Reviewing AGAINST THE TIDE by Elizabeth Camden

Reviewing AGAINST THE TIDE by Elizabeth Camden
You are in for a ride when the only English word you understand is "okay" and you're fed boiled tongue and pickled onions!  YES ... Later, while the heroine is a translator for the Navy, she meets this attractive, dashing and mysterious man who dazzles her with his wit.  As a reader, you will find yourself grinning with the intrigue and dialog.
    The author brilliantly shows how we have the freedom of choice about what sort of person we become, regardless of our background. She shows how Christianity affects every aspect of our lives.
    The author does an accurate and complete job of portraying the lies of an addict and the horrific struggles one goes through to be rid of an addiction.
    You will fall in love with the hero, fear for the heroine and suspense will move you to read yet another page.
    You will not be disappointed.  Best Christian romance novel in a long time!
I was given a free copy of this book from Bethany Publishers without any restrictions as to my review.  I highly recommend the book.

Reviewing UNENDING DEVOTION by Jody Hedlund

Reviewing UNENDING DEVOTION by Jody Hedlund. 
I found this to be an emotionally charged and well written story of logging towns and life in the 1880's in Michigan.  In particular, a town with a population of 2000 with 20 bars and few honorable men, except of course, for the 'hero' of the story.
   It was well researched and tells of home remedies popular in that era; ranges from two and four-legged wolves to rescuing wayward girls trapped in prostitution.  It is definitely a page-turner.  I was very impressed with the beauty in which it told of a mother's scriptural training of her son, and shows him how to flee temptations.  The hero/heroin of the story are referred to as the King of Patience and Queen of Rescues. Very appropriate.
   I was given this book to review from Bethany House Publishers and not required to give it any particular praise. I would recommend it for all ages.
