Heiress by Susan May Warren

ABOUT HEIRESS by SUSAN MAY WARREN:

They can buy anything they want—fame, power, beauty, even loyalty.

But they can’t buy love.

The beautiful and wealthy heiress daughters of August Price can buy everything their hearts desire. But what if their desire is to be loved, without an enormous price tag attached? When one sister betrays another for the sake of love, will she find happiness? And what happens when the other sets out across the still untamed frontier to find it—will she discover she’s left it behind in the glamorous world of the New York gilded society? What price will each woman pay for being an heiress?

Set in the opulent world of the Gilded Age, two women discover that being an heiress just might cost them everything they love.

MY THOUGHTS:

I am not sure why Heiress is marketed as Christian fiction.

A. very. dirty. boy.

A very HAPPY dirty boy!

I must admit that I prefer to curl up

Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer

This week, CFBA is introducing Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Rebekah Hendricks dreams of a life far beyond her family's farm in Oklahoma, and when dashing aviator Arthur Samson promised adventure in the big city, she is quick to believe he's the man she's meant to marry. While she waits for the Great War to end and Arthur to return to her so they can pursue all their plans, her mother's sister falls ill. Rebekah seizes the opportunity to travel to Texas to care for Aunt Adabelle, seeing this chance to be closer to Arthur's training camp as God's approval of her plans.

But the Spanish flue epidemic changes everything. Faced with her aunt's death, Arthur's indecisiveness, and four children who have no one else to care for them, Rebekah is torn between the desire to escape the type of life she's always led and the unexpected love that just might change the dream of her heart.

MY THOUGHTS:

Doughnut (Hole) Muffins

My husband and I have made the decision to start eating a bit more healthy. Are you laughing that I'm writing this at the beginning of a post called 'Doughnut (Hole) Muffins?!'

Just wait!

We are trying to make healthier choices. We're trying to keep white flour (including white pasta and rice) and white sugar to a bare minimum and gradually replacing the processed foods in our pantry.
