The Writing DeskThe Writing Desk by Rachel Hauck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enchanting book about two women living in different times, present day Tenley and Gilded Age Birdie. Their stories intertwined with ease keeping me turning pages late at night. Rachel Hauck created strong characters I grew to enjoy and care about in their dilemmas. Both women’s faith in God were tested. Tears came to my eyes as their stories enfolded. I would recommend any of the three books I have read by this author including The Wedding Dress and The Wedding Shop.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and have given my own opinion in this review.

The Wedding Shop – Enthralling!

The Wedding ShopThe Wedding Shop by Rachel Hauck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Wedding Shop vividly remains imprinted in my mind as though it had been a movie. I can see the scenes, hear the sounds, and feel the heartache. I grew to love these characters. I wanted the book to continue.

This second book in the Heart’s Bend series will captivate you. It has a connection to the first book which is heavenly but can be read on it’s own. Haley and Cora are from two different generations but with the same desire; to help brides have their dream day. The dual plots mix throughout the book but the wedding shop is the same. Both women have tough issues and are very loyal to their families. Sometimes they don’t know love when it is right in front of them. Often they test their faith in God. I highly suggest reading The Wedding Shop for a delightful and dreamy experience.

I received a copy from NetGalley for my honest review which I have given.
