About the Book With You Here:

Holy Roman Empire, 1527

In the wake of Martin Luther’s religious reforms, Princess Christyne von Heidelbraum is compelled by her sense of duty to help ease the burden of her people. When she stumbles upon a dying man in the woods, she vows to aid him—even when she discovers the arrow shot in his leg was put there by a heretic hunter. With both her physical and spiritual well-being in danger, she must choose between conscience or adhering to the laws of the Empire.

Present Day

Doubting her calling to become a hospital chaplain, Amber Carrington takes time off from her theology studies to volunteer with refugees in Germany. Working with children, making a difference, reconnecting with the conviction that once drove her—these were her expectations. An instant attraction to a professional soccer player wasn’t a part of the plan…and she can’t let him distract her from her purpose.

As a new Christian, Seth Marshall is determined to put his popularity as a world-renowned footballer to good use. Unfortunately, old habits and public opinions are hard to overcome. When he falls hard and fast for Amber Carrington, his former life—and her no-dating policy—may block his perfect shot for the woman he loves.

My Thoughts on With You Here:

What a good book!  Sometimes books that flip from present-day to past and back can get confusing and you’re not sure which character is where or what they’re doing.  This isn’t one of those.  This book is a great quick read that is going to keep you reading and wanting more!

I love children(probably why I have eleven of them) and loved that she goes to Germany to work with children.  I’d love to do that!  So it was fun reading about what she was doing and what it’s like over there.  Also, I really enjoyed how while the book is a Christian fiction it’s not just a lot of verses but rather how their life reflects the work and word of God. 

Going into this book I didn’t realize it was a series so now I can’t wait to find the books for all the boys and read up.  I enjoyed getting to know the Carrington family through Amber and can’t wait to read more about their stories. 

Another thing I loved was the history of the Protestant Reformation era and would love a few books just set in that time period!
