Review:

"Stealing the Preacher" by Karen Witemeyer was one beautifully written inspiritual story that only this author can give its readers.  This author really worked her magic with giving the reader such a story that was not only interesting but intriguing, funny and oh so enjoyable.   Who knew that Joanna's outlaw father would be will to hold up a train and 'steal'  a preacher for his daughters' twenty first birthday! Why did his daughter want a preacher?  What did his daughter really want from her dad?  This is where Will Crockett come into play and wow do we receive a good read from this author. There will be a awesome group of characters from this read.  Many come from the first series 'Short Straw Bride" from this author.   I would recommend the reading of this first series to truly understand some of the characters that enter into this story.  "Stealing the Preacher" will give you some wonderful people  and some not so good but in the end a awesome good read.  Will Crockett had come to the area to open up a Parish but will he be able to in the area he had planned on getting or will there be a change to the area at Piney Woods?  Be ready for plenty of twist and turns because the storyline moves very fast paced.  In the end will Joanna find the answer to her prayers?  Well, to find out the answers to all of these question plus so much more you must  pick up this read to see how this author is able to bring it all out to the readers.  Be ready for some romance along with some real 'scary moments.'  Would I recommend?  YES, YES,YES!
