One Plus One Equals Trouble Book #1 in Love That Counts Series by Sondra
Kraak
GREAT NEW TO ME AUTHOR!
I purchased this eBook back in 2017 and apparently it got lost in my Kindle
as I acquired new books. I had some
extra time to read on my vacation and fell in love with this story and the
writing style. It's sweet, faith-filled
and makes me want to read the FIVE BOOK series!
Seeing Barrett (Bear) and Claire work together as teachers of 34 students in
the one-room mountain schoolhouse of 1891
Pine Creek, Washington was a sweet adventure as they both competed to
win the teaching position. Bear
particularly had a gentle way about him that drew me in. Their banter was a winner for me as was their
natural progression toward each other.
The story referenced a Baily,
Banks, & Biddle coin silver teapot which I had never heard of. A quick internet search revealed they are
QUITE valuable. Always fun to learn
something new like that.

FAITH QUOTES:
*"She hadn’t sung of God’s goodness and power, prayed for his grace
and protection, and listened to the preaching of his Word to turn her back on
him and entrust herself to belief in luck. Luck didn’t send her one thousand
miles north. Luck didn’t bring a man like Barrett into her life to . . . what
was he doing in her life? . . . to threaten her sanity and rob her of a chance
to start fresh. That was God and his sovereignty. A mysterious
providence."
*“Answering the call of God is not something we do after the details have
been laid out. Nor is it something we do because others want us to do it. It’s
something we do because we know it’s right. Because we love him.”
SWEET, TEA QUOTE: "he wanted to kiss
grace into her. She smelled like the honey in her tea, and it drew him. Bears
liked honey."
GoodReads Star Rating = 4 (really liked it). I recommend this clean, historical read. I
purchased an ebook from Amazon. All opinions are mine alone.
