This is a review post for a friend who has a new book out. I volunteered to spread the word because Sandra has such a beautiful way with a story. This sweet book is one of those that will keep you company on a rainy afternoon.

I like a little edge to my stories. I like some history. I like the characters to have REAL issues, not just dealing with wacky parents or a job they don't like or the fact they can't bake a good cake. (Oh, I thin I just described my own books, haha!) Anyway, this is a beautiful story that is relevant today, even thought it was written in the 80's.
Newly released and ready for you to enjoy, this is one you don't want to miss. A real story for real people, with real love involved. We're not talking fluff. We're talking PTSD, family tragedies, war, and having the guts to work toward healing.
But then it had the romance I expected from the cover. I'm romance fan and I'm proud to stand up an shout it to the world... and then I promptly sit down to read another book. Anyway, this couple wasn't contrived. This love grew from a true meeting of minds and hearts.
Definitely a keeper... AND a re-reader. :)
I reviewed a complimentary review copy in exchange for posting my honest opinion of the book for the blog tour.
Enjoy! And I'll see you all in a little bit
Fun/sweet review! Thank you so much for being a part of the blog tour! This is a great last post for the tour (before the conclusion on Friday). :)

Hi Amber! *waves*
DeleteHi Virginia, Thank you so much for the lovely review. I've been waiting for this all week. smile
ReplyDeleteI'm like you. I like a little edge to the story. I know it will be tough on some people, but many others like an edge also. Real life has lots of edge. And I love to read how a hero or heroine overcome with faith, hope and love.
Thanks again for sharing in the blog tour. This has been my first and has been so much fun.
I'm so glad it's worked out well! Maybe some day I'll be brave and have one, too!!
DeleteYes, be brave. Your stories are wonderful. And the tour is really fun.
Deletehaha! How's the water, eh?? What's really odd is it's hard for my brain to think of it... BLOG TOUR. What does that even mean?? But now that I've been a part of one, I think it makes more sense.
DeleteHi, Virginia! I'm part of the blog tour and just checking in with some of the other bloggers. I SO agree with your "having the guts to work toward healing." That is real life and true love! Sandra wrote about real issues with such compassion. Good to read your blog! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherida! Thanks for stopping in!
DeleteThank you Sherida, That was really sweet.
DeleteHi, Sandra! I have your new book and I can't wait to read it! Hi, Virginia!
ReplyDeleteHi Cara! It's a wonderful book! I was sad when it ended!
DeleteHi Cara, Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy reading Love's Miracles. I sure do enjoy your books, Cara. smile
DeleteThanks for the review, Virginia! I have a copy and can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteOh, Missy, you'll love this one! It's got everything you want in a really good story. Now I want ANOTHER!
DeleteAnother? Oh my. I better get busy. See what you started Missy?
DeleteWe'll keep bugging you, Sandra! :)
DeleteWaving to Virginia and Sandra!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read Love's Miracles! My Kindle is waiting...
Waving back Debby. Don't you love your Kindle? I just got a new Kindle Fire and it is so fun.
DeleteHi Debby! I love all these visits!! I wish I'd spruced up my blog a little bit. hung some twinkle lights, put on some music, lit candles, etc!!
DeleteVirginia, what a wonderful review! This is one of the few Sandra works I'm not familiar with so I bought it but haven't read it yet.... This was a Pre-Ruthy Sandra story!
ReplyDeleteI love that a well-told story ages well. That it withstands the test of time. Kudos, Sandra!!!
And I'm looking around for coffee, and umm... this New Yorker sees NONE. Really??? No java? Is there a Starbucks nearby, mayhap? Or a Caribou Coffee shop? Hot water and instant Nescafe????
:)
Good seein' youse over here!
Hi Ruthy, Thanks for dropping by. I remember when we searched out a Dunkin Donuts in Florida. I think I see one around the corner. I'll bring you some pronto.
DeleteI made snickerdoodles also. Want some?
Dumb question. Of course I'll bring those too.
Hahahaha! This is why we love each other because we know each other. You'd be eating fruit.... And I'd sigh and grab a handful of cookies. But we wrote great stuff together!!!
DeleteYou bet. I learned so much from you Ruthy.
ReplyDeleteNow don't let that go to your head. chuckle
Oh my gosh! I get these notifications in my e-mail and I saw I had 9 new e-mail and thought SOMEONE HAD DIED. Hhahahaha! You girls have been busy over here!
ReplyDeleteOk, because Ruthy is such a whiner, there's some hot coffee and cinnamon rolls and granola and yoghurt and... Oh, wait. It's afternoon here. Um, I'm making chicken masala. Does that count? Probably too weird for the Yank, but I'm cooking it anyway!!
Oh my, Chicken masala is one of my favorites. If the Yank doesn't want it, I'll take her portion.
DeleteWhat a fun post! I love your excitement for Sandra's book! I too am part of the blog tour and wanted to stop by all of the stops and see what everyone else had to say about Sandra's book. :)
ReplyDeleteJULIE!!!I came by to say "hey" to Virginia and Sandra and just had to say how IMPRESSIVE you are, my friend, to check out all the other blog stops for Sandra -- you are SUCH a doll, you know that??
DeleteHugs!!
Julie
Hi Julie and the other Julie!!!
DeleteThanks Julie, You bloggers have been super.
DeleteSandra, congratulations on the release. My reward at the end of my day isn't chocolate..it's to read a bit of Love's Miracles before bed!!!
