Anne by Rena Groot is a work of Historical Romantic Fiction. This book is part of the Prairie Roses collection. In 1881, nineteen-year-old Anne traveling west finds herself a widow after U.S. Marshal Logan kills him.

Filled with themes of hardship, faith, prayers, Scripture references, and forgiveness, Rena Groot created a book that drew me in and kept me reading. She also illustrates how sometimes family ties can be created from experiences.

I also loved how Anne used writing in a journal to express her thoughts and feelings. A redemption arc plays out through Anne’s willingness to forgive someone who brings elements of danger into the story. Truly, this book is one with well-developed characters and a well-thought-out storyline.

So if you enjoy works of Historical Romantic Fiction, check out Anne by Rena Groot for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

With the opening pages readers can get a feel of how hard it was during the late 1880s. There was the threat of the Jesses James group who robbed and killed innocent people that many feared. The weather was not always favorable and trying to survive on the Oregon Trail was very hard.

I like Anne and her fierce, determined and strong character. Being a mail order bride was something she thought would give her happiness. She was quite young and faced so many tragedies. The death of her husband shatters her hopes and dreams. Now she must face having to be around the man who killed her husband. I think it would be very difficult to be near the man who murdered someone I loved.

Logan is very humble and strong in his faith. He decides to help Anne and has her join him on his journey. He wants to protect her and knows she is angry with him. Faced with tough questions he tells her the true facts about her husband that she never knew about. I thought about how people can deceive others when they are not face to face getting to know each other. It is a shock to face the harsh reality that the the man she married was violent and ruthless. Logan continues to show grace to Anne and realizes that he is starting to have feelings for her.

I enjoyed the story and how the author describes the many obstacles our two main characters faced. A simple task we do every day like brushing our teeth was hard for our main characters to accomplish. The thought of brushing my teeth with mint leaves, and twigs does not sound appealing. When the author mentioned how many people lost teeth due to not brushing I thanked God for the simple things we take for granted.

I learned many things about this time period which showed me how we need to trust God and know that he will supply our needs. Forgiveness is a big lesson for Anne and I loved how she relied on her faith to help her. It had to be hard to forgive someone who caused you pain, but Anne knew she had to overcome what was holding her back from happiness. This is a great story where adventure, danger, forgiveness and faith work together and show how faith can move mountains.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Set in 1881, a treasure of a story. Simply, deeply, faithfully told. Anne is a new mail order bride on a wagon train when her husband is killed. Her travels and trials from there are full of deep pain and great joys, supported by scripture. Beautiful descriptions of the scenery as they travel. Several historical lessons of the areas they went through. Rena is a great storyteller!

I received this book free from the author, publisher and CelebrateLit book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Convergence by Rena Groot is an Apocalyptic Fiction based on the Book of Revelation. Continuing the story of Josh, Rachel, and the end times described in the book of Revelation. Rena Groot does an excellent job of building characters and a storyline to draw in the readers.

As Josh refuses to bow down to anyone but the one true God, he faces imprisonment and shares the Gospel’s message with those around him. Unlike the previous books in the series, Josh’s storyline takes second place to the author describing John and his time at Patmos. She does an excellent job of including Biblical truth with fiction. I loved how this series’s culmination played out through this book’s pages.

So if you enjoy works of Apocalyptic Fiction based on the Book of Revelation, check out Convergence by Rena Groot. I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.
