A Faithful Proposal Review

With a few well-placed words in the right ear, Anna Tunstall can direct anyone to do her bidding, exactly the skill needed for one destined to be the wife of a man in politics. A summer visit to a friend's country estate is the perfect distraction before the London Season begins, and Anna can achieve her ambition of a perfect match.

Harry Aston has spurned the noble aspirations of his family to enter holy orders where he might make a difference in people's lives. When Harry finds Anna unconscious on the road, and she awakens in his arms, his world shifts at her gaze. But before he can think that heaven has come through at last, he must convince Anna that her prolonged stay in Avebury is not fate's way of toying with her, but rather opening her eyes to a new direction for her ambitions and her heart.

Review - A Faithful Proposal (Memorable Proposals 2) was a fun romance to read. I enjoyed Harry and Anna's characters. I didn't always agree with the side characters' views of Anna, but as a reader I could learn about her feelings, thoughts and fears whereas the other characters didn't have the view. The story is a fast, fun read. I felt like the author did a good job with the pacing of the action and dramatic turning points. I would suggest reading the first book first, A Regrettable Proposal. Some of the actions, characters and story line mention events from the first book and I think it would be confusing to the reader to read the books out of order. I did edit the description of the book from what was on Amazon when creating this post - Harry's mother was only a passing remark from his brother and wasn't involved in the story. I think Regency Romance Fiction readers would enjoy this story. To learn more, click here.

Heart of Africa Spotlight Tour

Gabriel Ngandu is a young Congolese revolutionary running from the terrible mistakes of his past. His journey of escape leads him to new experiences and even a new religion that challenges long-held beliefs about his destiny and world around him. He find himself torn between the influences and expectations of two very different father figures - Mwabila, his revolutionary leader, and President Kabasubabu, his new religious leader. Called to serve as a missionary, he is sent back to his native village to build an orphanage with Jason Martin, an American who also has a tragic and secret past. Together, they struggle to understand and overcome their histories, cultures, and prejudices to serve the people around them.

Caught between enmity and reconciliation, revenge or forgiveness, intolerance or understanding, they begin to see the potential for a better; more peaceful future for themselves and for the Congo. Worlds finally collide when explosions rock the new orphanage and Kabasubabu is kidnapped by Mwabila's revolutionaries. Gabriel is faced with choosing between the two different worlds of these father figures... or finding his own path toward a new world inspired by understanding and redemption.

Games that are Fun and Educational for Preschoolers

I love doing games with my kids. Board games and card games teach kids how to take turns, learn patience, good sportsmanship, counting/color recognition and more. Games are also a nice way to spend time together as a family. Here are some of the games my family enjoys:

1. The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game: This game is great at helping kids recognize their colors, learn to follow the rules and take turns. My kids love this game. We started playing it when my daughter was around 2 and my son was 4. It's a great game for beginning game players. Click here to learn more.




2. The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Card Game: This slapping card game is a lot of fun. I would suggest playing it when your kids when they have have quick color recognition skills. It can be really fun for kids. My kids laugh hysterically while playing this game. Click here to learn more.

3. Frankie's Food Truck: I regret not adding this game to our collection sooner. My daughter had a hard time distinguishing the differences between shapes especially if you caught her off-guard. I tried numerous books and homemade games, but nothing really clicked for her. This shape game really helped her to recognize her shapes. It's a fun game and I would recommend it to families with preschoolers. It's very much like The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel game, but with shapes instead of colors. Click here to learn more.


 


4. Candy Land: Candy Land is a classic game for kids and can help them recognize their colors, taking turns and how to move forward in a game. It's a great first game for young children. We love playing Candy Land. To learn more, click here.





5. Dragon's Breath: Dragon's Breath is a fun game for preschoolers. My daughter and I played it twice in a row the other day because it was a lot of fun. It can help kids learn to take turns, counting (count your gems at the end), color recognition, and strategy (try to guess which color would have the most). It's a fun game that I would recommend trying. To learn more, click here.
