Can Celia turn to God to show her the way?



My Review:

This is my first book that I have read of Becky Wade's. Her books have always interested me so when this book became available on net galley I jumped on the chance to get the opportunity to read this book. This book did not disappoint at all. It had three things that I love most in books: faith, family and romance!

I thought Becky did a great job of developing the main characters from the start of the book. You were truly able to understand the back story of their relationship and what made them the way they had become. I also liked that she didn't hold back on what life would be like for Celia after she got pregnant and what she had to give up. It made the story more realistic and more believable.

In addition, I also liked how Becky developed Celia and Ty's love story. It was romantic and sweet at times but also heartbreaking at others. As a reader I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time because you truly didn't know how the story was going to end.

The only thing that I would have changed is to maybe have more brought in about the daughter Addie. I think that she did a good job of showing the relationship between Addie and Ty but I thought their story could have been given more space in the book.

Defiantly would recommend this book to others.

Lovestruck in London by Rachel Schurig

Lovestruck in London Review 

Lizzie Medina has always dreamed since she was a little girl to go to London, England. Not just because she is named after the main character from Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennett but she has always felt a pull from there. Fortunately she has convinced her parents to let her study abroad with her best friend Callie for a year. The only condition is that once it is over she will come back and start teaching at one of the local schools in Michigan. 

After arriving in London with Callie, Lizzie is worried that London will not be as awesome as she thought it would be. However, things change when she meets Thomas at her first play that she goes to see in London things go from good to awesome. When not in class or sleeping, Lizzie tries to spend every waking moment with Thomas learning about him and London. However, things changed when he suddenly becomes more a lead actor rather than a supporting actor of the movie business. Now their relationship is thrown across TV and magazines and their romance is no longer private. Will Callie choose to remain in London to be near Thomas or will she move back to Michigan to the life she already knows. 

Review-
I received this book courtesy of Netgalley from the Publisher to give my honest opinion with no bias. This was the first book of Rachel’s that I have read so I do not have any books of hers to compare it to. I thought this was a great beach read or weekend book. It was easy to read and kept my attention from start to finish. I thought that she did a good job of developing the two main characters and also giving you a backstory on them with out being boring. It was a fun and easy read. I would recommend this book to readers who want a nice, easy read that will make you laugh, smile and wanting to read more of Rachel’s books.
