Last Chance, California

I recently finished reading another book from Summerside Press, Love Finds You in Last Chance, California by Christian author Miralee Ferrell and LOVED it !! This well-written, entertaining story is set in 1877 and centers around a young woman who suddenly inherits a ranch when her beloved father dies. She's determined to be successful, but realizes she needs help. A young wrangler comes into town, along with his very young son, and is soon hired to work on the ranch. ~ Lots of action, mysteries, and a developing romance kept me turning pages. The way Miralee describes the characters and settings made me feel that I was actually "watching" the story....it really came alive for me, and I love that in a book! I can honestly say I was sorry to reach the end of this book - - I wanted to continue reading about these characters. ~ I highly recommend Love Finds You in Last Chance, California by Miralee Ferrell for a delightful, never-dull book!

Humble, Texas

I've recently finished reading another book from Summerside Press, Love Finds You in Humble, Texas by Christian author Anita Higman, and I definitely recommend this book. I enjoyed Anita's style of writing, and if I had to choose one word to describe this book, it would be: ENTERTAINING ! I was never "bored" while reading the story, and I especially liked the bits of humor Anita used in her characters' thoughts. Love Finds You in Humble, Texas tells a present-day story of two sisters who are in love with the same man. As I read I was never sure exactly what would happen next, which of course kept me reading and interested! Anita's characters are realistic, and the faith message is woven in throughout the story (without being "preachy"). The secondary characters are even interesting too, which made the story all the more a pleasure to read. ~ If you're looking for an entertaining Christian book, read Love Finds You in Humble, Texas by Anita Higman. Now I'm looking forward to reading more of the Summerside Press "Love Finds You" books, AND more books by Anita Higman!! : )
