Initially, I had just done a post on the first book in this series but decided to finish the entire group and write about all of them at once since I was pretty sure I would have similar feelings about each one.

This is a great series of stories!  I was actually amazed at how each one was so different even though they all center around missions of the same group of Navy SEALS.

I appreciated the adventure and intrigue even though there wasn't really mystery which is usually what I go for.

Also, the premise of the series is a military unit that is made up entirely of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, hence, the name of the series, Saint Squad.  Of course there are obvious references to the church and religion but I liked how Traci wasn't "preachy"...just more factual.

There was nothing I objected to and can easily recommend it to others.  

I can easily recommend this series!

Apparently there are still more coming out, so more adventures to come :)

Protecting Her Heart

I flew through this book!

Loved the plot and the characters...I don't know what made it so intriguing but I just kept coming back to it.  I guess murder mysteries do that to me.

I will heartily recommend this one!

The Great Divorce

I was invited to join a book group devoted entirely to C.S. Lewis.

I really haven't read much of his works before so this will be a new experience.

I started with The Great Divorce.

I read it in a couple of hours and was surprised by how interesting it was.

I was disappointed that there was {Language} in it :(

However, there were some fascinating thoughts about Heaven and Hell...very thought provoking.

I could recommend this book in spite of the few profanities and cursings.

Charming the Recluse

This book took me a little bit to get through...a little slow feeling.

I don't remember anything that was objectionable.

There was a little bit of the supernatural written into the plot.  Sometimes that bothers me but it didn't seem to be too out of place in this story so I tolerated it.

I could recommend this book based on cleanliness but probably won't just because it didn't grab my attention as being too unique.

Persuasion - A Latter Day Tale

 

***1/2

As far as her Latter Day Tales go, this one was midish for me.

I liked it but it did seem to drag on a bit.

There was possibly one or two {Uncomfortable Moments} but not bad.

After reading all three of these, I like them but the strong mentions of the church and its culture seem to definitely limit her audience...maybe she's fine with that.

But with that in mind, I can definitely recommend them based on cleanliness standards.

Sense and Sensibility - A Latter Day Tale

 

***1/2

PG

This was a fun, fast moving, version of Sense and Sensibility.

I enjoyed the characters and the modern versions of the events in the original story.

There was nothing objectionable other than a possible {Uncomfortable Moment}.

I can easily recommend this book!

Skye Fall

I really liked this book!

The whole series has been great.

The Isle of Skye is a bucket list item for me so that was a fun setting for the first portion of the book.

I did feel like there was just a little too much description in the romantic moments (Too Much Passion) but other than that it is squeaky clean and I can fully recommend it!
