Share Your Shelf and Thankful Thursday

Today I'm linking up with "Share Your Shelf

Here are the books I read in September:

"Temporary Bride" by Linda Ford

 

From GoodReads: "Lena Stevens has lived through more than her share of troubles. After losing her mother and father when she was young, Lena learned that every kindness came with obligation. Now a widow with a small child, Lena has lost the one thing she had left: her house. She has no desire to be a burden on her neighbor, even if the man was foolish enough to promise her late husband to watch out for her. But when propriety demands a marriage, Lena makes Anker vow to annul it come spring.

Anker has longed for a wife--but not like this. A forced marriage. A pretend marriage. HeH will do what he must to protect Lena and Charlie throughout the winter. But as days stretch into months, his admiration for the spirited young woman begins to turn to something else. Something more...

Anker and Lena both had their reasons for wanting a temporary marriage. But when spring arrives, will they regret their vow to end the union?"

"The Homesteader's Sweetheart" by Lacy Williams

From Goodreads:  "Homesteader Jonas White is a single father to a passel of orphaned boys--and the tiny girl whose birth changed his life and got him banished from the only home he'd ever known.

Penny Castlerock is the daughter of a wealthy banker. Far out of Jonas's reach. And the only person in the small Wyoming town who knows his secret.
When a sinister threat chases Penny out of town and to the refuge of Jonas's ranch, she finds herself completely out of her element on the isolated, rustic homestead. And drawn to the handsome rancher and his patchwork family.

*single dad raising orphans
*matchmaking kids
*from different worlds
*heroine on the run"

"An Amish Heart Awakens" by Ruth Troyer

From GoodReads. "After tragedy strikes, Lydia Miller returns to her Amish roots, seeking comfort in the simplicity of her former life. But when her young son, David, befriends the aloof and brooding farmer Jacob Fisher, Lydia finds herself drawn into a relationship she never expected.

Jacob, scarred by his own past, slowly begins to thaw as Lydia and David bring light into his life.

Together, they must confront old wounds and decide whether they are willing to embrace the possibility of new love.

Will their shared sorrows lead to healing and a chance at happiness?"

I enjoyed all three of these books. Christian Romance is my favorite genre to read..
