But, can they find love if they don’t share their faith?

My review:
Novellas
seem to be getting such mixed reviews. They are really more like expanded short
stories, bits of stories for those who like shorter reads besides delving into
the time a full-length novel takes to read. Novellas are complete stories—just short.
Mowery’s
delightful, HEA romances fit the bill beautifully for those little book bites.
Romances are, by nature, predictable, but that’s what romance readers want…and
that’s what Mowery delivers with these two stories.
A nurse with
a passion and a mission, one who follows the still small voice of God, in The Prayer
Shawl, lives out her faith. When a young man who’s soured on faith and on s perpetual
hunt for the next best thing meets the woman with the “magic blankets,” he’s in
for keeps. He just doesn’t know it, until his past catches up with him and he’s
desperate for help. A marriage of convenience turns into something much more in
this sweet story of love and faith.
The second
story, Inheritance, is about two lost souls in different paths, who through
loss and grieving, and the legacy of joy, meet and bond. Instant love…can it
work? Alex and Chase are about to find out. This couple meet when Alex is at
her lowest point in life, and Chase on the hunt for a missing manuscript.
Though each of them have had plenty of disillusionment and reasons to curl up
and pass the blame, they never let go of the God who’s really in charge. A very
sweet and idealistic romance. Told through a mix of first and third person,
Inheritance will keep the reader turning pages.
Those who
like quick reads and purely HEA stories will enjoy these novellas in Legacy and
Love.
