Publisher's Summary:

Decades after being banished from Heaven for saving a life he shouldn't have, Lash is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran, a young woman who has lost her faith. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when his superiors, the Archangels, withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash's powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning to Heaven, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all - his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe. Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his faith - in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can't bear to lose.

Not as good as I expected

What disappointed you about Lash?

Well this book had a good premise it didn't follow through there were a lot of potholes I found and something that the authors soon and that I knew that I really had no idea it's better I would rather listen to somebody explain something a couple times throughout the book then not no I did not care for the ending where the angel in the girl shacked up together to meet it just seems wrong

What was most disappointing about L. G. Castillos story?

The fact of the fallen Angel was engaging in sin

What does Maren McGuire bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I like your voice breach character

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

YA Angel Romance

This is probably a good book but it is a YA but that is not a genre I particularly like. The lack of bookie nookie and all. Anyway I like the fallen angel storyline

Finally the story is complete .

What would have made A Vow for Always better?

If the 6 books was one.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I loved this book and will read all of Wanda's books !!!

Any additional comments?

These books are great for the soul...

A Vow Forever

Awesome!! All around wonderful book!

Narrater was Great as well!

I recommend this book! Great story the whole way to end!

Corney

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I'd change the ending. It was abrupt and seems like it was rushed for the deadline.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The trail you were led on in reuniting the two protagonists.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Heather Henderson?

Not an Amish book. I think you should practice the dialect of ANY individual or culture. Heather kinda have a youthful voice.

Did A Vow for Always inspire you to do anything?

Take time in making major decisions in relationships. Don't let the sun go down being angry at someone.

Any additional comments?

This series was not Wanda's best writing. It just seemed rushed. I was also disappointed because this series could have been one book, easily.

Karen and Val are family - yet they're anything but close.

But Val had darker reasons for leaving town - as well as a secret to keep - and coming home has never been an option...until their mother suffers a stroke.

Reunited in their hometown, Karen and Val must grapple with their past mistakes, their relationship with each other, and their issues with a mother who is far from ideal. When a physical therapist raising his daughter alone and a handsome but hurting musician enter the picture, the summer takes on a whole new dimension. As their lives intersect and entwine, can each learn how to forgive, how to let go, and how to move on? And strengthened by the healing power of faith, might they also find the courage to love?

Members Reviews:

Great read!

Enjoyed the way the lives of the people were woven together. Engaging story based on real life struggles.

Preachy

This book should be under Christian fiction. It is very preachy. Not my genre, buyer beware, you may not be getting what you thought. However if you do like Christian fiction then this is for you. She is a good writer and the narrator did a nice job.

Another excellent book by Irene Hannon

Would you listen to That Certain Summer again? Why?

Yes, the story flowed well between the two main characters and their potential love interests. Although there was romance, I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters more than courtships.

What was one of the most memorable moments of That Certain Summer?

The most memorable moment was the mother's letter to her unborn child that Val read at the rehearsal. Abortion is a key issue that Irene Hannon deals with in a sensitive manner.

Which scene was your favorite?

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book. The scene when Val met with the minister and finally began to forgave herself was especially touching.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Captivating story that kept me wanting more

I loved, absolutely loved the entire story. The Wednesday Letters hooked me from the start. I also read the Proposal Letter: A bridge novella ( The Wednesday Letters) before The Wedding Letters. These books could have been a series of books. I almost felt like I was part of the story. I was a little saddened when I got to the end of The Wedding Letters. It was wonderful and magical. Honestly, I did not want the story to end. Now I am left to wonder what happened next. I fell in love with the characters - they could have been reAl people. Awe inspiring story. Looking forward to reading more of Jason F. Wright's stories.

If you could not get enough of the Wednesday Letters...PIck up this book fast!

The Wedding Letters is the sequel to the Wednesday Letters. Do not read this book if you have not already read the Wednesday Letters. It will totally ruin the Wednesday Letters secrets for you.

