With the upcoming release of the books in her new Kensington series, bestselling author Loree Lough will have 121 books on the shelves (8,000,000+ copies in circulation). Her writing style has been compared to Nicholas Sparks and Mary Jo Putney, and readers and reviewers often call her “a gifted writer whose stories touch hearts and change lives.”

With a long list of industry awards, it isn't likely this prolific author will ever retire...not even to her cozy li'l cabin in the Allegheny Mountains. She loves to hear from her readers and personally answers every letter sent to http://www.loreelough.com/.

This is a four-in-one and I'm stopping at half. If anyone reads my other reviews, you'll know I'm not a fan of the really tough stuff when I'm reading for enjoyment.

The first book had some of that but the second one got really hard to read.

I do like how she represented the horror from both sides of the Civil War, but then again, I want to avoid horror.

I read this book while on my Hawaiian cruise. It is a compilation of short stories and it was a quick read. It is a good book to take on vacation because you can put the book down at the end of each story and relax. There was some drama but not the type that would put you at the end of your seat. I enjoyed it very much.

This is a collection of historical Christian novellas all set near the Chesapeake Bay (three in Maryland and one in Virginia). The only connection between the novellas are the settings and the fact that they are Christian love stories, but they are all quite good, and I like them.

I enjoyed all four stories in this book. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys reading historical Christian romances.
