Chronicle Toward Books Revealed (Fountain Creek Chronicles #2)
Words, once spoken, can mend a broken life…or cripple it. But words left unspoken can haunt the soul, inflicting a far deeper wound. Annabelle Grayson has been given a second chance at life, but she can't claim it with the cloud of her past hanging over her in Willow Springs. After her husband dies, she advertises for a trail guide to accompany her to land waiting for her in Idaho—and a most unlikely candidate applies for the job. Matthew Taylor is a man on the run, with consequences of past mistakes pursuing him at every turn. Meeting Annabelle Grayson the first time was unpleasant enough, but when she crosses his path again, her presence in his life—and what she reveals—is devastating. If given a single wish, Matthew would turn back time and right a grievous wrong. If given a second wish, he would make Annabelle Grayson pay.Define Books In Pursuance Of Revealed (Fountain Creek Chronicles #2)

This definitely was a great read. I enjoyed this story so much because it was about Matthew Taylor, who had feelings for Kathryn in the first book. He was denied of course. Matthew Taylor has returned home to apologize to his brother and start over with him. He said some hurtful things about his brothers wife because she was formerly a prostitute. His brother bought her and married her and Matthew is at a loss of why. Annabelle Grayson has finally felt love without restrictions in Jonathan. SheThis 2nd adaption was as good as the first book! I enjoyed reading about Annabelle and Matthew, they were such interesting characters in book 1 and I was hoping they'd be in book 2! The beginning was sad as Annabelle's husband passed away, leaving her and her unborn child alone. She returns to her old home to bury her husband and hires a guide to lead her to the new home her deceased husband had bought for them. Matthew leads her across the plains and they both learn to be friends during the
What can I say, Tamara Alexander is a master at weaving the spiritual and the romantic. I'm almost afraid to pick up her stories for the depth at they which they speak to me. In this book taking a character introduced in book #1 of this series, and revealing her past and her present over time with her husband's brother (who loathed her) who is seeing her safely to Idaho. Watching her change and her efforts to find love with a man who wanted to only keep her where she had been... it was a work of
I really liked the characters in this installment of the series. It was a true eye opener for those who judge people without knowing them or why they do what they do.Great story of forgiveness, learning how to look at people from God's perspective instead of our own, and also how important it is to think before we speak. Once words are out they cannot be taken back.I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the Fountain Creek Chronicles.
I enjoyed the symbolism of the Atonement through out this one. How often do we try to do things, whether it is to pay for a sin or suffer through a trial, alone. The natural man makes us think that we can do it all. I appreciated the glimpse though these characters eyes that showed there are things in life that are bigger than we are.By the end I really was enjoying the book - BUT I felt like it took a while to get to that point. This edition changes from Kathryn and Larson's story to Annabelle
I really appreciate the depth of Alexander's writing. It has a lyrical flavor to it. Annabelle is such a likeable main character. I'd love to be her friend. Humility and lack of pride in herself is her blessing-- silver linings of her traumatic past. Matthew drove me nuts, but wow, the author knew what she was doing and constructed a slow evolution of character development and spiritual growth. I really enjoyed this book. It was subtle and even a little slow, but in a completely appropriate
A nice gentle historical romance in the western frontier if you don't mind some bible citation and religious tone. Hard to believe, certainly a miracle no doubt, the change in thought and attitude of the characters, specially the self-righteous, very judgmental "good man/ people". Also heartbreaking the probability of little orphan girls ending up in brothels.The story has some fast paced bits to spice the book.All in all I wouldn't say "fun" exactly but nice reading.
