DESIGNED WITH LOVE by TRACIE PETERSON

Publication date 1/7/25

DESIGNED WITH LOVE is the second novel in the Hope of Cheyenne series by TRACIE PETERSON, but it can easily stand alone. It is a beautifully told story of the redemptive power of God’s love, with two lovely romances and wonderful characters, as well as some intrigue……

The tragedy that occurs at Emma Johnson’s wedding to Tommy Benton changes her from a rather shallow, fun-seeking, young woman, into a seeker of the truth. When she returns to Cheyenne with Tommy’s brother Colton and his sister Rosie, she has a strong desire to make amends for her rebellious youth…….

I love the way the godly people in Cheyenne, together with Emma’s new faith and his sister’s childlike trust in the Lord draw Colton, the dedicated businessman, to seek the truth for himself.

I cannot recommend this most enjoyable and inspirational novel strongly enough. 

I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

THE UNDERCOVER HEIRESS OF BROCKTON by KELLY J GOSHORN

Publication date 1/8/25

THE UNDERCOVER HEIRESS OF BROCKTON by KELLY J GOSHORN is the heartwarming story of two people of different social status joining together to help those affected by the horrific fire at the Grover Shoe Company in Brockton.in 1905. When firefighter Leo Erikson dances with heiress Henrietta Maxwell at the annual firefighters’ ball, although sparks fly, neither of them know what good friends they will become or just how much they have in common with their desire to help those in need as well as a shared faith in God. When Etta literally drops out of a tree on top of Leo, dressed in men’s clothing, with a skewed false eyebrow, he realizes that she is also a reporter for rhe Enterprise called Henry Mason ………

I love their sweet relationship, the ragging and support Leo gets from his firefighter father and brothers, and Etta’s determination to succeed in a man’s world.

There is heartache and betrayal, and of course the unavoidable hint of scandal…….

This is an emotional story told against the backdrop of heartbreaking loss.

I highly recommend the novel as a most enjoyable and inspirational read.
