A Pony Express Romance
A Pony Express Romance Misty M. Beller
A Christian Historical Romance Novel
After growing up as an orphan, Josiah English wants nothing more than to have his own ranch and raise Arabian horses. Riding for the Pony Express seems like the ticket to his dream. And when he meets the stationmaster’s beautiful sister, it seems he may be within reach of the happy life he craves.
Mara Reid is thrilled to finally meet the man of her dreams, and the fact that they both want to raise horses in the Sweetwater River valley seems like confirmation straight from God.
But when the Express shuts down and Mara's family home is in peril, the danger looming over Mara's life may not be half as destructive as that threatening her heart.

Beautiful, well-written stories that keep you engaged from page one!
I love stories about the time when the Pony Express was active. So excited to read this!
Leah is a wonderful resourceful character, the kind of strongwilled determined woman any lonely rancher can only dream of winning for himself. But Gideon is battling so many demons that he fears letting himself care for anyone ever again. His little sister and ol' Mose nicely round out the cast of this feel good story. We always knew how it would end but it's beautifully told and set in the beautiful mountains of Montana. I didn't need the too frequent reminders of God's plan for all our lives but the author's style is strong enough and engaging enough for me to ignore those references. A great story from an excellent writer.
I love a good murder mystery :D

The Letter: A Suffragette's Daring Deed Dianne Ascroft
Even a small deed may be a significant act to further a just cause.
July 1914: Encouraged by her city dwelling sister Rachel’s accounts of the growth of the women’s suffrage movement and the support it is receiving throughout Ireland, small town grocer and undertaker’s wife, Sarah Stewart decides to join a letter writing campaign, petitioning ulster unionist leader, Sir Edward Carson, to fulfil his 1913 pledge to grant women’s suffrage as part of plans for a provisional ulster government. But, even such a seemingly small act as writing a letter can have wide-ranging repercussions and should not be undertaken lightly. The rural community is unforgiving to those who misstep. Will Sarah find the wisdom to discern the right course of action and the courage to employ her knowledge?

In Her Dreams
In Her Dreams Joanna Reeder
I experience the memories of dead people while I sleep.
It's a curse. Because along with love and happy endings, I also get to experience heartbreaks, and sometimes even death. And I'm still expected to pass my midterms!
When I had consecutive dreams of Victorian-era Lucy (who just got engaged... eek!) I finally had an escape from the bad. And then I met Lucy's future relative, Andrew. *swoon*
Oh! and I met this new boy, Duncan, in my waking life and finally had a friend -- don't ask why I didn't have friends until him. Long story. And Duncan is easy on the eyes too... *sigh*
One night I changed the outcome of one of my dreams by accident and shifted my reality in a major way, so now I have to make some important decisions about choices and control. And what I believe is right.
