Book Review ~ A Case For Love by Kaye Dacus

Title: A Case For Love
Subtitle: Brides of Bonneterre Book Three
Publisher: Barbour Publishing, Inc.
Imprint Date: 2/1/2010
Author: Kaye Dacus

About the book:

The Alaine Delacroix that all of Bonneterre knows is the carefully polished image she puts forth every day on her noontime news-magazine program. When her parents’ home and small business is threatened by the biggest corporation in town, Alaine is forced to choose between her image and fighting for the life her family has built.

Lawyer Forbes Guidry is used to making things go his way. But when he’s asked to take on a pro bono case for a colleague, he’ll learn that he can’t control everything—including his feelings for his new client: Alaine Delacroix.

Alaine’s only option to help her family is hiring Forbes, but can she bring herself to trust the handsome, disarmingly charming lawyer? And will Forbes Guidry be able to make a case for love before losing his job and family? Can both trust that God will present a solution before it’s too late?

What I thought about the book:

This book was a wonderful follow up to the other 2 books in the series. I am hoping there is a fourth book to keep it going. Alaine is a very busy person and does not have much time for love in her life. But when she comes across a handsome man, things in her life start to change as do they for Forbes. Forbes along with Alaine are workaholics and in this book, their paths cross and never seem to seperate.

Lydia's Charm ~ Book Review

Title: Lydia's Charm
Author: Wanda E. Brunstetter
Subtitle: An Amish Widow Starts Over in Charm, Ohio
Publisher: Barbour Publishing, Inc
Publish Date: 9-1-2010

About the book:

Autumn is a lovely time of the year in the Amish community of Charm, Ohio, but ever since losing her husband, Lydia doesn’t feel at home in the community where she felt forced to move. When mysterious gifts start appearing on Lydia’s porch, could they be from a nearby widower? Or are they from someone else—a man who would sacrifice romance in order to care for his family perhaps?

What I thought about the book:

This is truly a book about giving. When tragic strikes, it leaves Lydia and her mother needing help, so Lydia moves in to help her mother out. Lydia and her mother seem don't see eye to eye, making living together a little difficult, but they make the best of it.

Wanda E. Brunstetter is such a wonderful writer. Once again as I read this book, I could feel what Lydia was going through. The Amish community is so forgiving and giving that it amazes me more with every book I read. This is a stand alone novel so you do not have to worry about making sure you get all the books in the series, which sometimes is nice but trust me, if you start reading Brunstetter's work, you will continue to get more and more of her books.
