A Review of With Every Breath by Elizabeth Camden

This is the first book I have read by Elizabeth Camden and I think she just became one of my new favorite authors. This book was so good and had so many great aspects to it. First of all, it was so easy to read it, I couldn't stop flipping the pages. Camden writes really well and I didn't notice any slow parts to the novel. The plot is so unique and different. This is not a cookie cutter Christian Romance. The book is about a doctor trying to find a cure for tuberculosis. It's a subject matter most of us do not think about and I found it fascinating to read about. I loved both the characters Kate and Trevor. I love that Trevor is not your typical male character. He is dark and broody and has an edge to him, but under all that is an amazing person. There is real depth to the characters. I liked watching the relationship between Kate and Trevor grow and blossom.  I enjoyed the mystery in the book as well. What is Trevor hiding and who is trying to destroy him? There is a huge bombshell in the middle of the book that I was not expecting at all. I can usually predict something in a book, but I did not see this coming and I love that I was so surprised.  Again, it's an awesome book and I would definitely recommend it!

A Review of The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn by Lori Benton

The book started out really slow for me. It took me a while to actually want to read it. It seemed interesting, but it was a little boring. The book get better after a few chapters. The author is very descriptive with her writing. Some readers may like this, but for me it just made the book longer. Although the story was good, I felt like it took a long time for me to finish it. It also started to get a bit repetitive because they constantly would have to be on the run again. They would stop at one place then leave, go to another place, then leave. I just wanted them to either be caught or escape for good. The journey was dragged out. My favorite aspect of the story were the Native Americans because I find it interesting to read about the culture. That is what brought my rating of the book up from a 3 to a 4. Another positive were the characters, I liked them all and they were well developed. I also enjoyed the ending. It was very creative and unexpected and it tied everything together well.
