A Love of Her Own by Maggie Brendan



She has everything her heart desires . . . except the one thing money can't buy

Still cautious after a broken engagement, April McBride fully intends to guard her heart when she travels to Lewistown, Montana, to attend her brother's wedding. One look around the small mining town convinces April that doing so won't be difficult--just a bunch of dusty shops, bad service, and ill-bred cowboys. But a run-in with horse trainer Wes Owen opens up vast possibilities for frustration, embarrassment, friendship, and . . . love?

Can April and Wes see past their differences to envision a future together? Or are they destined to live the rest of their lives alone?

Book three in the Heart of the West series, A Love of Her Own is an adventurous, spark-filled ride through love in turn-of-the-century Montana.

Here's my review of this enjoyable western novel:

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Maggie Brendan and her publisher for sending me a copy of "A Love of Her Own" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

Maggie Brendan’s latest effort, “A Love of Her Own”, is an enjoyable western tale that follows April McBride, on a journey of more than miles. This spoiled “little rich girl” is used to having her way – although she’s not ALWAYS opposed to hard work. When she leaves her father’s cattle ranch in Colorado to attend her brother’s wedding in Lewistown, Montana, her journey of character-building has just begun. She may have met her match in Wes Owen, who seems to be as stubborn as she is. Will either of these people ease up on their willfulness in order to give love a chance?

I must admit that I couldn’t stand April’s snooty attitude! At first, I thought she was a pretty down-to-earth gal. She enjoyed riding horses and preferred jeans and boots to dresses and heels. But then her bossy, spoiled, true colors began to show. Arrghhh! Very frustrating. Still, she was the absolute PERFECT character for this book. I was truly a treasure to watch this character grow into a woman of character.

The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 21 – Revelation 17-18

Two chapters on Mystery, Babylon.   She is the great whore.   She rides the beast.   She is the mother of harlots.   She is clothed in purple, scarlet and gold.   She reigns over kings of the earth.   She is caressed by the world.   She is sustained by the dragon (Satan). Chuck reminds us that the church of Thyatira is promised to go through the tribulation.   This is how.   If you recall the earlier lessons, the church of Thyatira was called the Medieval Church. Mystery, Babylon isn’t the beast, but she rides the beast.   There are ten clues in chapter 17 regarding her identity:   she’s a prostitute; she has universal influence all over the world; she is seated upon the beast; she is expensively adorned and outwardly attractive; she’s a utensil in God’s service but a counterfeit; she’s a mystery linked with the Babylon of Nimrod; she’s the mother of prostitutes who has spiritual offspring; she’s a persecutor of Christians...

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week Two – The Belt of Truth

Video #2 taught me this: ·          My enemy wants me to lean on my own understanding ·          My enemy wants me to trust my feelings ·          The devil disguises himself (2 Cor 11:14) ·          Satan’s attacks are deception; he is a master illusionist but his suggestions can never stand up to God’s Word ·          Just like the TSA runs an ID under a light to determine authenticity, we must run those things we want to authenticate under THE LIGHT (God’s Word) ! ·          "Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather, it is telling the difference between right and almost right." ~ Charles Spurgeon ·          The Bible is the unchanging ...
