Love Without Limits

It Doesn’t Take a Perfect Person to Find a Perfect Love
 
 Even though he was born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic created a “ridiculously good life.” But after dating disappointments and a failed relationship, he reached his mid-twenties worried that he would never find a woman to love him and share his life. 
 
Then Nick met Kanae and everything changed.  But even with undeniable chemistry, they would have to navigate twists and turns worthy of a romantic comedy before becoming "one" in marriage. 
 
 In Love Without Limits Nick and Kanae tell how they improbably found each other, fell in love, and then fought to overcome skepticism from others about their relationship. Filled with practical insights that will benefit any couple, this inspiring book describes a godly courtship and the early years of the Vujicics’ marriage and parenting journey. 
 
Above all, Love Without Limits is an inspiring reminder that when Christ is at the center of a relationship--even with serious challenges--true love will triumph.

My take:

I had already read about when Nick met and fell in love with Kanae in one of his other books. So I really like that she told her side of the story in this book. The first half of the book seemed geared more towards singles and the last half more toward married couples. So it's a great read if you're single or if you're in a relationship. Readers will enjoy reading about Nick stories, he leads a very interesting and entertaining life, Kanae also writes several sections on her perspective. They give some very good advice on dating, marriage, and having kids Etc. Without speaking outside of their own experience. One thing that stood out is how normal Nicks life seems. He does write about living with a disability, but mostly he writes about the same things everyone deals with in life. His wisdom about life, love and marriage is worth reading no matter your age or your disability.

Favorite Quote: 

You and I have the power to turn even the most painful experiences into sources of good. We can do that if we choose to think of them as part of God's plan to make us stronger and more trusting of his love as well as the love of others.

Love Unexpected by Jody Hedlund

1859

Presque Isle, Michigan What Is the Secret That Could Shipwreck Both of Their Lives?
All Emma Chambers ever wanted was a home, but when her steamboat sinks just outside Presque Isle, she's left destitute and with no place to stay.

An unlikely solution arises when the lighthouse keeper arrives in town. He's just lost his wife and is having a difficult time caring for his child. So a traveling preacher gets the idea that the keeper and Emma might be the answer to each other's dilemma. After a hasty marriage, she finds herself heading to the lighthouse with this handsome but quiet stranger. Nothing in her aimless life, though, has prepared her for parenting a rambunctious toddler, as well as managing a household.

Emma soon suspects Patrick may be hiding something from her, and then she hears a disturbing rumor about the circumstances surrounding his late wife's death. It seems as if her wish for a home and family of her own could end up leading her once more into turbulent waters.

My take:

I don't know why, but arranged marriages have always kind of fascinated me, I think it's because its not what were used to, it's interesting to think it actually happened in the old days. Sadly not all of them turned out good, but it's enjoyable to read about the times when they did. This is the first of Jody Hedlunds books that I have read and I can't wait to read more, especially the yet to come books in the new Beacons Of Hope series. There was a lot of suspense and mystery in this book, I was definitely intrigued even though I figured out what Patrick was hiding before it came out. I like the authors note at the end, in which Jody said which parts of the book are based on historical events, and which were not. All in all this was a good book, it was easy to get into and it flowed nicely I liked the characters in this story it will definitely keep your interest.

To Everything A Season By Lauraine Snelling

From the Back Cover

Beloved Author Lauraine Snelling Returns Again to Her Popular Red River Valley Setting
Trygve Knutson is devoted to his family and his community. With his job on the construction crew, he is helping to build a future for the North Dakota town of Blessing. Though he loves his home, he sometimes dreams of other horizons--especially since meeting Miriam Hastings.

Miriam is in Blessing to get practical training to become an accredited nurse. She's been promised a position in the Chicago women's hospital that will enable her to support her siblings and her ailing mother. Although eager to return to her family, Miriam is surprised to find how much she enjoys the small town of Blessing. And her growing attachment to Trygve soon has her questioning a future she always considered set in stone.

When a family emergency calls Miriam home sooner than planned, will she find a way to return? If not, will it mean losing Trygve--and her chance at love--for good?

MY TAKE: 
If you are a fan of Lauraine Snellings Red River Valley series this book is for you! I don't think this is Lauraines Best book. But it's still a really good book if you know the backstorys. I think Lauraine could've done a little better at making the book more about the supposed main characters. But if you look at it as Lauraine catching readers up on the Bjorklund family while introducing Tygrve (pronounced Trig-vee) and Miriam for the coming series it makes sense. When I read a new book in the series I usually have to skim through the past books to refresh my memory. (Although the family tree at the very first of this book was very helpful)! Last Lauraine wrote a new book about the Bjorklund family was in 2011 and she has four series based on the Bjorklunds! That's a lot of characters to keep up with! All in all I would recommend this book to fans of the Red River Valley series's because it could be majorly confusing for people who have not read previous series in this setting.but if you haven't read any of Lauraines  previous books I definitely recommend you start with the Red River Valley series! The first historical romance book I ever read was Red River Of The North #1 An  Untamed Land  and now Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres. 

Previous series include:

#1 Red River Of The North 

#2 Return To Red River 

#3 Home To Blessing 

#4 Daughters Of Blessing 

#5 Song Of Blessing
