A Refuge at Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky


I loved this book by Carrie Turansky. It is book 3 in the Edwardian Brides series. WWI is taking place and Penny has taken refuge at Highland Hall. Alex Goodwin is a pilot flying aircraft over Germany to keep them from bombing England.

Penny had her heart broken. Can she open her heart to Alex? Will he survive the war and come back to her? I enjoyed reading their letters to one another, getting glimpses into the war from his perspective at the war front and from Penny's perspective at Highland Hall. A Refuge at Highland Hall is a great historical fiction story. You do not need to read these books in order, but once you read this one you'll want to read the others to get to know the other characters.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Daughter of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky


I love this series by Carrie Turansky. You do not need to read these in order to understand what is going on. It helps to get the back story on some of the characters, but it has no affect on this story.

Katherine Ramsey is ready to enter the social world. But when the time comes, a family scandal takes away her chance to find a suitable match. A man of wealth and a man following God's lead are trying to capture her heart. Which one will she choose? Kate is looking for love. Will she find it with the man who is in line to inherit from his parents, or from the one just starting out? Finding someone to love and who returns your love is a precious gift.

Katherine's aunt pushes Kate to get out there and meet the eligible bachelors during the season so she can find a suitable husband. Her cousin runs the family estate now. She needs a husband so she is not dependent on him. But who to choose? A medical student opens her eyes to the poor. Will Kate decide to serve others or live a life being served?

The characters pull you into the story. You won't want to stop reading until you find out which suitor has stolen her heart. God's love is intertwined in the characters' lives and the decisions they make.

I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
