My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For the Love of Laura Beth is the fourth book in Aubrey Wynne’s Chicago Christmas series. It is a great story that takes place in the shadows of Korean war. The writer has taken this era and meticulously brought into life – I can close my eyes and picture the people and places she is describing. You don’t have to read the other stories in the series as this is a standalone story taking place in Midwest (like the other Chicago Christmas stories).
For the Love of Laura Beth is the story of Laura Beth Walters and Joe McCall – they grew up together and Laura Beth fell in love with Joe when she was just 6 years old. It takes a while but Joe notices her and it seems as if they would get their happy future but … first Joe’s mother dies of cancer and then … Korean war comes calling and Laura Beth decides to go against her father’s wishes and marries Joes before he leaves for the war.
The writer gives us such a clear picture of what women’s place was in the 1950ies, what was expected of them and what the consequences might be if they chose different … it also gives us a deeply touching story of a love between a woman and a man and what it takes to overcome family tragedies …
If you yearn for an emotional read about love that can endure anything, then pick up For the Love of Laura Beth!

Four Stars

What a high emotional impact this story had on me. I couldn’t help but cry. The author really knew how to make you feel the words on every page. Laura Beth is a very strong character and I felt like I was walking in her shoes. The amount of faith she had was amazing. She held onto her beliefs and didn’t let fear stop her. Joe was amazing as well. He stood by Laura Beth even when he was exhausted and doing all the work. The amount of love they had for each other was something we all hope for. This story will have you kissing your kids and thanking the Lord for everyday.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

For the Love of Laura Beth (A Chicago Christmas Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne was a sweet quick read, about the growing pains of marriage and learning how to dig down deep, to find that strength needed, to overcome every hardship that was tossed their way.

Not my first read by this author so I knew going in, that I was in for a well crafted read. I was not disappointed. A fast pace tale of love, hardship and family, I was taken on a sweet journey that not only pulled at those dreaded heartstrings, it ignited feelings of hope and faith.

I liked the way this story was structured, like I was reading a combined journal from both Joey and Laura Beth. It reads chronologically, telling us their beginning, their ups, downs, their loses and how they, as a couple, overcame both their demons. As this story moves fast, I don’t want to give anything away. But I will tell you that, time and care went into this read, especially for the era it was set in.

Overall this book is worth your time and energy, it will take you back in time, back when things appeared simple, but as we all know, things are never what they seemed. Life always has other plans. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will fall for Laura and Joey.

Happy Reading

For the love of Laura Beth is an emotional read. It takes place in the past, during war, and these two go through a lot during the book, not just the struggles of war. Through it all, their love for one another is strong and sturdy. It was beautiful and sometimes sad. I cried and my heart broke for them. It ends with a well earned happy ever after.

For the Love of Laura Beth is book four in the Chicago Christmas series by Aubrey Wynne. What an emotionally charged story. Laura Beth and Joe face so many obstacles that threaten  stand in their way of happiness, but they do not let this deter them. Their soul deep love, courage, determination and endurance is commendable and so sweet to read about. This story was also a heartbreaking, and had me sobbing my eyes out. It touched me in a deeply memorable way. I felt like I was experiencing their lives with them, as I was so emotionally invested on their happiness.

The struggles were relentless and debilitating, but never once did they give up. Never once did they throw in the towel. Never once did they leave each others side. A true love story. One of the very finest I have read and one that left me breathless. 5 stars.

For The Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne is the fourth book in the A Chicago Christmas series. This book is highly emotional and do everything it can to tug at your heat strings.
Marriage is hard enough for anyone to navigate. But for Laura Beth and her husband Joe they have to overcome so much that at times it seems utterly impossible. But they haven’t given up fighting yet for the love that once seemed so strong. Will they be able to come out the other side of it?
You cannot help but root for these two. They seem to have gone through so much that you want good things to happen for them. The journey they go on throughout this book is heart breaking but also heartwarming. You can see how much they love each other and you can see how hard they work to make things right.
I always enjoy this authors writing style but this book definitely caught my attention more than any previous. This is a book well worth reading.

For the Love of Laura Beth is the fourth book in A Chicago Christmas Series by Aubrey Wynne. This is a wonderful, moving historical romance, set in and around the Korean War. This “Christmas story’ is woven around friendship, family bonds, sacrifice, resilience, strength, determination, overcoming obstacles, love, and drama.
I loved the way each chapter starts with an inspirational quote, as this added to the whole ‘feel’ of the story.
A very emotional, well written and thought-provoking read. The characters really made the story for me. It was entirely realistic, relatable, and believable- because Ms. Wynne has a talent for weaving (real) historical elements into her stories and bringing everything ‘to life’!
Looking forward to reading more of Ms. Wynne’s work.

Thank you, Ms. Wynne.
