Title: Stealing the Preacher
Description: Joanna has only one birthday wish—a preacher
for the abandoned church in her small Texas town. Her outlaw father has been
reformed, but plans one more train heist, and successfully makes off with
preacher Crockett Archer.

Thing Early Reviewers
Plot: The plot
was very cute, though a little melodramatic especially at the end.
Characters: Crockett
is a pretty cool cowboy/preacher. Joanna was a little sappy. The ranch hands,
Joanna’s father, the little boy who hero worships Joanna, and the various
supporting characters are all nicely drawn.
Writing style: Mostly
entertaining, sometimes funny. I usually avoid this kind of book (western
Christian romance), but really enjoyed this one, in spite of the sometimes
over-the-top Christian message.
Audience: It’s
Christian fiction.
Wrap-up: A lighthearted change of pace. It reminded me
of the Mitford books in that there are some appealing secondary characters and
the perfect Christian world that’s created makes for a nice fantasy. 4/5*