This is a cute love story, that at times is a little hokey, between Noah and Rachel. Noah is the son of Malcom from the Wednesday Letters. It is very predictable and cute. A good beach read. Why did I give it four stars? Because I could not put it down. I had to skip ahead to read the ending, and then read it straight through again. I cried at the end, something that does not happen often.

This would also be a good book for parents to have their teens read. The main characters, Noah and Rachel, have good Christian values. Their relationship is pure and innocent. The book mentions God and spirituality often. This book is a good example of how sweet physical love can be if you wait.

Five Stars

A great continuation for "Wednesday letters"! To see how overcoming life's challenges can achieve happiness well deserved.

There's power in a handwritten letter!

This was a sweet sequel to THE WEDNESDAY LETTERS. It conveys the volatility and fragility of new love as well as the haunting spectre of a past secret.

Terrible Narration detracts from story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Narrator should be female. It was like listening to a documentary!

What did you like best about this story?

Unusual and substantial subject matter. PTSD is not something that is usually part of romance novels.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Steve Olsen?

Any female. Steve Olsen had a nice speaking voice but definitely not suited for romantic fiction, more for National Geographic.

Do you think Hidden in the Heart needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not really. The story itself was good though and I would definitely consider another book by this author worth my time.

so-so narrator

narrator was a bit wooden in his reading, but not so much that I couldn't still enjoy the book in audio form.

great christian book

I loved this book. it is how a group of people become a family and actually come to find they are family..an unwanted baby becomes part of that family...along with some other discoveries that help round out the discoveries.....no illicit sex....yeah!!!

Forgiveness

Unforgiveness can block our blessings from God. Beautifully presented in this book. Thank you for the example for life application.

A cute story

What made the experience of listening to The House that Love Built the most enjoyable?

I liked that they eased into their relationship, two people with issues but they also saw that they were two people that needed each other. I liked that they focused on their friendship first.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The House that Love Built?

When Brooke's son tells Owen that she has issues and wanders the neighborhood lost because she can't find her way home. Then tells him she has red spots with "stuff" leaking out. Followed real quickly with Owen trying to help her find her way home.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did. I sat in my driveway for two and a half hours just to finish it.

Any additional comments?

It just made me happy. They dealt with their issues and weren't overly stupid about their emotions in the process.

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes it takes a stranger to see you as you really are. Born and raised on sprawling Texas land, Margaret O'Brien prides herself on her competence as a rancher. But her father believes she's made for more than just dawn-to-dusk work. He wants her to have the love of a good man, to raise children, to build a life. But Margaret gave up such dreams years ago. She's convinced no man would have her, that the ranch is her life now.

So when Margaret's father hires Daniel Cutler as a new foreman, she's frustrated and suspicious. Then an overheard conversation links him with a gang of bank robbers, and she's downright worried. Daniel swears he's not involved, but Margaret's not convinced. She knows the man still has secrets. But would a criminal be so kind and talk so convincingly of his faith?

As a series of tragic "accidents" threatens all she holds dear, Margaret must decide what to trust: her own ears, her best judgment...or what her heart keeps telling her.

From the author of the best-selling Blue Moon Promise...an exciting tale of danger, romance, and faith played out under Texas stars.

Critic Reviews:

"Romantically tense, but with just the right touch of danger, this cowboy love story is surprisingly clever - and pleasingly sweet." (USAToday.com for Blue Moon Promise)

Members Reviews:

Awesome story!

Wonderful story! I loved it! Worth it! Get it!! :)) It's one of my absolute favorites!

Ruined by the narration

This may be a good story, but with this narrator it is horrible. Most of the male voices sound more feminine than the female voices. I just couldn't get past it.

Members Reviews:

I wish there were a sequel. Very inspirational!

Very touching. Clean and cute. Believable. I liked the little boy and the college age daughter. Itwas religious without being sanctimonious.

The Gift Review

Loved the story of the boy and the horse. But the love story between man and woman that was woven in took away from that in my opinion. However, if you like love stories, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Simple boring story

I bought this book because of the reviews.. Unfortunetly I disagree with such great reviews. At first I thought this was going to be an inspirational story, but right when I thought it was going to start getting good it ended just like that! Like the author ran out of time and cut it short! Very disappointed!
