Wow!Minguel, Beth's son?; Does it mean she already had a son before she planned to be a Nun or she had the child with the father? Interesting. I really love the plots in this book, I will give a try. Thanks for your review.

This is definitely an interesting read. I have come across true stories of nuns and priest breaking vows and this story will provide an snapshot of what are likely to be issues which lead to that. Thanks for the review.

Deceitful Survival starts with a sombre mood, with the Killing of Elizabeth's mother and dead of Her Father. This mood soon changes as Elizabeth becomes a Nun and work in a Nativity church. It is Interesting when She mentioned that She renounced all Her wordly goods and any inheritance She received, of course, it wasn't that She had anything to give. Will She Truly lead a life of a devoted nun?

This book sounds very interesting. The bow of celibacy is always under treat and real discipline is needed to be faithful. Sometimes however, Celibacy may not be the option as in Beth's case. Thanks for the review.

It's widely known that the forbidden fruit is the sweetest. Beth's encounter with Rene sounds captivating, and it is one that I'm looking forward to reading. Thanks for the detailed review.

Romance is not a theme that I am very much fond of. So I will pass on this one. Congratulations on being BOTD

A thought-provoking and an entertaining storyline based loosely on historical events and real places. The seems to be an entertaining read, although there is not much action and suspense involved. Appreciate the insightful review! :tiphat:

Wow intriguing. I'm curious what happened in the end. Like did they end up together? Did they really love each other or it's just a temptation.
