Loving Bella -Review

Loving Bella - By: Renee Ryan

Loving Bella by Renee Ryan, An Inspirational Historical Romance

Description(from CBD):  She was talented, famous, successful. . . . but when a scandalous offer ruined it all, Isabella O'Toole escaped her life as a celebrated opera singer and sought refuge in Denver, Colorado.  Working as an assistant to Dr. Shane Bartlett is worlds away from her glamorous old life-and she loves it.  Loves the work, loves the chance to reconnect with her family and her faith. . . and slowly begins to love the handsome doctor, as well.  Until her dark secret finds her again, threatening her new life-and her chance for Shane's heart.

My thoughts:  I grieved for Bella, and I loved Bella.  I envied her grace and poise as I don't possess those inate charms of being tall!  But most of all, I really wanted to march up to the fella who made the scandalous offer in the first place and give him what for! Of course, that would have ruined the book!  I enjoyed this book and recommend it!

I was not compensated for this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not given the book in exchange for a review, the review is just my way of being nice and sharing a book I've had the pleasure to read!

    Your starting to get me interested in those type of books. I don't know if I would have the patience to sit and read though. I guess that is why I have always been a poetry type of gal- Short and sweet lol

    Doesn't sound like it has enough adventure for me! I've never gotten into the romantic books,but I love crime fiction books!
