Wow – This is a quick and powerful read. I’m not going to say anything about the story because I don’t want to give any spoilers.
This story is fantastically told right from the beginning. It hooked me from the first word. I went in blind, so did not know that this was a complete story in 150 pages. There is a depth and weight to this story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. While it is set in a different time frame that now, it could hold true to today.

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.

This is a story about the perils of war and life in general. The sweet heartbreaking reality of war and the sweet heartbreaking reality of life. For the Love of Laura Beth is a story about effects of war on the young men and their families in the 1950’s, which is still pretty relevant to today. It’s also about family. Important then. Important now. This is a heartbreaking story about love and loss; hope and survival. This story is too real.
“You’re not the first and won’t be the last to feel forsaken.”
This story involves a twist that wasn’t expected, turning this story from a general heartbreak to an ugly cry heartbreak. But the power of love is there to pull us through.
“I was so afraid of the pain, but I’ll miss all the joy.”
This story was a slow Sunday afternoon type of read and that’s why the twist hits so hard. Great, simple caring characters.
I recommend a tissue box while reading this great story.

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.

For the Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne is the fourth book in the Chicago Christmas series. This is the story of Laura and Joe. They fell in love as children and had their lives all mapped out until Joe is sent to Korea during the Korean War. When he returns life does not fall back into the norm. Joe is dealing with the aftermath of having been deployed into a war zone and Laura is dealing with her own problems. Will the strength of their love overcome all of their challenges? This is a well-done and sweet story. The characters are well written and the story was interesting. The story was sad but uplifting as well. I liked the realistic, non fairy tale aspects of the story. Life is a struggle and we have to figure out what is important to us. I will be looking for more from this author in the future.

Laura was strong and had some great courage. Joe was great as well, he was very brave and was a great support for Laura. Aubrey Wynne has done a great job with this historical read, she pulls you right in with her writing. A must read for sure.

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.

5 Stars
This is my first read by this author and I am in love..This book touched every emotion and the flow of the words were simply perfection. The only negative I have about this book was that it ended, I could have read this story for so many more pages. So I will absolutely be checking out everything else available. It only took a couple pages for me to fall completely for these characters…My heart broke when he received the letter and can’t imagine how he felt knowing he had to tell his girl, and then I try to imagine how she felt when she found out he was leaving.
I cried more than once while reading this story and just love how this author made me feel like I was living in 1952 and everything just felt so real and I’m sure that this story would hit hard many that lived through and experienced these exact times. I was a complete mess throughout.
I can’t recommend this story enough it’s an awesome story written perfectly!

For the Love of Laura Beth (A Chicago Christmas Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne maybe a quick red but it is a beautiful and compelling story that packs a punch. It is a bit of an emotional tale of two people madly in love but separated by war. But war isn’t the only fight this couple have to deal with. It is a well written and flows nicely and the characters are wonderfully woven in to real life people.
Laura Beth and Joey face many challenges in their journey both together and alone but the biggest one yet may leave them shattered beyond repair.
This is one beautiful and compelling story that should be on your to read list. Oh and don’t forget some tissues.

This was a beautifully written and highly emotional read. The author’s attention to detail during the story was excellent and I really felt like I was right there along with the characters. This is my first read of anything by this author and she has really impressed me with her vivid storytelling. I will absolutely be looking forward to reading more from her in the future. I loved reading about Laura Beth and Joe – I was so wrapped up in their story, the highs and the lows. I think because I was so invested in them I found it really emotional in parts, I was desperate for them to get their happily ever after. I love historical romance stories but I haven’t read one with a war-time setting so it was really interesting to read and I had a hard time putting it down. A moving and emotional read that I highly recommend!

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.

This beautiful tale was so honest and charged with emotion that I felt like I was walking with the characters through the pages. Although short in length, the story is rich in detail and fully developed. The author does a beautiful job with these characters and providing them with depth and realism. I felt this book stood on its own well as I had not read any other book in this series prior to this one. But I will now gladly go back and read the other books in the series. A short and wonderful read!

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.
