Stealing the Preacher by Karen Whitemeyer-Review

Can you be happy if your life dreams take a turn?

Stealing the Preacher by Karen Whitemeyer is truly an Inspirational historical romance.  It starts out with Crockett Archer, on a train, going from Palestine, TX to Brenhem, TX in view of a pastoral position at a church there.  While on the train he is forced by gunpoint by outlaws to go with them.

All Joanna wants for her birthday is a preacher.  When her daddy brings Crockett home she is appalled that he kidnapped him.  But after a time she begins to lose her heart to him.  Holly Brewster is also out to catch a man.  For sure with tw women pining for him he wil definately loose his heart, but to which one?

As I was reading this I could imagine the antics that Silas got into.  I found myself smiling, laughing, and even crying in this wonderful book. 

You may remember the Archers from Karen Whitemeyer’s Short-Straw Bride.  If you loved them as much as I did you will want to read Crockett’s story.  I hope there will be a third book on the Archer family. 

I was given this as an ebook through NetGalley and Bethany House for allowing me to review it and to give my honest opinion.
