Healing Love Blog Tour- Day 3

Today our review is from Mary Fields Jackson of The Mary Reader.

Here is a snippet of Mary's review:

This was the first book that I read of Laura's. Let me tell you I can not wait to read her first series. She is so talented.  She knows her stuff when it comes to the Amish. I could not put this book down, I read it in one sitting. It was a very easy and fun read. I felt like I was right into the story

Thanks to Mary and to all the reviewers!!

Healing Love Blog Tour- Day Two

Today our blog post is from Barbara Taylor from Missouri

This review can be viewed on Facebook on Barbara's page, or on amazon.com

From the first page your reeled into the story. The story seems predictable but leaves room for the imagination. I recommend this book because of the easy flow of the story although I think its more geared to young adults.

**Thanks to Laura Hilton and Anchor Distributors for sending me a free copy of " Healing Love" to read and review for the book tour. 

Thank you Barbara for your review.

This is not the first Amish fiction book that I have read by this author.  I loved every one of them.  Healing Love did not disappoint me.  I was drawn in from page one and the story kept building right to the last page.  I would highly recommend this book to all Amish fiction lovers.  Thank you  Laura V. Hilton for another delightful read.  I’m looking forward to your next published book.
