The Hidden Heart

Rating:
Summary: not as good as _Fugitive Heart_
Review: I read the two books in two days and enjoyed them both, but _The Hidden Heart_ didn't quite measure up to its predecessor. It was a bit rushed, and it ended abruptly. Yes, Elizabeth endured some horrible situations in her life, but she--like Samantha in _The Hidden Heart_--was sometimes too good to be true.

These flaws aside, I would read a third book, hopefully one about Noah--he's an interesting character so far.

Summary: A captivating story and a joy to read.
Review: Jane Orcutt's gripping romance novel, The Hidden Heart, transports the reader back in time to early Texas, and by page two, that same reader is in the middle of a heart-stopping Indian raid. Not only did this historical romance have an exciting plot and memorable characters, it contains a strong, Christian message. Readers who like Christian romance novels will love The Hidden Heart.

Summary: The Hidden Heart
Review: Mrs. Orcutt, is a really gifted writer. The story line for the Heart Series are a "can't wait to read what happens next". The stories are of true hardships and how individuals deal with different challenges presented to them. Mrs. Orcutt, dare I hope and pray for Elizabeth's brother to be next in this wonderful series.

Review: Once again Jane Orcutt gets into the hearts of her characters and makes them have believable feelings and situations. Tough choices with God sought decisions can teach us today to "hang in there".

Summary: An Enthralling Read!
Review: This is the poignant story of a young woman named Elizabeth who has received only mistreatment at the hands of her Indian captor and her severely self-righteous father. On her way to join an all-female religious sect in the Texas of 1875, she meets a former outlaw named Caleb who will shatter all her assumptions about men. But the shameful secrets they both harbor threaten to destroy their budding relationship, and it will take a blind woman to help Elizabeth find the road to trust, love, and forgiveness. The Hidden Heart is an enthralling book that will touch the deepest fears and insecurities of female readers and reassure them that they too are not alone on their journey. Highly recommended!
