A World Such as Heaven Intended Book Review

About the Book

Amara is 17 when she is thrust into a world that that she did not want. A world where her very own country was cut in half to fight with each other for duty, honor, and the rights of their states.



In order to feel useful, she volunteers to help out at the hospital that is located in her uncle's home. Although she had been aware of the war around her, she'd never been so up close and personal as she was helping and aiding wounded soldiers. To many of these soldiers, she was an angel, but to one in particular who just happened to be the one who caught her eye and whose opinion meant most to her, she was a joke.

Nathan didn't want to be a part of the war. He wanted to stay on his ranch which was his dream to build. However, when some soldiers showed up on his doorstep and told him to enlist or else, he and his ranching partner had little choice but to join the war that they had been avoiding because their allegiance lay with the north where both were born and raised, but because they started their ranch in Texas, they were forced to sign up for the confederates.

Nathan doesn't want to be on the side that could fight his family in the north so he has to risk fighting his brothers or risk getting caught as a deserter or as a traitor. War is never simple.

My Thoughts on this Book

I absolutely LOVED this book!

My favorite genre of romance is historical fiction and this book certainly fits this category.

Amanda Lauer is an amazing writer and  really knows her history. I've learned more about the Civil War than I did when I was in school and it was interesting reading about it in this story.

From the moment I picked up this book I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. It's a great read and I highly recommend it and there's some great news! It's available on Kindle Unlimited and it also comes as a three book series!
