Review and Givaway of Award-Winning Author, Tammy Barley's Second novel, Hope's Promise


Winning a seven-night stay at a Colorado Dude Ranch from award-winning author Tammy Barley, had nothing to do with my falling in love with her writing (but she did become my new best friend). This week while I am in Colorado enjoying God's creativity and Tammy's generosity, I wanted you to experience a taste of her lovely writing by a chance to win her newest novel!


Tammy's debut novel, Love's Rescue, brimmed with romance, adventure, and a sterling dose of faith. 


It also placed #11, Historical Fiction Best-Seller
at ChristianBook.com and the 2nd Place Winner of the
Golden Rose Contest, Inspirational Category!


So when I heard about the release of her second book, Hope's Promise, I pre-ordered a copy, and was not disappointed. This beautifully-crafed historical set in the West during the Civil War is the perfect sequel to Jake and Jessie Bennett's story of love and honor:

For Better, for Worse
Jake Bennett is finally wed to the love of his life, Jessica Hale—but he isn’t convinced she won’t leave him. Life is a constant struggle for the Bennetts as they battle drought and live in fear of raids on Southerners, and he is not sure that Jess knew what she was getting herself into when she married him.

In Sickness and in Health
Jess, however, despairs for another reason—she is unable to conceive a child.


A Solemn Vow to Stand Together
While trying to prove their unconditional love for each other, the Bennetts must defend against attacks on the Paiutes, the doubts that haunt them both, and an unknown force that threatens to destroy all they hold dear. Together, they must stand in faith through betrayal, barrenness, and a very real threat, trusting that God will reward their hopes for a better future.


For a chance to win Hope's Promise, Tammy's newest page-turner, please leave a comment with your email address at the end of this post. Then return Friday for the book trailer, an announcement about a contest to win a horseback riding adventure for your family, and a second opportunity to win Hope's Promise. I will draw the winner when I return from my trip on Sunday, August 22nd and post Monday, August 23rd.

  5. Happy Wednesday, Kristen, Patti, Susan, and Kathy! Thank you for stopping by to say howdy, and for your kind comments for Jen and myself. Jen asked me to visit her blog this week to remind you all that she's thinking of you. When she returns, let's see if we can get her to post a few photos of Colorado, and maybe we'll get to hug a horse vicariously. =)

    Blessings!

    Tammy
