While Love Stirs by Lorna Seilstad Review

While Love Stirs Take one lovely young woman. Add two ambitious young men. Stir . . . and stand back. As a graduate of Fannie Farmer's School of Cookery, Charlotte Gregory is thrilled to have the opportunity to travel, lecture, and give cooking demonstrations on the very latest kitchen revolution--the gas stove. And she certainly doesn't mind that the gas company has hired the kindhearted Lewis Mathis to entertain at her lectures. Lewis encourages Charlotte's work, especially her crusade to introduce fresh, appetizing, nutritious food to those convalescing in hospitals. But young hospital superintendent Dr. Joel Brooks is not convinced any changes should be made--especially by this outspoken young woman. When Charlotte and Joel are coerced into planning a fund-raising gala for the hospital, will this combustible pair explode? Follow the second Gregory sister as she looks for true love and makes her way in a rapidly changing world in this breezy, lighthearted love triangle that will keep you guessing. Lorna Seilstad is the author of When Love Calls and the Lake Manawa Summers series. A former high school English and journalism teacher, she has won several online writing contests and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers. Lorna lives in Iowa with her husband.

My Review:I read this book fast because I could not wait to see what happened to Charlotte. The era that the book was set in intrigued me, as did the invention of the gas stove. It was also interesting to think about how cooking was so different back then. Now we have a gadget for everything, ans back then they did not. They were just starting to use measurements that you could actually measure (rather then a pinch, etc.). It was very interesting to read about old cars as well, especially the Model T. There was so much more to this book. There was a love triangle (I liked Joel the best), a tornado, and telegrams. This is a great peek into the past. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Revell, however all opinions are my own.
