EASTER PROMISES, two great stories in one book.

DESERT ROSE, by Lois Richer

The Desert Rose was a cute and unique idea for a story. Many scenarios tend to play out in story after story but for me, I have yet to read such a storyline as this. It was refreshing and well written.

BLUEGRASS EASTER, by Allie Pleiter

As always, Allie does not disappoint with her humor. Really, she has some of the greatest lines, always bringing a smile to my face or a chuckle from my lips. I loved Paul's story, and how healing occurred in his life. Loved the transformation of Audrey, and how though she didn't seem to be a "kid" person, was able to connect with Lily, helping to bring her and Paul together.

This review is from: Easter Promises: Desert Rose / Bluegrass Easter (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was captivated from the first. The very human characters in both novellas draw you right in. Some of the conflicts are standard, but the story has you pulling for Jayne and Ben (Desert Rose) and Audrey and Paul (Bluegrass Easter). Added joke: Audrey Lupine ("lupine" has to do with wolves) raises sheep for yarn! And she's rather OCD, which combined with a seven and three-quarters girl belonging to a widower who lives next door, makes for some hilarious interactions.
