“The only thing worse than being a spinster is being a twice-jilted spinster. At twenty-five, Catherine Morgan is hardly an old maid. But she’s given up on marriage and instead manages the family’s general store in the little town of Revenge, Ohio. Bound by a promise made to her mother to care for her three sisters until they marry, she’ll do anything to keep them safe. But Sheriff Corbin Hunter stands in her way. He has evidence that her sister’s fiancé is really an infamous bank robber – and the man who murdered his father. Catherine finds herself torn between saving her sister’s heart and losing hers to the man who jilted her seven years ago. Will Corbin’s desire for revenge cause him to lose Catherine a second time?”
Dishes were ignored, floors weren’t vacuumed and the family fended for themselves because I could not put this book down! Love Finds You in Revenge, Ohio is one of the best Christian historical fiction books I have read in a very long time. I will confess: historical novels are not at the top of my list of favorite types of books to read. However, the history of the late 1800’s, and the description of Revenge, Ohio (which actually does exist) are interwoven throughout the book so masterfully that I never realized I was being taught a history lesson. The suspense kept me up until all hours of the night and every time I thought I had determined “whodunit,” another surprise was mixed into the plot. And then there was the heroine and hero. Have you ever wanted to reach through the pages of a book and shake two people until they come to their senses? These two were more stubborn than the mules used to plow the fields. Above all, Catherine’s faith and that of her family was truly a blessing to behold.
Lisa Harris, award winning author of Christian fiction and nonfiction, has done it again. She has combined history with romance, suspense and faith in a book that will captivate readers for years to come. Thanks, Lisa, for the privilege of reviewing your book!

Thanks for stopping by, ladies!
Just to let you know, since Carmen mentioned it, the Love Finds You books is a great new line by Summerside Press. Mine is a historical, but they do offer both historicals and contemporary. And while they are all primarily romance, mine has a strong mystery/suspense line, which I love to include in my stories. :-)
I have read two of Lisa Harris books and they are simply CLEAN and great to read. Can't put them down even if it's late. Nice to have something to share with Christian friends after I have read her books.
I feel like a hog trying to win another one of her books - but try I will! Thank you..

Edwina,
I would look forward to reading a Christian historical romance. You might also enjoy reading this series, but be warned- the housework will really suffer as there are 3 or 4 books and you won't want to put them down!
The Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. She has written other books, but I haven't read them yet. ~Becky (rebeka at StitchedWithGrace dot com)
