Rekindled (Fountain Creek Chronicles #1)
I read this several years ago and fell in love with Tamera Alexander's books. I have everyone on my shelf! This is the book that turned me into to an avid reader of Christian Fiction. Ive been a chain reader ever since!
I liked the basic premise... husband disappears for 5 months, a body is found with his stuff so they think it is him--dead. In reality, he was caught in a horrible fire and has been getting nursed back to health so he can return to her. When he returns, she does not recognize him. They fall in love again, at a different time, place, and under different circumstances. UNFORTUNATELY, I found myself skipping large portions of the book--a bit overdone for me in the preachy and scripture quoting
by Andrea Renee CoxFrom the very first chapter, I was disappointed in this book. The amount of sexual tension and sexual innuendo was way too much for me, not even including the prostitution that was touched on in several scenes throughout the novel. I was further disappointed to see that child prostitution was featured without resolution.The themes of forgiveness, love, hope, and perseverance were beautiful. Those were main reasons why I continued to read this book, though they could not in any
Oh wow! I read this book in one night. I cried countless times! What a beautiful book and great reminder of God's love . I'm speechless over it actually. Tamera Alexander is one of my new favorites.
REKINDLED is a wonderful novel filled with emotion and characters you can't help but fall in love with. Kathryn Jennings' life has been difficult, but she soon learns that her most difficult times are yet to come. REVEALED is about second chances, new discoveries, and the importance of looking past a person and into their soul. Kathryn learns that lesson well and soon finds what she was looking for all along. At times, the book moves slower than the reader might like, but never so slow that you
Although I haven't read many of Tamera's books, this has been my favorite. This is the first in a series of three (I believe) books (Fountain Creek Chronicles). I have read all three in the series, but found this to be the best.I do overall like Christian fiction a great deal but I get so frustrated with a few things about Christian fiction:1. Some Christian fiction books seem sort of fluffy and seem to lack a real substantial plot. This isn't really the case with Rekindled as it actually has

A meaningful read, I enjoyed it a lot! This was my first book by Tamera Alexander and I see now why people say such good things. There is a lot of substance to the story and God is very present in it. I love when God is the center of the book, not just put into the story to make it count as Christian, and it definitely shows in this book!Although it had a slow start and quite depressing first half, and it took about 2 hours of listening to the audio book for it to pick up, when it did, it wasI read this several years ago and fell in love with Tamera Alexander's books.
