Tome Thursday: An Untamed Heart


Hello everyone!

So I just got back in from doing some early Christmas shopping. Brrrr, but it's cold outside now! I wish we'd get some snow as well, for the proper holiday feeling and all, but temperatures are definitely all Christmas-y now!

I was reminded of a very intriguing book I read a while back as I was perusing through the choices in our bookstore for my family, and decided to write about it tonight. The book is titled 'An Untamed Heart', and it was written by Lauraine Snelling. Now, I initially didn't even want to read any of Mrs. Snelling's books because I had gone through Janette Oke and most of hers, and thought I'd had enough of that kind of literature for a while, but in every one of Oke's books there would be some sort of introduction to a Lauraine Snelling book, so I eventually caved. For those of you who have never heard of the author before, she has written numerous children's books, but her most famous ones are the adult fiction she created about a town in North Dakota, Blessing; it is around Blessing that several of her series circle (Red River, Return to Red River, Daughters of Blessing, Home to Blessing, Song of Blessing), and 'An Untamed Heart' was the much-anticipated prequel to them all.
