 A Home for Her Heart After being jilted at the altar, Southern belle Savannah Cox seeks a fresh start out West and accepts a teaching position in Minnesota.

However, she's determined to prove she can handle anything her new town throws her way. Elias gives it a week—or less—before the pretty schoolteacher packs her dainty dresses and hightails it back home. But no matter how many mishaps he has to rescue her from, Savannah doesn't give up.

And the only person he can think of to ask for help is Esther Jensen, the woman whose heart he broke when he left town. But can he convince her to put aside the past until he tracks down the baby's outlaw father? Esther is ready to run Thomas off her Texas ranch—until she spies the abandoned newborn in his arms. Soon, working together to care for the precious babe stirs old hopes of a family. With trouble heading to their door, they could overcome it together—if she'll entrust her wary heart to this sweet, second-chance family… ISBN-13: 9780373425129 |  A Baby for Christmas The only Christmas gift Oscar Rabb's four-year-old daughter prays for is one the widower can't provide: a baby sibling. And when his neighbor's house burns down, he's willing to open his home to pregnant and widowed Kate Amaker and her in-laws—but not his heart. Even if his little girl's convinced Kate's unborn child is the answer to her wish. Kate quickly sees the generous but aloof Oscar has little interest in growing closer to his houseguests. Still, she intends to make the coming Christmas a season to remember for his daughter. And as Oscar starts to open up to her, Kate can't help picturing just how wonderful the holidays—and a future together—might be. ISBN-13: 9780373425495 |
| Very rarely, more like almost never, do I ever read several books by the same author in a row. But, for some reason unknown to even myself, I did read these three Love Inspired Historicals from Erica Vetsch back to back. As soon as I finished one I just went ahead and started the next. His Prairie Sweetheart was the first one that I read and I liked it. Sometimes Elias's stubborn belief in the worst drove me crazy but coming from a cold northern state myself and having visited the south I can see why Savannah had a bit of a culture shock. The book was a fun prairie romance with a strong faith thread and a real belief in the value of family. Oh, and I just fell in love with Cap the dog! The Bounty Hunter's Baby was the second book that I read and I think it might have been my favorite. Two of the main reasons I enjoyed it were the fact that the hero is a bounty hunter which is pretty rare in Christian fiction, and absolutely adored Rip who happens to be a dog who can go from catching the bad guys to guarding a newborn baby in a twinkling. I also really wanted to see things work out for Thomas and Esther, two really hurting people who need a little faith and a little love. | These Books received a 4 Bark rating.

A Child's Christmas Wish was the third title that I read. Not only did this one have a wonderful Christmas setting, which I was reading in August, by the way, but this one also had the strongest message of the need for faith and hope in hard times and the incalculable importance of family. I genuinely liked the Bernese Mountain Dog in this one but it was little Miss Leisl who won my heart.
I've not read very many books from the Love Inspired Historical line but I did enjoy these three, of course, it didn't hurt that I've always liked every Erica Vetsch book that I've read. I absolutely loved that she included a dog in each book and that the dogs all had important roles in the story. If you enjoy Christian historical romances, two of which have interesting cultural notes, you should check out His Prairie Sweetheart, The Bounty Hunter's Baby, and A Child's Christmas Wish from Erica Vetsch.
