Book Review: Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings

Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent Romance Tale

This is, I think, the third book I've read by this author and I loved it. I'll definitely read more of her work in the future.
One of the things I loved about the plot was the way the author brought in bits of the story of Ruth. The characters were varied and vibrant, easy to picture. I had no trouble rooting for the MCs. The last couple of chapters made me cheer. It'll be interesting to see where the series goes from here.
If you enjoy clean, historical, inspirational romance, then this book might be just what you're looking for.

Book Review: Bound and Determined (Fort Reno #1.5) by Regina Jennings

Bound and Determined by Regina Jennings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Enjoyable Romance

This story made me laugh in a few places for the best reasons. The banter between the MCs was so well done! I liked the ending. It didn't feel rushed. The story was sweet and clean with just enough adventure to keep me turning pages. And the faith element was evident in the lives of the characters. If you enjoy those sorts of things, you'll probably want to give this book a try.

Just Keep Writing: Wednesday Whimsy

If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.

Rules:

1. You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.  
2. Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to. 
3. Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.

Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required. 

I wonder what stories will be born from these three words. What do you think? Can you work with these?

I'm so happy you chose to spend part of your time here on the scenic route. Did you find a new book to read? Have you read these books (or other books) by Regina Jennings? If so, what did you think? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. 

If you came for inspiration, was the word prompt helpful? Please tell me all about it in the comments below. I'd love to hear what you have to say. 

Visit again tomorrow to get a fresh word prompt.
