My Review:

Rescue on the Farm is another heartwarming, faith based romance from author Allie Pleiter. With an idyllic setting, a romance that will tug at the heart strings, and an emphasis on friends, family and faith; this delightful story was a wonderful addition to the Love Inspired line up, and it's one that I had a hard time wanting to put down.

Readers follow single mother Meg Kittering, who owns the local diner and lives next door to Three Sisters Rescue Farm. When the owner of the farm has her son (Grant) visit unexpectedly, Meg doesn't care for the way he refuses to support his mother in her dream of operating the rescue farm. A police officer who has seen the worst of the worst, Grant doesn't have patience for his mother's newest ideal, or for her next door neighbor's sunny disposition towards everything, despite the harsh circumstances life has dealt her. However, as the two start to spend more time together, they can't deny the sparks that are flying between them. Soon Grant is dreaming of a future with this woman and her adorable daughters, and Meg finds herself wanting to take another chance at love despite the fears she has about doing so. However, with so much riding against them, can they truly trust God to lead them into their own version of happily ever after?

A sweet story about taking chances on love, and listening to the Lord's leading even when it may seem impossible to do so, this was another lovely story from Allie Pleiter that will leave every reader with a big smile on their face.

If you enjoy your romances sweet and clean and with a dash of canines for good measure, this might just be the title you've been looking for.

My only complaints were the fact that I thought the ending was a bit rushed and didn't answer some of the questions that were raised about Grant's situation, and I also wish readers had been given a bit more of his backstory.

Overall though, I definitely enjoyed this one, and I look forward to more titles with these characters in the future.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Allie Pleiter for allowing me to advance read and review this title!

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

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

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...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
