Author: Penny Zeller

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: March 19, 2024

Can one man’s love win a fragile woman’s heart?
After Amaya Alvarado lost her fiancé to a senseless tragedy, she vows never to love again. Two years later, at her grandmother’s request, she travels to Poplar Springs to assist with the mercantile and help care for her ailing grandfather. During a stagecoach accident and a confrontation with nefarious outlaws, she crosses paths with a man named Silas McFadden who rescues her and the other passengers. A bond between them soon forms.
Silas is not the man he once was. After a stint on the wrong side of the law, he’s now a respectable rancher in Poplar Springs, Wyoming. After becoming a man of faith, he determines to live his life for the One who gave him a second chance. He just never imagined that second chance might include Amaya. Now all he has to do is ensure his past doesn’t return and destroy his and Amaya’s fragile relationship.
Amaya’s and Silas’s friendship soon grows, and she begins to trust him with everything but her heart. Can she push her growing feelings for him aside? After all, isn’t it betraying her fiancé to care for another man the way she has grown to care for Silas?
When the past comes back to haunt him and revenge is sought, can Silas protect the woman he has come to love?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

I was anxious to read Penny Zeller’s new book, Love’s Promise. After reading the others in the series, I had to find out more that was happening in Poplar Springs. It was nice re-connecting with the characters in the other series books as well.

I love historical fiction and this one was fabulous. I love the characters and their development throughout the story. I like how it feels as though I know them personally, which sounds, that’s the way it is sometimes. I found it interesing and sweet that Amaya Alvarado was willing to help with her grandparents and help them with the mercantile. I enjoyed her stay, and especially after she meets Silas. Their relationship was sweet and I loved the was they continued to grow closer together. Penny Zeller does an awesome job writing this historical fiction. She adds just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you reading until the last page. And as always, I really like the way Penny shares her faith through her characters, in a subtle way. I think I’ll stop here in describing the book, you need to read it for yourself.

I’m giving Love’s Promise by Penny Zeller Five Stars! If you enjoy a good clean Christian historical romance, you will love this book, as well as this entire series. Check it out for yourself.

More from Penny

In Love’s Promise, one of the tender memories main male character, Silas McFadden, recalls is, as a young’un, making his Oma carrot cake for her birthday from her favorite recipe.

Big clumsy hands weren’t helpful when it came to cracking the eggs and scooping the batter into the pan. He’d opened the oven door at least twenty times in the course of the cake baking just to be sure he didn’t burn it. For if he did, there were no more ingredients.

The icing was runny, but Oma hadn’t minded. When she finally returned home, Silas had the cake waiting for her. She had cried, told him how much she loved him, and then together, they’d eaten the entire cake that evening.

I’d love to share with you Oma’s recipe, which in actuality, is a family recipe. 😊

Oma’s Carrot Cake

2 c. flour, sifted

2 c. sugar

2 tsp. soda

2 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Sift together the above ingredients and set aside.

3 c. grated carrots

4 eggs

1 ½ c. oil

Mix well 1 c. carrots with 1 egg and ½ c. of oil. Repeat twice and add extra egg with last mixing. Combine with dry ingredients. Mix well.

Pour into greased pan and bake at 350º for one hour. Cool. Frost if desired.
