The miner's lady

“I received this book from Bethany House Publishing for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are my own.”

“When Chantel Penetta's younger sister claims to be in love with Orlando Calarco, Chantel knows there is no hope. The Panettas and Calarcos have been sworn enemies for decades, and young love cannot heal the deep wounds between the two iron-mining families. Yet, unable to resist Isabella's pleas, Chantel agrees to help her sister spend time with Orlando......only to have a run-in with Dante, Orlando's brother.

Chantel can't deny the attraction that flares when she is with Dante. But when tragedy occurs at the mine, is there any hope that the hatred that has simmered between the two families might be resolved? Or will Chantel and Isabella's hope for love be buried amidst decades of misunderstanding?

An amazing read! I have always enjoyed books that were about family feuds, I am not sure why, but they have always been interesting to me. But the stories are better when there is a couple that falls in love in the midst of a feud, lots of action, drama, and of course romance. But this story is twice as good because there are twice as many couples!

The Miner's Lady was very fun to read and had lots of events that were predictable and others that were completely shocking. I loved the value of forgiveness that was given all through the book. As well as the value of family always sticking together. Telling the truth even when it could cost your life, was also a value that cannot be overlooked.

I encourage you to read this book, it is definitely worth the time!
