Review of Let Nothing You Dismay by Jennifer Q. Hunt

-

 


I recently read and loved Let Nothing You Dismay by Jennifer Q. Hunt. 

This historical faith filled romance is beautifully written and left me racing to the end and wanting more. Let Nothing You Dismay by Jennifer Q Hunt brings together two series. I have not read either and had no problem following the story, but I loved this one so much that I will be reading more of Jennifer’s books soon.


When AJ returns from the Korean War with injuries that are deeper than what the eye can see, he barely recognizes little Hope who is all grown up. Hope has her own problems she keeps hidden. Their lives are thrown together through her job and a situation he is pulled into.


A tender friendship develops between them. I loved that  faith was the foundation of their friendship, and it is beautifully woven into the storyline. 


The story tugged at my heartstrings with all that AJ went through in the war and the issues he had to deal with once home. It was also interesting to learn some of the history surrounding the Korean War. 


The holiday setting adorns the book with little touches and descriptions that will make you long for Christmases past. It’s a great holiday read, but worthy of reading anytime.

Book Blurb:

The unforgettable characters of the Wisteria House and Sorrow & Song Trilogies come together in this poignant Christmas story of the next generation.

A veteran of both the Second World War and the Korean War, combat medic A.J. Harrison returns home in the fall of 1952, permanently injured and uncertain of his future. As the long-anticipated holiday at home approaches, his family’s joy is quenched when A.J.’s service record is called into question. How can he defend himself when feelings of failure already assault him from every side?

Hope Carver appears to have a fairytale life, surrounded by a large, loving family. But she lives in frustration over her secret affliction and in fear of others discovering it. What would the young man she’s been in love with for years think if he knew the truth about the girl he regards as his kid sister?

When Hope holds the key to proving A.J.’s character, will she be able to face her fears to defend him? And will that truth set him free to love?

Review of The Designated Valentine by Drew Taylor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In The Designated Valentine Drew Taylor weaves past and present together to gradually reveal how Karoline and Mason went from long time best friends to enemies to love. This is a sweet, clean romantic comedy that doesn’t overdo the comedy and only contains kissing, though it does discuss the battle with attraction the main characters have and how they want to be careful because of their faith. Drew includes a warning at the beginning of the book that there is also some mention of alcohol as this book deals with a past addiction. Drinking is not promoted. Both Karoline and Mason think they’ve matured since they last spoke three years before, but they still have room to grow and as a reader I enjoyed my front row seat to see that growth. It’s a great representation of the battles we often face in relationships of all kinds — some from our misperceptions of who we are because of things people in our lives have said or done, and some because we struggle to forgive thinking the o...

FOS 1- Fruit of the Spirit Bible Study - Intro

My granddaughter recently had her first birthday. The day after her party, my daughter gave her the Bitty Baby doll that my mother-in-law had given my daughter for her first birthday. It was a huge hit! A mixture of joy and seriousness came over my granddaughter as she simultaneously loved on her "new" baby and tried to figure out how to take care of her. My husband and I had given her a doll stroller for Bitty Baby and she put her baby in it and started strolling her around the house like it was her job. She checked in every few minutes with her baby, and, even though it was nap time, she pushed her around for forty-five minutes. I think she would have kept going if we hadn't told her it was nap time. What a blessing to behold the delight and joy of a child! In my recent newsletter, I spoke about  love . Above I mentioned  joy . Those happen to be the first two characteristics listed as the fruit of the Spirit.  Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is l...

Learning to Forgive

-

The old man creeps down the street in his truck and I fuss. Doesn't he know people are in a hurry? I get distracted and pull out in front of someone, causing them to honk their horn. Good grief, can't they be patient? It's funny how we expect others to forgive us, but we get angry about the very same things with others.  The previous examples were just everyday situations with no long term consequences, but what if someone wrongs us in a way that is more serious? We may put it behind us, but can we forgive them? What if they have harmed us or someone we love? Would we be able to follow the words of Luke 6?  Luke 6:35, 37-38 ESV - 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. ... 37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be ...
