About the Book:

✦ Title: Love Finds a Home

✦ Author: Janette Oke


✦ Genre: Christian Historical Romance


✦ Series: Book #8 of the Love Comes Softly series


✦ Recommend for: ages 14+

My Personal Rating

⭐⭐⭐.5 /⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖 Synopsis

Leaving her little prairie town, Belinda Davis never dreamed that the excitement of living in Boston would leave her restless and empty inside. Wealth, literature, travel, and romance touched her life with choices and decisions that brought dissatisfaction rather than joy. She discovered that only when God had first place in her life was her peace restored. Belinda once again faces decisions about her life that are no less difficult than before. A very unexpected responsibility makes the choice even harder.

💭 My thoughts

This was a sweet ending to the series! As with the previous book, I didn't really care all that much about Boston and Belinda's elderly charge, but there were plenty of other good moments and the ending was nice. Overall, this series was lovely!
