Review: Hearts Entwined by Karen Witemeyer, Mary Connealy, Regina Jennings, Melissa Jagears

Blurb (from Amazon):

Four top historical romance novelists team up in this new collection to offer stories of love and romance with a twist of humor. In Karen Witemeyer's "The Love Knot," Claire Nevin gets the surprise of her life awaiting her sister's arrival by train. Mary Connealy's "The Tangled Ties That Bind" offers the story of two former best friends who are reunited while escaping a stampede. Regina Jennings offers "Bound and Determined," where a most unusual trip across barren Oklahoma plains is filled with adventure, romance, and . . . camels? And Melissa Jagears' "Tied and True" entertains with a tale of two hearts from different social classes who become entwined at a cotton thread factory. 

Each tale is a fun blend of history and romance that will delight readers.

My Review: 

Hearts Entwined is a collection of four stories. The stories include:
The Love Knot by Karen Witemeyer
The Tangled Ties That Bind by Mary Connealy
Bound and Determined by Regina Jennings
Tied and True by Melissa Jagears

I thought this was a great collection. All four of the stories are full of laughter and sweetness. A fabulous read.

5+ stars.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

Review: A Chance at Forever by Melissa Jagears

Blurb (from Amazon): 

In early 1900s Kansas, Mercy McClain, determined to protect Teaville's children from the bullying she experienced as a child, finds fulfillment working at the local orphanage and serving on the school board. When Aaron Firebrook, the classmate who bothered her more than any other, petitions the board for a teaching position, she's dead set against him getting the job.

Aaron knows he deserves every bit of Mercy's mistrust, but he's returned to his hometown a changed man and is seeking to earn forgiveness of those he wronged. He doesn't expect Mercy to like him, but surely he can prove he now has the best interests of the children at heart.

Will resentment and old wounds hold them back, or can Mercy and Aaron put the past behind them in time to face the unexpected threats to everything they're working for?

My Review:

A Chance at Forever is the third installment and my favorite from Melissa Jagears’ series Teaville Moral Society. I felt connected to Mercy immediately and I understood why she did not want anything to do with George / Aaron. She soon finds out how much he is trying to be a better and changed person. This is a delightful story with a few giggles and a powerful message of letting go and learning to forgive. 

I give A Chance at Forever 5+ stars and I highly recommend it.

A Love So True (Teaville Moral Society #2) by Melissa Jagears

Amazon

A Love So True is the second novel from Melissa Jagears's series, Teaville Moral Society. Evelyn Wisely loves working at the orphanage but wants to help others, as well. Her employer agrees to help her build a shelter for the women of Teaville if she gets the approval from others in town. She finds an ally in David Kingsman, a local businessman. They develop a partnership that could be more than they bargained for.

I enjoyed A Love So True. I admired Evelyn's determination to help those who had fallen on hard times and had hope to give them a new life they never have imagined without her help. Evelyn is such a strong woman of her time. I love the character of David and loved how he grew throughout. This story had some really serious scenes that were hard to read, as well as some tender, sweet moments. I love how it all came together in the end.

4 1/2 stars.
