Today I’m reviewing A TAILOR-MADE BRIDE, by Karen Witemeyer, published by Bethany House.
Hannah Richards has come to Coventry, Texas to achieve her dream–to open up a dressmaker’s shop, having inherited the title of a building from a wealthy customer. But achieving her dream causes her to run afoul of liveryman J.T. Tucker, who’d planned to buy that building himself to benefit a widow. And there is another reason for J.T. to dislike Hannah–her taste for stylish clothes reminds him too much of his vain, self-centered mother.
But Hannah is nothing like her mother, and soon shows that by her acts of kindness and unlikely friendship. Much against his iron will, J.T. begins to fall in love with pretty Hannah, and she with him. The story of their courtship is engaging and charming, and the spiritual takeaway was that everyone has value and worth. I loved the heroine’s friendship with a grieving widower and his resultant transformation, as well as the heroine’s ahead-of-her-time interest in fitness.
I’ve become a fan, and I will be watching for future books by this great author. I highly recommend that you not miss this one!

It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve added anything but a book review to my blog. I feel like a diver that ’s coming up for air after a very lengthy submersion.
Today I’m reviewing THE LAST CHRISTIAN by David Gregory, a futuristic inspirational novel that was quite different from anything I’ve ever read before.
