A "jewel" of a romance!!
By L. Smith
The Jewel of His Heart takes us to the mountains of Montana in the 1890s, where we find Josh McBride herding sheep with his faithful companion, Shebe. Josh had a falling out with his father three years earlier, which lead to his decision to pursue shepherding instead of ranching. He met, and hired, Andy as his cook, as well as, his sheepherder. Even with quite a bit of years between them, they've become close friends who work really well together. Josh is always telling Andy, "If you were a woman, I'd marry you", because he's an excellent cook!
We also meet Juliana Brady, who lost her mother suddenly, and has no idea where her father is, or if he's even alive. She's not yet eighteen, but already feels all alone in the world. She's so mad at God for not bringing her father home, that she can barely stand to have a conversation that involves Him. She no longer attends church or reads her Bible, and since her mother passed away, she's even more angry. Her best friend, Marion Stockton, insists that Juliana move into her family's hotel indefinitely, since she has no where else to go. Juliana eventually finds a job, meets new friends, and starts to enjoy life again.
Even though Josh is falling for Juliana, he feels she is much too young to be interested in him, and that she could do a lot better than a lowly sheepherder like himself. Juliana has feelings for Josh, but tries not to entertain them because she promised her Mama that she would not depend on a man as her only means of survival; she's determined to take care of herself.
Josh and Juliana encounter some really tough times, but learn to lean on God, their friends, and each other to see them through.
The Jewel of His Heart is excellent!! I simply cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book, but I'll try my best! At first, I thought No Place for a Lady (book 1) was going to be my favorite book in this series, but now I'm not so sure...these are both wonderful books that will touch your heart. I met so many wonderful people in the town of Lewistown, that I'm sorry to leave them. There was one person I was not overly fond of throughout most of the book, but by the last few chapters, Wes Owen had carved himself a place in my heart. I'm hoping to see him again and find out what happens when God catches up with him! I'm also anxious to find out what happens with Josh's cook/sheepherder, Andy, and his lovely Nellie. I can't wait to read, A Love of Her Own (book 3), releasing in June 2010.
If you haven't had a chance to enjoy The Jewel of His Heart, or No Place for a Lady, please be sure to pick up your own copies as soon as you can...you just don't realize what you're missing! Be sure to visit Maggie at her blog: SouthernBelle Writer

Frustrating, and a little exhausting...
By L.S. Jones
When I first started reading this book, I was certain that it was going to be even better than book one (which I loved). I really liked the characters of Julianna and Josh, and a lot of the secondary characters (especially Shebe). I really cared about them and was routing for them to get together and be happy. I loved the cover, and for the first time ever, I allowed the characters in my mind to look like the cover images.
The couples relationship started developing really nicely, but... somewhere in the middle, it took a turn for the worse in my opinion. It became such a frustration to me that every time this couple might have minute to get to know each other, it was always interrupted with tragedy and high drama...you look forward to a nice little romantic reading, and we get instead, fires, explosions, and ant infestation. I did like the dramatic story line, but not at the total expense of the characters (and we as readers) getting to know each other, and having a genuine basis for being/falling in love. I think the 'ant bit' was supposed to be funny--but if something like that has ever happened to you--you know how truly horrible that is.
The tragedy was so constant (fire, burning sheep, explosions, dying men, dying dog, head wounds...etc), I never felt like I got a chance to just catch my breath and enjoy the love story...because if they weren't involved in high drama, then Julianna was being immature (she was, after all, merely 17) and was treating Josh badly. I must admit that I would have enjoyed the romance more, had Julianna been, say, two to three years older. I know too many 17 year old girls--and 'girls' they are-- to really lose myself in the idea of a 17 year 'woman' with a 30 year old man. And I was SO disapponted for Julianna that her father turned out to be...well...a loser and a criminal.
So anyway...unfortunately...I started out absolutely loving this...then halfway through it just fell apart for me, and I couldn't wait until it was all over.
And now I am left with a lingering problem. And that is, that I disliked Wes Owen so much, and envisioned him as such a repulsive character (right down to his chewing tobacco rotting teeth), that I am really going to have a hard time with him being the romantic lead in book 3. OOPS. Ms. Brendan really should have given us a few reasons earlier on to 'sort of' like Wes--to not think he was an ugly, creepy, slime-ball of a guy, like I was imagining him to be.
2.5 stars. Josh and Julianna deserved better.

A Jewel of a Book
By P. Smith
I really do despise reading a series out of order; and I am currently expecting book one in the mail... But I got this first and had nothing else new to read but boring old writing books, {wink} and I just couldn't wait. I finished it in less than a day.
I identified with this book and the characters on many levels. Juliana didn't want to be dependent on others--or a charity case. I have felt the same way with the limitations my health has placed on me. There is also the whole idea of how people associate or identify with you and how your personality is... perceived by others. Sometimes they can be mistaken. I have experienced that firsthand as well. I dabble in jewelry ~ and sapphires are my birthstone, so the whole history of the Yogo Sapphire was fascinating.
The characters all interacted in a natural way that was at once heartening and challenging. The author did such good work on all her characters that I expected even the smaller ones to walk into the room and sit down on the couch beside me. The love story between Josh and Juliana was beautiful, passionate and touching. I think Maggie has done a beautiful job and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
