Becoming Bea by Leslie Gould #review

Will a childhood rivalry slowly turn to romance? Or will our two main characters fracture their relationship beyond repair?

About Becoming Bea

Beatrice Zook knows God wants her to learn patience towards others. When assisting a family overwhelmed by triplets is quite successful for her, her confidence in dealing with others grows.

One person that she will never be able to find peace with is Ben Rupp. They have known each other forever and Ben understands precisely how to crawl under her skin. What neither she nor Ben will admit is that beneath all their bickering, attraction awaits. When friends decide to try and bring the couple together, will the pair be able to find true love? Or will they damage their relationship beyond repair?

My Thoughts

A simple story of young love that grows and matures in to so much more. Both so unsure of their own feelings, they both need to come to accept their feelings and figure out how to act on them. Bea is a beautiful young woman who is learning much about herself in this novel (which I loved!) and her place in the world. She grows from an unsure young girl into a much more confident young lady more sure of what she wants in life.

It was beautiful to be able to witness Bea’s growth and her acceptance of her feelings for Ben. I love the way Leslie writes – you feel as if you are a part of Bea’s life. You feel her every pain and joy. Most of her moments you can directly relate to your own.

Too Loved to be Lost by Debora M. Coty #review

Too Loved to be Lost is full of simple steps we can all take each day to refresh and heal our mind, body and faith.

About Too Loved to be Lost

In Too Loved to be Lost you will find simple, practical steps for the healing and refreshment of the spirit, body and faith. Whether you are struggling with issues related to trust, depression, patience, relationships or hurts this humour full volume will deliver a much needed smile and equip you with simple to implement tips for attaining the guidance you crave – the kind that can only be found in the unconditional love of Papa God.

My Thoughts

I love the way Debora Coty writes. This was a conversation with Debora guiding you and encouraging you through the difficult moments versus telling you what to do. Her humour is infectious and I found myself laughing out loud at parts (which the hubby did not appreciate as I kept waking him up at night!). She shares her personal stories which I think many of us can relate to (I know I sure did!). While the book provides steps for healing you do not need to be in a painful place to appreciate this book.

You can find more reviews on the Litfuse blog tour here. You can purchase a copy of the book here.
