Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer

Stealing the Preacher
Who seriously can't enjoy a good novel that is set in the west?!  I'm a sucker for those settings for some reason.  I love going back in time to see how they roughed it and learned to live with outlaws and so much more.

Karen Witemeyer is an author that I will be reading every single book by from now on.  They are light-hearted books and in some ways, they remind me of Janette Oke's Wild West series.  Those don't have as much humor, but they still left me with the feeling that I wanted to read them over and over again.  She adds so much reality to her stories through her characters.  Even the situations are very real.  I appreciated one situation, which I won't spoil it for you, but that I think many people end up finding themselves in.  I liked how she showed the temptations and the solutions.

Another thing that I like about Karen is all of the intricate characters she puts in her books.  I learn so much about even the minor characters.  I feel like I have a connection with whoever has come across the pages, which helps me connect the dots later when I see that name come up. 

I'm a huge Karen Witemeyer fan and can't wait to see what's next.  I know I'll be sure to get it!
