Princess Alia is a gifted pianist, and also the heir to the crown of the kingdom of Blue Sky. Her kingdom has been at war for twelve years, and it has just ended.
On the day after her sixteenth birthday, Princess Alia discovers she's being given away in marriage to a man she's never met. For her safety, she's got to travel in secret, disguised as a chicken farmer's daughter, to the kingdom of Yonder. She's about to get an education she never imagined.
This is a Ruritanian fantasy, set in two imaginary European countries. It never pretends to be anything that it's not. The prince she is betrothed to is Prince Ron. Along the way, she encounters giants, dwarves, and gnomes. She crosses a swamp that's a special kind of trap for the unwary, and a meadow that's a magical respite.
For all these fantasy elements, and the lack of pretense in many of the details that this story is in any way realistic, the pampered Alia gets an excellent education in the real world of the lower classes of the two kingdoms, and Alia, Ron, and many of the characters around them are likable and interesting. It's an enjoyable story, and while there's certainly a message, it's in no way heavy-handed or overbearing.
A very pleasant interlude. Recommended for those who enjoy likable characters, "clean" romance, and are freewheeling enough to enjoy the Ruritanian aspects of this one.
I think I bought this book. I don't always remember, when I have put a book aside for a few weeks before I bring it to the top. Regardless, I am reviewing it voluntarily.… (mehr)

Compelling characters, strong Christian theme, situational and verbal humor, and a really nice read. It is fun and interesting, a nice break from some of my other recent reads.
To be perfectly honest, I picked it up because it was narrated by Valerie Gilbert who can do perky like few others, and that's just what I wanted that day!

While the plot seemed intriguing enough for me to download this freebie, I was not impressed by the dialogue or the how the story moved along. Yes, it was clean, but it was also too dry for my taste. Where's the wit? Where's the humor? There's nothing funny to comment on either.
I really need a story that draws me in, but this book fails miserably in that respect. I'm not even going to bother with Part Two.

FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY (FRIED CHICKEN #1)
by Sherri Schoenborn Murray
In this fun novel about loving and loss, we follow Missy Stuart and her father Big John Stuart in their automotive repair business and the people they come into contact with. Robert is a commission-only automotive parts supplier who is looking at Big John as a future customer. Big John is known area-wide for his dealings with solicitors. For that reason, Robert is determined to be called by his name and not by the other nicknames that Missy and Big John assign to him.
Missy's mama died when she was only 10, so she missed out on the teachings of the womanly arts, that her daddy and brother Doug would greatly appreciate. Missy is sure that if she had those skills like cooking, nice clothing, and a fancy hairdo, Doug's best friend Gary would finally notice her for the woman she is, instead of Doug's little sister.
Robert knows that he can help Missy to become the woman she is meant to be, with help from his mother's cooking classes and all kinds of sparks fly.
Not only is this novel a romance, with cooking lessons and recipes, but it is also a tool to help a person know Jesus and God's promises. It's refreshing to see an author who's not afraid of tackling God issues in these trying times of the world. Highly recommend.
With much gratitude, I received a complimentary copy of #FriedChickenAndGravy from #SherriSchoenbornMurray @SherriSchoenbornMurray #ChristainRomances @ChristianRomances I was under no obligation to post a review.… (mehr)
