Redeeming Love Review



  • Set in the 1850s this beautifully written story captures your heart and mind. It takes you to a world full of heartache and forgiveness.                                              Angel is a woman trying to find her purpose in life and at the same time running from a past she can’t escape. But when she meets a man filled with hope and love. But she can’t comprehend the love he shows towards her. She can’t let go of the past and won’t welcome love. With a past that constantly haunts her will she find the strength and love to overcome it?                                                                             The moment I started reading this book I was hooked. I could not put it down.  I loved it from the start. It focuses on the importance of forgiveness and not only to forgive others, but to forgive yourself too. Not only was this a great book, but it really touches you heart when you read it. It reminded me of God’s forgiving love. No matter what we do God is always there for us and never will turn His back on us.                                                                Over all this was an excellent book. And I would read over again. I rate it five out of five stars.

    • I was very excited to receive my first book from "Blogging for Books”. I received "The Governess of Highland" by Carrie Turnansky. I had never read anything from this author so I was excited to start on it.                                                                                                                                                                                                          The book takes place in England in 1911. I knew right away I would enjoy this book because of the setting and time period.  When I first began the book I felt like it had a Jane Eyre kind of feel to it. Since it being centered around the life of a governess, I thinks that’s why I got that feeling. I have read my share of books centered on life of a governess. I was just hoping this one would be different.  As the book progressed It kept reminding me of Downton Abbey. I thinking it’s because it actually told the story of the servants of the house. Also the time period is similar to Downton Abbey.                                                   Overall it was a very enjoyable book to read, although it was predictable.  Sometimes I do enjoy predictable books but other times I do. But this one didn’t really bother me as much. If you like Jane Eyre or Downton Abbey I think you will enjoy this book. I did really like it and rate it 3 out of 4 stars.
