The Cautious Maiden by Dawn Crandall is the fourth book in the Everstone Chronicles. It is a standalone novel, but would be much more enjoyable if you have read the other three in the series. Violet Hawthorne is our heroine in this novel. She is forced into a proposal with the notorious Vance Everstone. After reading the other three books in the series I came in not prepared to really like Vance, and was not sure what to think of him. But, through the heart felt writing of Mrs. Crandall I enjoyed seeing the transformation in Vance that only Christ can bring. By the end I was cheering for Vance. I was thankful for our God who redeems and loves the broken souls which includes me.
The Cautious Maiden is well written and a page turner. I was guessing till the end of the novel. Great romance, adventure and insight into the love of God. I highly recommend it!
I was given this book from the publisher.

So well written. Excellent period book. I felt so connected to the characters I was sad when the book was over. I love how part of the The Elegant Facade was connected to the The Noble Masquerade. The stories were woven together and it was like I was revisiting with old friends. Great read!

The Quest for Wellness by Mark Sherwood is a wonderful book with so many practical ways to improve your overall well-being. I enjoy reading books about improving my health, exercising, and on spiritual and emotional well-being. What I love about The Quest for Wellness is that it includes all four. Dr. Sherwood takes you through phases to help you become healthier and make long term changes in your life. He helps you by giving you small doable steps to facilitate these changes. I found myself reading the book, slowly making changes which helped me to feel healthier. I would highly recommend this book. This book was given to me by bookfun.
