| Cross My Heart by Robin Lee HatcherWhat it is: a dual timeline novel that weaves the main story, a contemporary romance featuring five-years-sober Ben who teams up with horse-lover Ashley to create an equine therapy barn, with the 1940s tale of Ben’s great-great-grandfather and his son who went to war.
Why you might like it: the equine therapy details; the themes of redemption and second chances; the realistic look at addiction.
Series alert: Though this is the 2nd Legacy of Faith novel after Who I Am With You, both books are easily read on their own. |
|
| The Enlightenment of Bees by Rachel LindenWhat it's about: After a terrible week in which her boyfriend of six years dumps her and she loses her job as a baker’s apprentice, 26-year-old Mia West agrees to go with her roommate on a humanitarian trip, funded by a reclusive billionaire, that takes her to India and Hungry.
What about the bees? Mia's dreams often include honeybees and they are a continuous motif throughout the richly detailed romantic novel. |
|
| Wherever You Go by Tracie PetersonStarring: Mary, a talented sharpshooter in the all-female Brookstone Wild West Extravaganza who wants to bring her brother's killer to justice, and Chris, a journalist with a secret who's covering the show.
What happens: The two fall for each other as they travel from Kansas to England in 1901 in this entertaining, well-plotted historical romance.
Series alert: This is the 2nd entry in the Brookstone Brides trilogy; the 3rd, What Comes My Way, is out in October. The books can stand alone, but reading in order will enhance the experience. |
