Review: Wyoming Sweethearts

Wyoming Sweethearts (Love Inspired)

About the Book:
The chance to rescue abandoned horses has given Eloise Tipple the fresh start she needs. After losing her skating career and fiance, she returns home to Wild Horse, Wyoming, to work at a beautiful inn and man the stables. Sean Granger has also come home to nurse some emotional wounds and would like nothing more than to pursue life as a lone wolf. Both say they want nothing more than friendship. But while saving homeless horses, can Sean and Eloise save each other and heal their wounds?

My Comments:
I enjoyed this Christian romance.  Eloise and Sean are both on the rebound, neither is looking for love, but when it shows up under their nose.... The setting of a Wyoming ranch and the surrounding areas gives Jillian Hart plenty of opportunity to work in horses and small town friends.  While the story is by no means unique, I liked the main characters and enjoyed watching them get to know each other.  I'd classify is as more a clean romance than Christian--the characters prayed and thought about God periodically, but the religious aspects almost appeared thrown in there, as if to meet some checklist.  Grade:  B.

I'd like to thank the publisher for making a review copy available via NetGalley

Review: Homespun Bride

Homespun Bride (The McKaslin Clan: Historical Series, Book 1) (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical #2)

This one was a Kindle freebie, and if you are familiar with the logo on the cover, you'll realize this is the Christian version of a Harlequin Romance.  The heroine is Noelle, a young woman who was blinded in a carriage accident that took the lives of her beloved parents.  She now lives with her uncle, aunt and cousins.  The hero is Thad, a young man she fell in love with years ago; a young man with whom she was supposed to elope; a young man who did not show up that night, and she never knew why.  

This book was exactly what I figured it would be when I downloaded it-sweet, quick, and predictable.  

Grade:  B- (that's about the best that kind of book gets from me)
