review 1: Just like the first book in the Belmont Series, I LOVED this book and could not stop reading it. I think I liked the love story in the first one a bit more, but not sure why. Tamera Alexander is one of the better historical fiction writers I've read. I love her detail and the fac...

review 1: I read this book for book club. I wasn't thrilled that we were reading a Christian Romance book because in the past I have found them preachy and with very little plot. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The writing is very good and the plot twisted and turned while ensnar...
