Happy Release Day to The Fire of Your Love!

Happy release day to The Fire of Your Love by Erin Lewis! This is the third book in her Chalice series which follows a young man from criminal to Catholic convert to the priesthood. Book 1 & 2 were amazing and I can't wait to read this one! I highly recommend reading in order.

My first Elizabeth Camden novel and what a heart wrenching, romantic WWI story to begin with! Even though this is third in a series it absolutely can be read standalone. I loved every quickly turning page!
