Stealing the Preacher was a little more Christian then Karen Witemeyer's other books BUT it makes sense because the main character is a preacher! I sometimes like my Christian books lighter on the Christian but I didn't really mind this one! It made religion applicable to the characters lives without being overly preachy. It kind of reminds me of the Hallmark series Love Comes Softly. Karen Witemeyer has a way of slowly building everything to perfection in her books. It kind of reminds me of a lazy summer afternoon while floating on a tube down a river. It's just enjoyable and lovely. So here's what this book was all about-On his way to interview for a position at a church-Crockett Archer is kidnapped off of a train and presented to the kidnappers daughter as the minister she requested for her birthday. Joanna Robbins, the daughter, prayed for a preacher. A man to breathe life back into the abandoned church at the heart of her community. A man to assist her in fulfilling a promise to her dying mother. So when Crockett and Jo meet is seems like fate. Crockett can help Jo with her dreams. And maybe just maybe their dreams are destined to be about each other. ;) I think that this book was just simply sweet. It even had some moments in it that were kind of intense! While the Short Straw Bride is still number one in my heart this book is definitely worth your time!! :)

Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with the town's new dressmaker. He's all too familiar with her kind--shallow women more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothing, this seamstress is not at all what he expected. Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmiling fellow riles her with his arrogant assumptions and gruff manner while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. This book was just a fun cute read! It was like the Pride and Prejudice of the Old West! Imagine a cowboy Mr. Darcy! It was more fluff and froth then anything else! :)
