living under his roof full time. Ryan has put his faith in his Sink-or-Swim list, a plan to reconnect with his children. The first step: recruit Carly Mason to be Penny's nanny.

Ryan never anticipated being so drawn to Carly, an attraction Carly seems to fight as much as he does. Could Carly be the missing piece that helps his family stay afloat, or will their blossoming romance only complicate things further?

 This book was definitely an emotional roller coaster. It tugs at your heart for all the characters that are involved. Victoria Bylin did an amazing exploring emotions and pulling on the heart strings. This book was so amazing but I do have a hard time putting these emotions into words. Ryan struck me as a huge romantic at heart but that he was a little bit off hand emotionally until he met Carly. She made him live again. 

 I give this book 4 stars. It was a bit hard to read. I have never been as challenged emotionally. I plan to give this book on to some people who can use it too.

Murder on the Moor by Julianna Deering

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review as part of this book's blog tour.  ABOUT THE BOOK: Book:  Murder on the MOOR, A Drew Farthering Mystery Author:  Julianna Deering Genre:  Historical Mystery Release Date:  February 2017 At the urgent request of an old school friend, Drew and Madeline Farthering come to Bloodworth Park Lodge in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, a place as moody and mysterious as a Brontë hero. There have been several worrisome incidents around those lonesome rolling hills–property desecrated, fires started, sheep and cattle scattered. Worst of all, the vicar has been found dead on the steps of the church, a crime for which Drew can discern no motive at all. Few in the town of Bunting’s Nest seem like suspects, and Drew can’t keep his suspicions from falling on his friend’s new bride. Do her affections lie more with her husband’s money and estate, while her romantic int...

Who's your Anchor?

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to welcome you to my blog. Today we are going to be talking about anchors and who is your anchor during your hard times. Who do you rely on? Do you go running to a special someone? Do you run to God?  Has there ever been a time in your life where something you wanted didn’t go the way you wanted or even ended up being taken away? Have you ever looked up to the sky and say “Lord, I have no clue what you are up to now? How did that happen?” I want to tell you about a time when that has happened to my family and I. We have been through heck and back. This summer was a totally a chance to hang onto God, our Anchor and our Faith.  Some days there were  a lot  of questioning about where we were going to live, if we had made the wrong decision to move everyone up here at the time or to have people stay in Maryland. We just had to learn that God is into control no matter what.  We were in the process of relocating to Mi...

Her Small-Town Romance by Jill Kemerer

Image
I received this book in exchange for my honest review: From the back of the book: Finding Her Way Home Cozy Lake Endwell, Michigan, seems the perfect place for Jade Emerson's new T-shirt shop—and perhaps a fresh start. After a lifetime of letdowns, she is finally ready to face the future on her own. So when local wilderness guide Bryan Sheffield offers to help Jade overcome a past trauma, she warns him they will remain strictly business. But soon, with the help of Bryan's big, complicated family and a boisterous St. Bernard named Teeny, Jade's frozen heart begins to thaw. Now Jade wonders if she can return the favor, bringing a little happiness to a man who has long kept his own sorrow under wraps… My thoughts on Jill Kemerer Jill Kemerer is a new author to me which made me excited especially when she was giving away books in exchange for honest reviews because I love LOVE INSPIRED books. Why you might ask? They are clean romances that are good for the heart. I a...
