While Love Stirs by Lorna Seilstad

I really like the cover on this book.  I like the fading colors in the back and the sharp, beautiful colors of the girl on the front.  I found it to be very appealing and drew me to the book.

I was really glad that Charlotte was featured in this book, which is the second book in the Gregory Sisters series.  She reminds me of who I would like to be sometimes!  (Don't worry... I'm not!). She's fiesta and has a strong personality that helps her in where she is wanting to go.  However, she also has a lot to figure out when it comes to God and laying down her will.

I got a lot of good laughs between Joel and Charlotte!  I found their encounters refreshing and in many instances, just funny.  Their quirks were fun to imagine a marriage with!

I like all of the Gregory sisters so I liked the update on Hannah.  I'm hoping Tessa gets the main feature in the next book.  I can only imagine how great that book will be with Tessa's personality!  I bet that Lorna Seilstad has a lot of fun writing these books and conjuring up the different scenarios!

I like historical fiction, but I think the history in these books make the story even better.  It's not heavy history, but it's definitely enough to set the stage and give you an understanding of the time period. 

Looking forward to book #3!

Take one lovely young woman.
Add two ambitious young men.
Stir . . . and stand back.
As a graduate of Fannie Farmer's School of Cookery, Charlotte Gregory is thrilled to have the opportunity to travel, lecture, and give cooking demonstrations on the very latest kitchen revolution--the gas stove. And she certainly doesn't mind that the gas company has hired the kindhearted Lewis Mathis to entertain at her lectures.

Lewis encourages Charlotte's work, especially her crusade to introduce fresh, appetizing, nutritious food to those convalescing in hospitals. But young hospital superintendent Dr. Joel Brooks is not convinced any changes should be made--especially by this outspoken young woman.

When Charlotte and Joel are coerced into planning a fund-raising gala for the hospital, will this combustible pair explode?

Follow the second Gregory sister as she looks for true love and makes her way in a rapidly changing world in this breezy, lighthearted love triangle that will keep you guessing.
