This book started off pretty good. I enjoyed learning about Kathryn and Larson. As the first chapters peeled, I could hardly read the tragics that they went through. My heart broke for Kathryn as she thought her husband was dead...but never felt it. Larson was badly burned and beyond recollection. Kathryn just about loses her ranch--Larson's dream--and she works hard to save it. As Larson grows closer to God and realizes his mistakes. A true gem of a novel that was greatly written by the author!Oh wow! I read this book in one night. I cried countless times! What a beautiful book and great reminder of God's love . I'm speechless over it actually. Tamera Alexander is one of my new favorites.
I totally picked this book up at the library knowing nothing about it. My dad always used to read westerns (and still does) and I've been known to read a few of his in the past. But this was a love story too. Intriguing! It actually ended up being a christan love story. Which is nice that you don't have to worry about skipping over any nastiness. The main two characters, Kathryn and Larson are ranchers in the Colorado Territory who aren't fairing so well. They have never gotten the baby they so
A husband and wife drift apart in hard times, their misunderstandings fanned by disappointment and regret. Then the husband is attacked and nearly burned to death in a fire, and his scars keep him in hiding. He watches his wife from afar, desperate for her to still want him, but distrustful and afraid of rejection.When I read a story with a slower pace, I like to have something that keeps my attention--if not nail-biting suspense and action, then beautiful prose, wonderfully descriptive
Rekindled is a debut novel for Tamera Alexander and it won a RITA award in 2014 as a first book. Christian historical romance can often be synonymous with clean romance with Scripture thrown in. This one is definitely not that trope, in fact it seems to address all the common myths you find in romance. Set in Colorado in 1868, the author wastes no time creating a setting that is authentic. The characters are lifelike, only exception being the villains. This is the story of a marriage that is in
REKINDLED is a wonderful novel filled with emotion and characters you can't help but fall in love with. Kathryn Jennings' life has been difficult, but she soon learns that her most difficult times are yet to come. REVEALED is about second chances, new discoveries, and the importance of looking past a person and into their soul. Kathryn learns that lesson well and soon finds what she was looking for all along. At times, the book moves slower than the reader might like, but never so slow that you
I was very impressed by this book. It was not like every book I have ever read. First off, it was about a husband and wife. Second, the faith themes were a natural part of the story and strong. I really enjoyed how both of them realize their faults, a let God change their hearts.The physical side of marriage was not avoided, but it was treated with honor and respect (aka this book was clean but not for very young readers).
