You silly! Besides the fu...The Goose (AKA Amanda),<br /><br />You silly! Besides the fun of teasing you (hence calling you "The Goose"), you are really not a goose! ;) I'm pretty sure that both Lieutenant Reed's are the same, and I'm so excited to read more about him!<br /><br />Happy to hear that I made your night. ;) I'm highly anticipating the next books in this series for sure! Doesn't the cover of Surrender the Night look fabulous? :D Definitely makes me want to read it even more! And I love the titles of these books--like Surrender the Night--and the title of the series, "Surrender to Destiny." LOVE them!!!<br /><br />Talk to you later!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-3050661830614788612010-09-08T01:50:55.515-06:002010-09-08T01:50:55.515-06:00MaryLu,
Your book is absolutely wonderful, as all...MaryLu,<br /><br />Your book is absolutely wonderful, as all of your books! I am so, so thankful for you sending me that personalized copy of the book--the message is such an great reminder of what's truly important in this life. <br /><br />I can't wait to read the rest of this series, and I just know Luke will be quite the hero! ;) Thank you for writing such encouraging, inspiring, and engaging books!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-1833765710483973062010-09-07T18:49:02.431-06:002010-09-07T18:49:02.431-06:00Amber!!! You GENIUS!!! I CANNOT believe I missed t...Amber!!! You GENIUS!!! I CANNOT believe I missed that about Lieutenant Reed!! OF COURSE he's the next hero- Lieutenant Alexander Reed in Surrender the Night!! There was something about him that I really loved, a depth, a kindness. And, I really enjoyed his interactions with Marianne. I just can't believe I missed the telltale signs of a hero brewing! And, I can't even count how many times I read the synopsis for that book, never even having the faintest clue! *blushing furiously* Goodness, I even pre-ordered it! Well, no matter- it's WONDERFUL news!!!!! <br /><br />Thank you, dear friend, for making my night :D<br /><br />Blessings,<br />The GooseAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-65526643173880656932010-09-07T18:42:11.038-06:002010-09-07T18:42:11.038-06:00Hey ladies!

What a wonderful review and I'm so glad you enjoyed the book... and hey, I guess Luke Heaton made quite a splash? :-) I've just begun to write his story and I can already tell he's going to be quite the an interesting character...in fact, like the rebel he is, he's already starting to take over my plot! <br />God Bless...MaryLu Tyndallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627854450199870544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-76301121291210301162010-09-07T11:32:46.032-06:002010-09-07T11:32:46.032-06:00Amanda,
Thank you for being happy for me--the swe...Amanda,<br /><br />Thank you for being happy for me--the sweet sentiments of a true friend! :D There was certainly no doubt that I would love the latest MaryLu Tyndall book!<br /><br />I love the way you describe her books: "it's almost like a devotional in a romance novel- but, never preachy, only ministering and identifiable." So true! <br /><br />I definitely share your excitement for the next two books! It's so fun to know that we'll get to meet practically all-new heroines, as they were only mentioned at the very beginning of Surrender the Heart. :) And yes, it will be great to read more about Luke! You know, I'm actually really excited about reading more about Lieutenant Reed (I think he's the same one who will be the hero in Surrender the Night). His character certainly intrigued me! <br /><br />I love that MaryLu has two new books out each year, so I don't have to wait TOO long between each book! ;) <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-90473921498406627582010-09-06T21:04:21.801-06:002010-09-06T21:04:21.801-06:00LOVE your review, Amber!! I'm so happy you fin...LOVE your review, Amber!! I'm so happy you finished it and so very happy you loved it- not that there was any doubt, with MaryLu holding the pen!! <br /><br />And, you're right, she knows just what we our heart wants, and just what our soul needs. I loved that Esther connection, too. She writes the Bible into her stories so effortlessly and perfectly, it's almost like a devotional in a romance novel- but, never preachy, only ministering and identifiable. <br /><br />Can't wait for book 2, and ESPECIALLY book 3 :D Wasn't Luke just AMAZING??!! Every time I saw his name on the paper my heart did a little flip *sigh* Can't wait to see how MaryLu is gonna write him!! The scar on his ear, his parents deaths, his grudge against God, his penchant for the ladies... we see so many layers to him and he didn't even have a POV in this book! Can't wait to see how all will be revealed, and witness his, no doubt, powerful conversion, AND, of course, how the beautiful Cassandra is gonna capture his heart so that it's beats for no one else, save God! Goodness, August 2011 can't come fast enough!!!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Amanda StanleyAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-31141155015127817892010-09-06T20:28:08.837-06:002010-09-06T20:28:08.837-06:00Renee,

She knows just what the reader wants and also what the reader needs to hear. :) I love her books, and I can't wait for Surrender the Night!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-67859817438408978582010-09-06T18:29:30.740-06:002010-09-06T18:29:30.740-06:00I have this to read!
