Terrific stories!,
By
This review is from: Oregon Brides: But for Grace/Everlasting Hope/Beside Still Waters (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
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.

Still on my mind....,
This review is from: Oregon Brides: But for Grace/Everlasting Hope/Beside Still Waters (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
I love both historical fiction and Christian fiction and this book (set of three stories) has stayed with me the last few days since I finished the last heart-wrenching story of the Riley family. I loved these stories so much that even though I have been a member of Amazon Prime for a long time, I have never taken the time to write a review. I highly recommend this book, and if you want more by the author I also LOVED the Claire series by Tracey Bateman. You can't go wrong here!

Nice read,

This review is from: Oregon Brides: But for Grace/Everlasting Hope/Beside Still Waters (Heartsong Novella Collection) (Paperback)
This book contains the stories of three separate Oregon women : Star, Hope, and Eva. The three are united by difficult experiences, trust issues, and the convenient location of the perfect man for them in their life when they are most in need. In the first story, "But For Grace," Star escapes from the saloon where her mother was employed, but is hunted by the proprietor who is determined to find her and bring her back. Next, "Everlasting Hope" tells of a widow who takes a wagon train to Oregon in an attempt to save her family. Lastly, Eva experiences a trauma and pushes away the ones she loves most.
This book was pretty much as expected: nice, dependable, a little predictable, but not bad. It's a comfort read more than anything else.
