I wasn't excited about the premise of this book, and didn't like some of the pride issues, but ended up being pretty sweet. Definitely some more mature relationships (as in, well past the lusty, googly-eyed phase), which I appreciated. I like how Alexander's books aren't necessarily 'Christian' so much as 'Inspirational'. I had never really seen a distinction before--it's not often I actually feel inspired to change my life after reading fiction, but this had some nuggets of wisdom/perspectiveRekindled is a debut novel for Tamera Alexander and it won a RITA award in 2014 as a first book. Christian historical romance can often be synonymous with clean romance with Scripture thrown in. This one is definitely not that trope, in fact it seems to address all the common myths you find in romance. Set in Colorado in 1868, the author wastes no time creating a setting that is authentic. The characters are lifelike, only exception being the villains. This is the story of a marriage that is in
Oh wow! I read this book in one night. I cried countless times! What a beautiful book and great reminder of God's love . I'm speechless over it actually. Tamera Alexander is one of my new favorites.
3.8 -- I enjoyed this book, although I did think it dragged a bit in a few places. I felt sorry for one of my favorite characters, but I just knew that he and another character would get a story in the second book. I would have been disappointed if there were no sequel.
I liked the basic premise... husband disappears for 5 months, a body is found with his stuff so they think it is him--dead. In reality, he was caught in a horrible fire and has been getting nursed back to health so he can return to her. When he returns, she does not recognize him. They fall in love again, at a different time, place, and under different circumstances. UNFORTUNATELY, I found myself skipping large portions of the book--a bit overdone for me in the preachy and scripture quoting
Just when I believe that I have learned Tamera Alexander's style and can no longer be surprised at how well she writes, I read this first book in her Fountain Creek Chronicles series and was amazed. Unlike most of the novels I have read by her, this one was much more solidly and overtly Christian, and the themes of redemption, purification, forgiveness, and restoration were essential pieces of the plot. In addition, there was a large element of mystery and suspense in this historical romance
Phew. Goodness me, what a book! I don't think I was in the right mood when I picked up this one. Rekindled is a beautiful and heart-warming redemption story, but so difficult to read! I think I was feeling too low-spirited for a novel about characters who were low-spirited themselves and kept encountering hardship upon hardship. The first few chapters were just so sad and depressing! The heroine seemed a kind-hearted and strong, purposeful woman, but the hero was very tortured and bitter and it
