Their Wander Canyon Wish by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I hope you all had a great weekend, and that your week is off to a great start.

Unfortunately, the weekend for me wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be as there ended up being some drama at work that caused some extra stress. However, I was determined to not let it get me down, and continue to shine for Jesus even when situations make it more challenging to do so.

One of my favorite things to do when I'm feeling down or upset from stuff like that is to curl up with a fantastic Christian Fiction title. They always help me to feel more uplifted and motivated, and quite often Love Inspired's are my favorites to turn to for this.

Today I'd like to share a review with you all for an upcoming Love Inspired release that ended up being one of my favorites to date. I can't wait to share with you all what I thought of this heartwarming story.

My Review:

I've lost count of just how many Love Inspired titles I've read and enjoyed over the years, but Allie Pleiter's are quickly becoming some of my all time favorites. I've honestly enjoyed each and every one of the titles I've been lucky enough to read by her, and Their Wander Canyon Wish ended up being my favorite yet. I knew that after first being introduced to Wyatt Walker in Wander Canyon Courtship, that his story was going to be one that would truly tug at the heartstrings, and that was definitely the case. He truly meets his match in widowed single mother Marilyn Sofitel, even though she's exactly what he thought he'd never want in his life.

Over the course of this heartwarming story, the reader is treated to a budding relationship between Wyatt and Marilyn that first starts out as a sweet friendship. Wyatt and Marilyn have both known and experienced great heartache, and they begin to find healing and love through each other and through strengthening their relationship with our Heavenly Father. Along the way, Allie Pleiter throws in many important issues like the stigmas that comes along with stereotyping, the hurt that can come from small town gossip being thrown around with no thought to its consequences, and the hardships that come from navigating learning disabilities, especially when they were never diagnosed.

From start to finish, this one was everything I was hoping for and more, and I could barely put it down once I started. As much as I enjoyed the romance, the small town setting (especially the carousel), and the strong emphasis on faith, family and friendship, I have to be honest and say that it was Marilyn's young twin daughters Maddie and Margie who truly made this one a winner in my eyes. I loved their refreshing views on everything, and the adorable interactions they have many times with Wyatt throughout the course of the story. 

I wholeheartedly enjoyed this one, and can't possibly recommend it enough. It was the perfect start to a new series surrounding Wander Canyon, and I can't wait to find out what Allie Pleiter has in store for the residents of this small town in upcoming books.

Final Rating 5/5

Thanks so much to Allie Pleiter for providing me a complimentary copy of this novel to read and review!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this novel from the author as part of her street team. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review. 


Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
