Follow the Heart by Kaye Dacus


With her usual careful descriptions and finely tuned detail, Kaye Dacus introduces us to her newest novel, Follow the Heart. Set in mid-1800s England, when new inventions and industrialization sparked a shift in the status quo, Kate and Christopher Dearing travel from Philadelphia to England in order to accept the kindness of their uncle to marry wealthy. But love and money do not always dine at the same table and when Kate falls for the gardener and Christopher for the governess, what will they be willing to sacrifice to obtain their dreams?

There such a sweetness between Kate and Andrew. I enjoyed their mutual discovery of their love through their interests in architecture.

If you enjoy the tension between the classes and a world of wonder set in 1851, you’ll probably enjoy Kaye Dacus’ newest novel, Follow the Heart.

Catch a Falling Star by Beth K Vogt

Casey Herringshaw was right! Beth K Vogt's newest novel, Catch a Falling Star, is even better than her first novel, Wish You Were Here. (and I really liked WYWH).

In Catch a Falling Star we meet Dr. Kendall Haynes and air force pilot, Griffin Walker. Both have given up on daydreams and fairytales because of life's hard knocks. Kendall is beginning to think she's reached her expiration date and Griffin is sure he's long over due.

But suprises...and near-death experiences, bring these two together - an unlikely pair who believed their wishes would never come true.

I love Kendall's personality. Her tenacity and directness is a perfect fit of Griff's introverted strength. So fun to read the banter between these two.

Also (thank you BETH) for a lovely hallway kissing scene. I love teasers ;-)
