*In an effort to spread the word about my favorite type of book – inspirational romance – I’m doing Christian Fiction Fridays here on my blog where I share my recommendations for books in this genre.
Head in the Clouds by Karen Witemeyer
What It’s About:
Adelaide Proctor is a young woman with her head in the clouds, longing for a real-life storybook hero to claim as her own. But when a husband-hunting debacle leaves her humiliated, she interviews for a staid governess position on a central Texas sheep ranch and vows to leave her romantic yearnings behind.
When Gideon Westcott left his privileged life in England to make a name for himself in America’s wool industry, he never expected to become a father overnight. And five-year-old Isabella hasn’t uttered a word since she lost her mother. The unconventionality of the new governess concerns Gideon–and intrigues him at the same time. But he can’t afford distractions. He has a ranch to run, a shearing to oversee, and a suspicious fence-cutting to investigate.
When Isabella’s uncle comes to claim the child–and her inheritance–Gideon and Adelaide must work together to protect Isabella from the man’s evil schemes. And soon neither can deny their growing attraction. But after so many heartbreaks, will Adelaide be willing to get her head out of the clouds and put her heart on the line?
My Thoughts:
This book has a great mix of light-hearted moments and serious challenges for the characters. Adelaide’s romantic notions are fun, and who doesn’t love a British hero like Gideon? This is the second book of Karen Witemeyer’s that I’ve read, and I like how she weaves bits of comedy throughout her stories while still having gripping scenes as things progress toward the ending.
Find this book here on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble.
I adore her books! I haven't read this one.
This books sounds great! And I LOVE the cover 🙂 Reminds me a little of Anne of Green Gables.
I haven't read this book. I do like the cover. Thanks for your review.
You're going to convert me completely.
Thank you for this new feature! (except like I really need another book to add to my enormous list to read). But I would like to add more Christian books to that list.
I loved your movie quotes post too! I have henceforth decided that more quotes shall be spoken at our dinner table.
So, I'm late commenting, but that cover alone is enough to make me read the book. I love it!
Great blog, cheers from Argentina!
