I enjoy how the author takes readers to Wyldhaven, a western frontier in 1899. This is the fourteenth novel in the Wyldhaven series. Wash Nolan and Zoe Kastin are at the center of the story. They had intended to get married by this point, but when Wash returned with a bad injury, he ended his engagement with Zoe.

Because of her bravery, Zoe would not easily give up on Wash. Things worsen when a terrible incident takes place in the community at large. It motivates everyone to assist the impacted family. There were incidents where Wash's father hid from him. Could they track down the person responsible for these mishaps. The story had an interesting plot, and the narrative of the story was intriguing.

Beside Still Waters by Lynnette Bonner is a Historical Christian Western Romance. Zoe Kastain has loved Washington Nolan and wants nothing more than to marry him. But since he came back from the war injured, he refused to move forward with their plans to marry.

The author does an amazing job creating characters in this book that demonstrate both the strength of character as well as the strength of their convictions. As I began reading this book, I loved getting to know Zoe, Washington, and all those around them.

With marriage, family, love, friendship, and more, I found myself unable to put this book down. The characters along with the storyline come together beautifully.

So if you enjoy Historical Christian Western Romances, check out Beside Still Waters by Lynnette Bonner for yourself. I definitely recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )

I was very impressed with Zoe and her determination to marry Wash. She pushes aside the fact that when he came back from the was injured, he called off the wedding. He has secluded himself in his little cabin and wants nothing to do with anyone including Zoe. When you want something bad enough, sometimes you do go a little overboard but Zoe is so sure they are to be together.

I was excited to follow their journey and see if happiness would prevail. The emotions are very well written and I understood Wash’s hesitation at Zoe’s idea. Get ready for a few surprises in the story and also a little danger. I loved the other story line about a certain someone who wants to force someone off their land. The underhanded things done to achieve this will go against the law. Will someone end up injured or dead from this?

The author keeps us entertained with historical facts that splash across the pages. The meals were simple but filling as everyone pitched in to help provide for their families. Can you imagine having to boil water just to take a bath? I would not do well without a bathroom and an air conditioner. It goes without saying that we have it much easier than people living during the days where you lived off the land.

Get ready for an adventure filled with deceitful people, trust, forgiveness and second chances.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit.The review is my own opinion. ( )
