So, I'm in the bookstore the week before Christmas. There's a few bucks of my shopping allowance left and Jeannie likes to read, so let's see what's available. I scan the shelves and my eye stops on a really classy cover design. It's got old books on it--which I'm a sucker for--so it's at least worth pulling off the shelf for a look-see.
Hmmm...Bookends. Clever title (I think). Let's see what else it's got going for it

Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people -- of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town -- could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged ... or uns

Story about Jonas Fielding and Emilie, placed in Lititz, PA. She a Moravian historian and he a community planner, building a gold course over an area she wanted to dig to find the remains of a Moravian church foundation. A love story that turns out right!

This book moved a bit slow for me. The time it takes place in isn't exactly a time period I like to read about, but overall it was interesting. It was at least a good story line, and if I had nothing else to do, I might read it again.

This was written in typical LCH fasion. While it was well-done, I didn't relate much to the humor/bantor/etc due to the fact that the book's main characters were a bit older than myself. But good lesson on faith & trust in the Lord.

The beginning was slow and there were slow spots throughout, but it was a good story with great characters. I fell in love with the heroine and hero. This is probably not my favorite Higgs book, but I did enjoy getting to know the characters.

Delightful book. Very Christian orieted. I enjoyed it. About interaction between Jonas & Emilie, complete opposites in their personal life but bond because of common religion. She an historian, He a builder and developer.

Being married to someone opposite of my personality type, I could relate to this charming, faith-oriented story. Easy read, characters that I wanted to meet for real, and a pleasant setting. Cute and humerous story!

LOVED this book! As well as her other contemporary novel. Didn't care so much for her books set in Ireland..not sure why..just wasn't my cup of tea. But I wish she would write another contemporary one.

This was a random library find that I ended up really enjoying. It's a light romance with a lot of humor thrown in. The conclusion is obvious, but it's a lot of fun getting there.

Loved it! As opposed to most of her books, this is a contemporary romance and it is charming. We read in summer Christian fiction book club.

This was definitely a laugh out loud book for me! I loved the characters. They reminded me of myself and Kevin. After I finished it I wanted to go right back to the first page and read it again!

I just wasn't impressed with the story. The characters seemed kinda flat and too perfect.

A nice quick read for a lazy afternoon. Enough changes of direction to keep you guessing.

Got this cheap at Hastings on a whim. It was a cute love story. Clean and I enjoyed the religion aspect of it. It wasn't completely in your face and I learned about the Moravian religion which I had never heard of before.

Cute story although it took me a while to get into apparently supposed to be humorous but I don't see the humor...

I enjoyed learning more about the Moravian religion. I knew next to nothing about that religion, so that was really interesting. The book also reminded me to examine where my relationship with Christ was. Do I profess to know Him or do I really know Him? So I enjoyed what I learned from the book.
I thought the writing was so-so and the main character didn't have a lot of charisma, but there you go. An okay book.

A very sweet book, but nothing exciting. I'm gonna go with it as an airplane book. As a book to crack open for fun...well...I kinda had to make an effort to finish it. It was a bit predictable. I didn't have much else to do otherwise I probably wouldn't have ever finished it.
