Title: Lady Emma's Campaign

Author: Jennifer Moore

Genre: Historical Romance, LDS

Published: November 1, 2014

When Captain Sidney Fletcher was taken captive by the French in Spain Emma decided she needed to be a part of the rescue efforts. Once behind enemy lines Emma and Sidney had a difficult time getting back to safety.

I loved the characters from the first book and I was really looking forward to this one. Then I started reading and got stuck. The first half felt unrealistic. Given who Emma was and how she was raised, born a sheltered Lady from England, having her stow away on a ship and voluntarily go into a war torn foreign country. It seemed out of line on the reality scale.

The second half of the book I really enjoyed. Once Emma was embroiled in the situation where all she was really able to do was react and keep going I was able to really get into the story.

Overall I gave this book 3 stars out of 5.

Title:  Becoming Lady Lockwood

Author: Jennifer Moore

Genre: Romance, LDS Fiction

Published: July 1, 2014

There was a discrepancy about the legality of Amelia Beckett's proxy marriage to the Earl Lockwood. After his brother's death the new earl, William, wanted to protect his family and holdings. William took Amelia from her home in Jamaica aboard his ship and journeyed the dangerous Atlantic waters.

I enjoyed the relationships Amelia formed throughout the story. Not just with William, but also his first mate, a little boy, the cook and the head man who fixed the sails. They were formed gradually and made you really care about each of the characters.

I found this book to be a fun, light read that moved quickly. I will admit at one point I did cry a little. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Overall I gave this book 5 stars out of 5.

Title: What the Doctor Ordered

Author: Sierra St. James

Genre: LDS Fiction

Published: January 1, 2004

Ellie's Aunt Bertie decided she knew what was best for Ellie and that was John. Despite barely meeting each other Bertie told the town not only were they dating, but they would soon be married.

There was some humor, but I was grateful I had never been in a position where people assumed something about me because someone else had said that was the way things were. I even became a little frustrated a couple of times when Ellie had tried to explain to people she and John weren't dating.

The romance happened a little fast for me. I liked the relationship the two characters had when it was just the two of them, but they didn't really talk about things that should be important if you are going to be in a relationship with someone. I wondered what she thought about his divorce and the reasons behind it. I also wondered what she was planning on doing about school when the summer was over. What were they going to do about her potential carrier? They never talked about those types of things.

Overall I gave this book 3 stars out of 5.

Title: Freefall (Saint Squad #1)

Author: Traci Hunter Abramson

Type of book: LDS fiction, Action

Amy Whitmore was one of seven people taken hostage in a foreign country. Lieutenant Brent Miller was one of five Navy Seals sent in to save them. Things went awry, Amy and Brent had to make their own way back to safety.

I kept thinking I shouldn't like these people. Amy was athletic, supermodel gorgeous, artistic and incredibly smart. Brent was the male version. Despite the fact that these two characters were entirely too perfect I still liked them.

The pace of the book was fast and fun. I am currently sick and this book did not take a lot of brain power to be able to follow along. Exactly what I need.

Overall I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.
