A rare kind of five-starts I loved all Tamera books I have read so far but this one is special This was my very last read of 2023 and my first read of A rare kind of five-starts I loved all Tamera books I have read so far but this one is special This was my very last read of 2023 and my first read of 2024, it was so good!!
The characters, plot, concept, and scenarios, the fact that this was fiction based upon some true incidents, characters, and buildings make this even more amazing.
I knew this book was going to be good because what else can you expect from Tamera Alexandra, her writing style pulls readers in so strongly into the plot that you'll feel like you're right there along with these beautiful characters Elenor and Marcus.
Adelicia Acklen Cheatham owner of Belmont mansion is one of Southern's richest women and is one of the key characters, her niece is Elenor who's one of the most beautiful women written, Ahh! This woman stole the show single-handedly with her character, her faith, her willingness to do what is God's purpose for life at any cost, and her pragmatic and independent mindset when it comes to marriage or courting or such parts of Life, this characteristic was probably why I just felt so connected to her. There were moments when I wanted to hug her and there were moments where I was inspired by her faith, trust, and love for God not as her only option but as her first choice, which felt beautiful to read.
Marcus! How should I describe him? He was willing to crave a change in Life not just in words but in an actual sense, coming from the background he has there was no doubt he has lots of fun, he comes off as charming but when we read we can see how he simply wants true love, a change in character, find joy and purpose in grafting and architecture.
The romance is slow-paced but I feel like the book calls for it, there are also enough secrets that it'll keep you hooked from the very first page. it was lovely to watch these two fall for each other's hearts, it was immensely satisfying to read these two get their HEA
This book was simple, beautiful, perfect, and lives up to its title It's a Gem!
Highly recommended for everyone who enjoys Historical Fiction, Christian fiction, or just a good read!!...more

But I'm totally in love with this book.. This book was written impeccably My Word !! I wish they could adopt me.. can I please be with you all.. Okay .. I'm gonna tell what stuck to me since there are so many reviews and book blurb is known
There are many things I wish I could tell but not everyone gets them right. Don't we all have a part in us which feels unworthy of all the love we receive , we want to love but quite don't know if we are doing it or not.. i was so connected to Eveline here.. there are so many emotions.. so many truths .. Coming to Barclay.. I liked him in the first two books and in this book I loved him.. literally I was awstruct.. there is so much to tell about Him, He taught me that it doesn't matter(hurts but still) if others don't return our love.. if not I then who will love them.. There are so many hidden truths in here..so much more on the plate for this book Acceptance Rejection Love Family Relationships God's truth relationship Our mistakes made unintentionally or intentionally. . past. ..regrets All of this was weaved and penned to perfection.. All these emotions felt so raw and real and relatable.
I felt like there is a part Eveline and Barclay in me.. I think everyone has .. maybe that's the reason I liked this book so much
Will you all believe I literally felt tears at a point..(it's just me) these are the books that make me feel blessed for being able to read books Don't even get me started on the faith content .. as said Just Wonderful!! I don't this series to end.. I'm in major hangover (send help please) Their love confession made my heart race like marathon!!(So So good) I wish I can have Barclay ..oops Eveline took him (It's okay then Lord bless me with someone who loves like that) Thank you so much Mrs. White for writing such amazing books Thank you bookstagram community and Goodreads friends for recommending me this series and joining me in talking about this beauty...more

I agree to it all.. literally there are many times I just felt I was literally there. With them.. feeling them. Willa is wonderful and her character build up and transformation of faith was the best part .. she's just you know a person who's hurt so much that she doesn't believe in God but the way she comes to trust Him and have faith just speaks volumes about this book I was truly truly amazed by the characters they were all so good.. like it's amazing y'all Lukas -Swoony hero, his faith and back to devotion from his old life was definitely appreciated part, the best goes to His love for Willa. Mmm should I say more....more

Rosie is darn darn beautiful (inside out).. their journey together was wonderful It's quite a journey.
I didn't realize when I fell in love with Peter and Rosemary.. I totally didn't get when I've started to feel depth of their personalities.. they're truly intriguing and totally loveable I was constantly fearing when I'd come to end I'd seeing Peter realizing truth and hate Rosemary or what would Rosie do ?? How on Earth is she gonna get settled.. Her decision to Dare to do the right thing and get prisioned externally and become free internally.. I didn't realize how it would end.. but Mrs. White had done it perfectly.. I enjoyed this book so much

It was an okay read, this is my first book by the author, heard great things about this but was quite disappointed though the written style is good.. It was an okay read, this is my first book by the author, heard great things about this but was quite disappointed though the written style is good.. I couldn't connect to their romance... I've read some historical Romances enough to say if I enjoyed it and connect to it or not
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I wanted too.. I felt there was too much of unnecessary side explanations.. the mystery was quite expected .. I didn't feel suprised or twist.. and coming to romance I wish there was more conversation and character romance development .. it felt a bit.. bland And yeah,I didn't get that historical place feel ..you know that century living feels
But I like the writing style.. I will other books by her...more
