Happy Easter!

I hope you all were able to spend and enjoy Easter with your loved ones yesterday. I know I sure enjoyed spending the holiday with my family. This past Easter was the first year the Easter Bunny came to our house. Little Man was so excited to wake up and find some presents in his basket. He really enjoyed the egg hunt as well...and if I'm honest, mommy really enjoyed it too! :)

How was your Easter? Does your family have any traditions for the Easter holiday?

Wish-List Wednesday!

I, as I'm sure a lot of you do as well, have a TBR list that's a mile long (okay, lets be real, it's more like a thousand miles long). I always seem to be adding to it a million times faster than I can check books off...however, I LOVE to add great books to it (I spend so much time looking at and drooling over books, I think it's starting to become a hobby). In hopes to indulge said hobby, I'm counting on you to share some books on your wish-list and I'll share some of mine with you - therefore, feeding our book obsession hunger together. Remember: Christian Fiction books only (I consider Amish books in this genre, so Amish books are encouraged acceptable)!

Tea for Two by Trish Perry

Title: Tea for Two
Author: Trish Perry
Series: The Tea Shop Series
Rating: 4 Books

Review: Tea for Two by Trish Perry is like breathing in a breath of fresh air in Heaven. It is the second book in this modern day, inspirational romance series (The Tea Shop Series) set in Northern Virginia. Milly, the owner of the tea shop, is a pleasant Christian woman who befriends all of her customers, including counselor Tina Milano and her produce supplier Zack Cooper.

Tina, a single woman and counselor, leads her weekly counseling group at Milly's shop in the mornings, where sessions frequently get off track and onto the subject of Tina's love life, or lack there-of. Zack, a single father to two teenagers, Dylan and Sherry, is in need of some advice and guidance regarding the destructive path his children seem to be taking. After talking to Milly, as encouraging and supportive as she is, he realizes he's going to need some professional help for his falling-apart-family.

After heeding Milly's advice, Zack and Tina agree to work together in a casual manner - but there's a catch – Zack doesn't want Dylan and Sherry to know they're being counseled. During a meeting with Tina at Milly's shop, Dylan and Sherry walk in after school for some treats and see Zack with Tina. Automatically assuming Zack is dating Tina, the kids are thrilled. Not wanting to disappoint his children, Zack and Tina pretend to be in a relationship. But as Tina and Zack start to spend more time with each other and their friendship progresses, are they really still pretending? Can they overcome their trust and faith issues and really become a team?

What a wonderful book! I felt like I was right there in Milly's shop, drinking tea and eating her sweets with Tina and Zack. The characters are well rounded and seem so alive and full of life's journey – wherever that may take them. The Author really made it feel as if Tina and Zack were brought together by the hand of God. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. If you need to take a break from real life to escape to a relaxing, loving, inspiring and upbeat atmosphere, this is the book for you. I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking for an excellent read.

This is the second book of Trish Perry's that I have read, and I can tell you it won't be the last. Perry has a beautiful gift from God for story telling and an eloquent writing style that captivates readers from page one.

A Time to Love by Barbara Cameron

Title: A Time to Love
Author: Barbara Cameron
Series: Quilts of Lancaster County #1
Rating: 5 Books

Review: A Time To Love, the first book in Barbara Cameron's Quilts of Lancaster County series, is a beautifully written, modern day inspirational romance that revolves around a war correspondent Englisher woman who falls in love with an Amish Man.

Jenny, a confident, strong-willed woman with a compasionate heart for children, has always had a special bond with her grandmother's Amish communtity ever since her summer visits as a teenager; eventhough her father, when he was a teenager himself, left the community, never to return. While filming a story over seas about innocent children living in war-stricken areas, a car bomb explodes - severely injuring her and sending her back to the states. Lucky to be alive, Jenny wakes up in a hospital bed and notices one of her grandmother's quilts wrapped around her. Reminding her of the two summers she spent at her grandmother's house, she decides to go back there to heal.

Once there, Jenny is re-acquainted with Matthew, her first love from those summers long ago, who is now a widower with three children. Matthew, consistently finding ways to spend time with her, is a big part of the healing process for Jenny – always reassuring her how beautiful and strong she is despite her emotional and physical scars. Once again, she falls madly in love with him and his three precious children. After agreeing to marry him, she recieves some news about her health which sends her back to the hospital in New York, where she has plenty of time to re-think her decision. Can she marry him and have him risk losing another wife and his children another mother? Or can this good-looking farmer, with the help of his precious children, supportive sister and Jenny's faithful grandmother, help her realize that God has different, better plans in store for her, if she'll just give them a chance?

I fell in love with this story from page one and plan to read it many, many more times. It is such a sweet, yet captivating story full of hope, healing, true love, second chances, faith and promise. After finishing it I was yearning for more and can't wait until the second book, A Time To Heal, comes out in March 2011.

Cameron's writing style is so eloquent that I felt as though it were alive and I was living it right along with the characters. The characters are believable and very easy to relate to. This is the first book I have read by Barbara Cameron and it definitely will not be the last. If I could, I would give it 10 stars instead of 5. This is a book that is sure to be talked about for a long time and I am honored to have had the opportunity to read this amazing story.

Warning: Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down until you finish!
