So glad you loved them, too! <br /><br />I hope you enjoy Love in Disguise and With Every Letter as much as I did! I'm guessing you're a fellow fan of Christian historical romance, in which case I think you'd also really enjoy The Messenger and Bees in the Butterfly Garden! And if you read any fantasy or YA books on occasion, I truly loved those other books on my list and consider them fabulous reads, as well! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-78197725738478703902013-01-01T23:25:23.778-07:002013-01-01T23:25:23.778-07:00Loved your short summaries for each book.

I've read a couple of those, and they're among my favorites, as well -- Promise Me This and With Every Letter.<br /><br />I hadn't thought of posting my favorites, but perhaps I shall do that.

(Like how much I love historical romance, apparently, LOL!)<br /><br />I enjoyed seeing your list, as well! I read 8 from your list (I haven't read To Whisper Her Name or A Sweethaven Summer), and those 8 were really good! I especially enjoyed Veil of Pearls and Short-Straw Bride, and Love's Reckoning and Wildflowers from Winter were fabulous, as well!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-43799502403343211792012-12-29T13:55:54.509-07:002012-12-29T13:55:54.509-07:00Anne,

All those cheaply priced books, and it's so hard to stop getting more, LOL!
