Customer Reviews

I am purchasing all the Tamera Alexander novels I can find. The most entertaining books I have found. What a gifted writer she is.

A Memorable Story of Redemption and Trust

The Inheritance is a delightful, inspiring historical romance with a great redemptive message. Tamera Alexander paints a beautiful picture of what it looks like to entrust your life to God in difficult circumstances. The theme of trust carries into the relationship between McKenna and Wyatt--both people with a past that could stymie their future happiness, but because of their faith in God, are able to find their way to each other in the midst of serious life challenges. The author's sensitive and insightful writing style has a warmth and vitality that will bring smiles and tears as you are along for the enjoyable journey.

Read with a Message

I thoroughly enjoyed "The Inheritance". There were so many angles to the "inheritance" concept and it was great to read a well-written, well-researched book that encourages the reader (me) to sit back and also take note of the inheritance I have received through my walk of faith in Christ Jesus. Learning brokenness, faith, and rest through troubled times ... an inheritance I can certainly stand to receive! Tamera Alexander's writing style was pleasant reading. I was pleased with the storyline, the relationships drew me in and made putting the book down difficult, and I loved the balance she obtained by McKenna's severe independance yet desperate need for DEPENDANCE. Wyatt is the perfect hero and is a great picture of a Godly leader. If I had to critique anything, I'd say it was too short. And, I don't mean that patronizingly. I would have loved to have the book a little thicker and a little longer so Tamera Alexander could have spread the story even further =0) Totally worth the money to add this to your library!

Another winner!

Tamera Alexander has done it again with The Inheritance. McKenna and Wyatt became as real to me as dear friends. I didn't want their story to end, and was surprised at every turn by the things they said and did. I loved this story and its themes of trust and redemption. I can't wait for the next novel by Tamera Alexander.

Another winner for Tamera Alexander!

I've read all Tamera Alexander's books, so when I saw this one on the shelf, I snatched it up. I do believe it's her best yet. McKenna Ashton and her young brother set off for Copper Creek, Colorado after losing everything because of her brother's gambling debts. She is an expert saddle maker and finds work doing just that but Robert continues to be a problem. She meets US Marshall Wyatt Caradon, who knows from experience that Robert needs tough love. McKenna longs to feel free from all the anxieties she suffers when Robert gets into one scrape after another. Wyatt has already fallen for her, but she is determined not to care for him. I won't spoil the plot for those who haven't read it, but the theme of God's love and His protection are awesome. The prayer Wyatt prays over Robert, "Break him, Lord, until he's wholly Thine" is one all Christians should pray daily. If we can stand it. Don't miss this book for you will be blessed for reading it.
