**SPOILERS**
There are eight (8) episodes of the Women of Courage series, each delivered as an individual book costing just over $3.00 each. Whist the stories are interesting, the editing is atrocious; with constant spelling mistakes, bad grammar and editing errors. All of which, should have been corrected prior to the release of each book. Also, each episode is often smaller than a novella and could be compressed into a trilogy series instead.
However, these issues are only small compared to the hauntingly beautiful love story, that is, the heroine and the hero of the 'Love Released: Women of Courage' series. Two individuals from different social standings, discovering themselves and each other along the way. Each episode is packed full of suspense and drama and I found myself completely immersed in the life of Cora Williams and Virgil Carter.
It is 1947 and Cora Wiliams has been released from gaol after serving a five year sentence (the particulars of her 'crime' is slowly leaked throughout the series). Shunned by her parents, she moves to Gibbs City to start a new life with her nephew Jack. With no savings, she moves into the home belonging to her late Aunt, Rose.
Sheriff Virgil Carter has demons of his own. A veteran marine from the Civil War he is plagued with memories of the friends he lost. Feeling ostracized by his parents for being the only son who survived the war, he lives in a small room within the Sheriff's station.
Upon meeting the scared parolee sitting in his office, Sheriff Carter instantly feels a strong protectiveness to Cora; despite her criminal past. He is determined to ensure Cora is given every opportunity to build a new life in Gibbs City.
Virgil and Cora are both tormented by the traumatic experiences they have faced and over time, they learn to depend on each other. However, it still takes a lot for Virgil to earn the trust of the woman he loves to reveal all the abuse she suffered whilst serving her sentence in gaol.
Episode eight is the final book in this series and is only eighty pages in length, but I found the beginning of this chapter to be one of the harder books to read. In my opinion the first few sections of this novella felt rushed and didn't flow. That being said, the ending to this series was both engaging and captivating. It showcased the beauty of friendship and old-fashioned values; tolerance and understanding of others and of course family and unconditional love.
If the spelling and grammar could be corrected on all the books in this series and the price was reduced, each novella would receive five stars!

Enjoyable series, as each book could stand on its own, however reading all keeps the reader engaged in the storyline. The story that takes place in a small town in the late forties early fifties which gives readers an idea of how attitudes have changed towards women. No book was longer than 183 pages, so they could be completed in a day.

This series must be read together. Not a stand alone
I enjoyed the entire series. It made one really good book. Just wish it was sold as one book and not 9 books. It made me smile how a 6 year old was allowed to walk all the way into town and back by himself. I would recommend this series but only as one entire book.

I have loved every book in this series. I wish, it would never end. Love Released is a cozy read and the characters are well developed. Geri Foster is a wonderful writer. I will be trying some of her other series.

November 29, 2016Too many episodes
The entire story, or stories, could have easily been told in four books (episodes), or less. So much repetition to spread it out to eight. I realize that drives more revenue for the author and publisher, but often felt a lot of copying and pasting was going on.
