The Guardian by Beverly Lewis

This is the third book in the series Home to Hickory Hollow.

This book was a about a teacher, Jodi Winfield, who is house sitting for her cousin in Lancaster, PA.  While out training for a half marathon she plans on running in Boston in the fall she comes across a small Amish girl on the side of the road. Returning the girl to her rightful family, she makes friends with them and they help her grow spiritually.
The book goes through her person trials of dealing with her loss of her sister and best friend and how she finds her way back to God.
I enjoyed this book as I do with all of Beverly Lewis' books.

I received it as a free book to review for Bethany Publishers

Gentleman of Her Dreams by Jen Turano

This was the cutest, cleaverest (is that a word?!), funniest book!!  I loved it!!! I couldn't put it down (good thing it wasn't a full length novel)!  It is my favorite read.  I cannot wait to read more by this author!  You have to read it!
It is about Charlotte who asks the Lord to show her whom to marry.  She has decided that the Lord told her to marry Mr. Beckette, a widower. Just after her 'revelation' her best childhood friend, Henry St. James, returns from sea and she enrolls his help to get this man to notice her.  Unbeknownst to her Henry left to sea to try to escape his love for her. She is quite unconventional and stirs up mayhem wherever she goes!
She is too hilarious!
