Customer Reviews

Great read!!!

I loved this book and I highly recommend Tracey Bateman for any reader, but especially one who likes to see characters have real dialogue, real problems and real everyday faith. I did not like typical Christian romances and was turned off to the whole genre until I read her novels!!! Now I am cautiously exploring other writers who seem similar.

Terrific stories!

I have owned this book for four months and have already read it twice. It is full of everything a Christian romance should contain. I have to give Bateman great praise for her novella collection. As a reader of heatsong presents and the barbour novella collections, I have many books to compare this to. The biggest challenge with this type of book is that the writer is given only 130(ish) pages in which to develop characters and romance. It is difficult to manage and keep it believable. Bateman accomplishes this and much much more. She is able to create realistic, likeable characters, develop a romance that doesn't catch the reader totally off guard, and manages to weave in an element of intrigue or adventure. This is a collection of wonderfully inspiring, exciting, hope-filled stories that will keep the reader wanting more with every turned page. Tracey Bateman- She has a gift for historical fiction and I hope to continue seeing her books around.

Excellent Book

With each book, Tracey Bateman's writing seems to get better. I can't wait to read the next book she publishes.
