Gingerbread Season ~ Review & Giveaway

Betsy St. Amant was so gracious to send me her latest release The Ginger Bread Season so i could read and review. I won one of her books Rodeo Sweetheart on a book giveaway. I had enjoyed reading the book so much that i began anticipating the release of her new book Gingerbread Season, since the day i finished reading Rodeo Sweetheart.

And now that i have read it, i thought i would post my review and give away a copy to one of you... the book is signed by the author herself. it is special....

THE BOOK:

Allie James returns to her hometown in need of a holiday job. Never did she expect old boyfriend Jordan Walker to hire her as his secretary! Years ago Jordan shredded her heart like wrapping paper. Now he must convince Allie that all he wants for Christmas is her love.

MY REVIEW: 

Allie James fled from Ginger Falls to Kansas City after a tearful seperation with her boyfreind Jordan Walker. She devoted several years learning the inner workings of the business,in hope of starting her own store one day. However, as the book store she worked for went under, she finds herself back at Ginger Falls, in search of a part time job. She is reunited with Jordan Walker after ten years, for a common cause...to revitalize Ginger Falls.

Will Allie be able to forgive Jordan? And what about Jordan? Will he be able to earn Allie's pardon... and win her heart back?

The Gingerbread Season is the second story in the Christmas novel, Mistletoe Prayers. I love the small town cozy settings of the plot... and thoroughly enjoyed the characters... the lovely festive ideas.  This is certainly a heart warming story... one that will make you want for more and wish the story was a little more longer... a perfect read for the season... and would make an absolutely perfect Christmas gift as well..:)

A Song In The Night

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, 

because his compassions fail not. 

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 

~ Lamentations 3:21-23

there are thousands of amazing artists 

but none as perfect as my God!

i love the divine sight of an evening sky...

a day has ended well by His grace.

i feel a strong assurance deep within, 

of a beautiful tomorrow.

thank you Lord!!

The early morning dew glistens adorning 

the tapestry of God's garden. 

Dawn gracefully spreads her wings 

and with joy declares His loving kindness. 

The rising sun smiles upon the earth, 

radiantly shining forth God's glory. 

Nature humbly genuflects honoring 

the Creator and His Righteousness. 

Daylight exhibits exquisite paintings 

of the heavens and the earth. 

Shades of colors unmatched by man, 

uniquely designed by God's loving hand. 

A picturesque view, beautiful to behold by those 

who have eyes to see royalty displayed, 

Evidence of God's perfect love 

with excellencies so grand. 

A candle-like glow of the setting sun portrays 

God's majestic handiworks. 

Brilliant spectrums softly brush the sky, 

filling our hearts with breathless delight. 

The daytime slowly dissipates, 

glittering stars and moon now earth's light, 

And while the dawn peacefully sleeps, 

God becomes our sweet song in the night.

i thank each of you who responded to the prayer call for Skyler.  i'm thrilled beyond words to know that there are many praying in this beautiful blog land. i'm thrilled that although miles and nations apart we can unite our hearts and lift our requests up to the throne of grace. 

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 18:19

so dearests, i'd like you all to add one more request to your prayer list.
