FROM THE BACK COVER:
"The Love Knot" (Karen Witemeyer) - When Claire Nevin's troubled younger sibling sends her an unexpected package by rail, the gift and the man who delivers it--an unexpected face from the past--threaten to upend Claire's life forever. Fighting to hold on to all she has built, will she lose what matters most?
"The Tangled Ties That Bind" (Mary Connealy) - Connor Kincaid returns home determined to win the hand of the woman he was too young for when he left. But Maggie is training to be a doctor in a distant town, while Connor's about to settle on a ranch. Will either be willing to give up their dream? Or will they both have to give up the love of a lifetime?
"Bound and Determined" (Regina Jennings) - As punishment for his recklessness, Private Bradley Willis is sent on an errand to help a retired cavalry officer move a herd across Indian Territory. No one told him the herd would be camels instead of cattle, nor that the officer's headstrong daughter, Ambrosia Herald, would seem to be trying to undermine the whole enterprise. He's definitely been saddled with more than he's bargained for.
"Tied and True" (Melissa Jagears) - Wealthy Marianne Lister is in love with business assistant Calvin Hochstetler, but he can't see past the difference din their socail status. When Marianne takes a job to prove that she is prepared for a life of hard work alongside the man of her dreams, will it be enough to convince Calvin to risk it all for love?
MY THOUGHTS:
I do love books that include several novellas as they are great books to carry with me when I have to sit waiting for appointments. This book is exceptionally good because I enjoy all four authors. However, for this blog I am highlighting Tied and True by Melissa Jagears.
Ms. Jagears always presents a sweet romance with strong storylines. I love the characters in this novella and how the author showed that stations in life really don't matter as long as you have the love of the Lord in your hearts.
The heroine, Marianne Lister comes from a wealthy family but has cared for Calvin Hochstetler, a business assistant, for a long time. She flirts with him but he keeps his distance as he knows his station in life is far below hers. But Marianne's heart belongs to Calvin and she is detemined to prove to him that money doesn't mean anything to her, She decides to get a job in a factory to prove to Calvin she doesn't need her family's money.
I enjoyed how Ms. Jagears allowed the reader to see Marianne's big heart. In fact I believe the reader sees it faster then Calvin sees it.
I would highly recommend this anthology of novellas for anyone who enjoys clean historical novels.
I would like to thank author Melissa Jagears and Bethany House for my copy of Hearts Entwined. I received my complimentary copy with no expectations of a positive review.
