A Heart's Gift by Lena Nelson Dooley
5.0
I received a free copy of this book to review and I can’t tell you how glad I am to have discovered this author!
A Heart’s Gift checks a lot of boxes for me… an inspirational historical romance set in the west. I quickly came to love the main character, Lorinda. When her husband doesn’t return from what should have been a short trip, Lorinda finds herself facing an uncertain future in a dangerous area. Despite her drive to be independent of the control of men, she soon realizes that the help of truly good man is a wonderful thing.
I loved watching Lorinda grow as a character. Her increasing faith was inspiring. I loved that Dooley didn’t let her become the typical overly dramatic romance novel heroine. Her feelings for Franklin matured along with her faith, which I thought was a great way to develop this story.
I can’t wait to read more books by Lena Nelson Dooley! 5/5 stars!
