My Review
Serving Up Love: A Four-in-One Harvey House Brides Collection features novellas by Tracie Peterson, Karen Witemeyer, Regina Jennings, and Jen Turano. Memorable and engaging, each of these historical novellas is thoughtfully written and utterly delightful. All four stories contain well-developed characters, remarkable settings, and an abundance of sweet romance.
With novellas that are set primarily in the western
United States during the late nineteen and early twentieth centuries, this
collection includes stories that will appeal to lovers of history, romance,
mystery, and humor. Each novella tells the story of a different Harvey Girl as
she diligently serves railroad passengers, nurtures friendships, perseveres
through trials, strengthens her faith, pursues her dreams, and makes room in
her heart for hope and love.
I enjoyed this entire collection from the first page
to the last. Once I started reading, it was difficult to put it down. I was truly captivated by the fictional
worlds these authors created. I was easily drawn into the plot of each novella,
quickly connecting to the characters and the themes within each story. Their struggles,
successes, motivations, and fears kept me intrigued; while their grace, faithfulness,
perseverance and courage kept me inspired.
This collection contains four love stories that are
charming, romantic, and meaningful. Serving Up Love is a book that I will certainly
enjoy re-reading and sharing with others. I recommend it wholeheartedly to all
readers.
