Valiant Hearts

Summary: An excellent, well-written book and a superb conclusion!
Review: I couldn't get over this book. I have read it at least more than a dozen times. I still think it's one of the best books I've ever read. Allison Wescott, a WWI British field nurse, is wondering about what the rumours in Cairo about the man she loves: Colonel Bret Holden. Bret is being accused of smuggling treasures and committing treason. Allison knows that the charges cannot be true. Bret Holden is one of the most valiant, loyal men she has ever met. Why the accusations? But Bret isn't anywhere near to tell her what is going on...and the Egyptian treasure,the golden statue of Nefertari that Allison and Bret had found in a sundial, is missing too. Could the accusations have some truth to them? Where is Bret? Then there is also the trial of Allison's cousin Gilbert Simonds along with a new speculation by Allison's sister Beth that Sarah Blaine's death is not what it had appeared at first. Did Gilbert really kill Sarah? If not then who? Allison must learn to trust in Bret and her Lord as she navigates through the treacherous path of espionage, murder, deceit, suspicion and betrayal. She then finds out that she has become the target of another murderer. The big fish that everyone is looking for. What does the future have in store for Allison and Bret? Will they come through this alive? A thriller story to be sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. What a terrific conclusion to Linda Chaikin's LIONS OF THE DESERT series. I'm looking forward to whatever more is coming our way from her!

Summary: Great Series!
Review: I loved this book! The whole series is fantastic, and this book was a perfect addition to it. The characters of Brent and Allison are very believable and very entertaining. The books also contain a good spiritual aspect and are very funny and touching in parts. I highly recommend them all. Superb read!

Summary: Supper will be late...
Review: I was able to read this book and finish the series by going to the library, as the book is no longer in print. It was as hard to put down as the others, Arabian Winds and Lions of the Desert. I nearly ripped a page in an effort to keep up with the mystery. If your children are patient, the laundry can wait and supper can be ordered out for a couple of days, I highly recommend this book.
