Review: A Heart Most Faithful

A Heart Most Faithful book cover on blue background

As part of the Restful August Challenge, I'm delighted that I've been able to dive into a new Regency novella from Carolyn Miller, which is available for free. Not only is A Heart Most Faithful a great introduction to some of her historical series, but it also sets readers up for a new series to come!

Book Synopsis

A kiss, a dance, and a second chance...

After an embarrassing encounter in a London ballroom, Miss Anne Talbot has tried to put Lieutenant Peter Colborne far from mind. His behaviour, as inexplicable as it was reprehensible, has left her certain her fate is spinsterhood, and is determined to protect her all-too-eager younger sister from making a similar mistake. But when a family emergency demands she return with her mother and sister to their Leicestershire village, she is shocked to discover that perhaps Mr. Colborne hadn't forgotten her at all...

A brand new Regency novella involving second chances, glimpses of beloved characters, and an aspiring female novelist with an eye for romance.

Book Thoughts

What a precious novella where we get to meet Anne and Peter. I love their story and their desire to be faithful to God above all else. The words about how our hearts are fickle and can lead us astray indicate just how in tune they are to the Father's will, making this story both memorable and charming. I appreciate that both characters can admit to their faults as they acknowledge the past and look to the future with hope and love. If you're looking for a great introduction to the rest of Carolyn Miller's Regency books, A Heart Most Faithful sets the tone in welcoming readers to stories of faith where the presence of Jesus can be felt between the pages.

Review: The Final Word - Bite of Betrayal #2

This is a book where the name Miles Morgan will have you wishing he was a real person after getting to meet his character. The Final Word is the next book in the Bite of Betrayal series by Laura Thomas , set in the English village of Bramble Downs. Combining the opera, a bakery, a book based on a Cinderella retelling, and sisters who have each others' backs through thick and thin, there is much to explore in Miles and Sophie's story!

Ella Marie is a newer-to-me author whose Christian faith in her recent books is clear, well written, and thoughtfully expressed.

Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
