Purple Like the West (Colors of Faith)

Virginia Carmichael

Price: FREE

I’ve read all of Virginia Carmichael’s books and they have all been excellent. This one went above and beyond my expectations, however.

Lilianna M. Schmidt

Margaret Gilbert, a railroad executive’s daughter, is a pampered princess of San Francisco’s wealthy elite. She chafes under the expectation that she will marry for status and dreams of independence. When she joins the local Ladies’ Aid Society, she’s horrified by the treatment of the Chinese immigrant laborers. Vowing to expose the abuse, she begins to investigate the complicated system of slave labor provided to the railroads, but no one will listen to a woman like her.
When she meets Ezra Pendleton, heir to a newspaper empire, she concocts a plan to tell the world- without incurring the wrath of her father. Ezra is the perfect cover. She’ll make her family happy by feigning interest in a very eligible bachelor, become an undercover reporter, and keep her identity a secret.
At least, that was the idea. Margaret starts to wonder if Ezra will turn out to be her plan’s fatal flaw. He is not the sort of man you can string along with flattery. He’s smart, wary, and is hiding a secret of his own. As the city falters under the stress of the Chinese mobs, the situation turns more dangerous than they could have imagined. Racial tensions in the city hit a breaking point and arson hits close to home. By the time the time there is an outbreak of the plague in Chinatown, it seems as if all the darkest parts of the city will be revealed at once.
Margaret and Ezra are thrown together in a common cause, but will their secrets destroy the love that is growing between them? A story of faith, honor, and forgiveness.

This is the second book in the Colors of Faith, a Christian historical romance series by Virginia Carmichael. The first, All the Blue of Heaven, was published February 2013.

Virginia was born near the Rocky Mountains and although she has traveled around the world, the wilds of Colorado run in her veins. A big fan of the wide open sky and all four seasons, she believes in embracing the small moments of everyday life. A home schooling mom of six young children who rarely wear shoes, those moments usually involve a lot of noise, a lot of mess, or a whole bunch of warm cookies. Virginia holds degrees in Linguistics and Religious Studies from the University of Oregon. She lives with her habanero-eating husband, Crusberto, who is her polar opposite in all things except faith. They’ve learned to speak in short-hand code and look forward to the day they can actually finish a sentence. In the meantime, Virginia thanks God for the laughter and abundance of hugs that fill her day as she plots her next book.

Mountain of Fear

Cynthia Hickey

Price: $0.99

I really enjoyed this book. Had difficulty putting it down which led to a very unproductive next day! I liked the characters; thought they were well developed and “human”.

Promise for Ellie, A (Daughters of Blessing Book #1)

Lauraine Snelling

Price: $3.99

Well written with extensive detail, the reader will have no trouble at all envisioning life in the early 1900’s. From what I gather this is a continuing family saga that began a couple of series ago bringing the children to adulthood as they face their own trials and tribulations as well as discovering the real meaning of faith and prayer when their orderly planned out world hits the bumps in life.

M. Rondeau

A great story, lots of action and lots of suspense. Of course as a suspense fiction fan, I have my idea who “dunnit” and was happy to see that I was right. You will enjoy this book, as you follow the clues to who is causing all the trouble in town.

This series is a keeper – one to read over and over again. This one is just as good as the first. Colleen keeps the pages turning till the end and then you are sorry the book is over.
