I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Healing Her Cowboy (Montana Secrets #1)Healing Her Cowboy by Kay Stockham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since August 9, 2019. Chick-lit/romances are a genre I enjoy reading for entertainment.
I had some problems with the storyline for the justifications Grace used, rape of a minor is not as bad as incest, and the justification the sheriff told Jake when Jake tried to get help for Grace when Jake saw her physical injuries, she might have been in more danger if she went into foster care/group homes. Those justifications kept this book from earning any higher stars from me.
There is a happy ending.

A Cutthroat Business (A Savannah Martin Mystery, #1)A Cutthroat Business by Jenna Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since December 14, 2018.
I enjoy reading cozy mysteries for entertainment. I appreciate the logic the author has for why our FMC wants to know more about the original contract on the house to explain why she wants to know/why she is curious about how it came to be on the market when the owner has significant cognitive decline.
this story was fun to read, and I recommend it to tohers who enjoy cozy mysteries.

Robert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons in Character, Courage, and VisionRobert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons in Character, Courage, and Vision by H.W. Crocker III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has been in our home library since 2009 because my husband enjoys the study of the Civil War era.
This book is more about educating young adults about what Robert E. Lee has to teach future leaders . At the end of chapters the author offeres 2-8 points which the author calls "Lee's Lessons." If these "Lee's Lessons" are the only information a reader takes the time to read and then to strive to incorporate into the reader's life, the act of doing so will be worth the effort.
I recommend this book, and wish some current politicians might learn from it.

Fair Are the Meadows: Christian Historical Fiction with Small Town Romance Set on the Frontier of Midwestern America (Home to Green Creek)Fair Are the Meadows: Christian Historical Fiction with Small Town Romance Set on the Frontier of Midwestern America by Lauraine Snelling


I borrowed this book from my local library. I requested it as soon as I found out it would be relased soon because I read the first two books in the trilogy. I enjoy the stories of these pioneers.
There were sections of the book when verses of hymns were added in the story. Perhaps this would have been more effective in an audiobook. To this reader, it felt more like page-filler.
I still recommend this book to readers of this genre and fans of books by these authors.
