Congratulations on Love’s Awakening! I am fortunate to have happened on your blog while a giveaway is going on, & have been blessed by your words on your blog, & also on Casey’s.
I am a Louisville, Kentucky area native & resident, & looking forward to becoming more acquainted with you & your books.
Thank you, Laura
Thrilled to learn you’re from Louisville, Bonnie! My novel, THE COLONEL’S LADY, required research at your beautiful Locust Grove. I’m a Lexingtonian myself :). Bless you for your willingness to try a new author like myself!
Would love this book. What an interesting cover….sigh…
I am eager for the pre-ordered book to arrive. As I finish a book – I have 3 others waiting to read them.
The bookmark is beautiful! I have never heard of them before. I would enjoy owning one and surely would not pass up a signed copy of the book.

Enjoy your celebration.

Hey Laura!
Thanks for the giveaway! The bookmark is so pretty 🙂
And to be honest, I can’t wait to read Love’s Awakening!! 😀
Both are absolutely gorgeous. I know they say never judge a book by it’s cover, but if this novel is half a wonderful, well then I think we’re in for a treat. And but of course one can’t read the book without the fabulous coordinating bookmark. Lovely! 🙂
Christy makes some beautiful stuff, I actually ordered my Mom a Mother’s Day gift from her! But I would love to win a copy of your new book…
Yes, please! I’ve got my sight on reading another Laura Frantz book VERY soon and I’ve heard so much about Love’s Awakening. CONGRATS on your book release, Laura! Thank you for this.
I can’t wait to read this book and the bookmark is beautiful! Thank you for the chance to win and happy release day! 🙂 Now I am off to look at the rest of her jewellery and bookmarks! 🙂
I already have a copy of the book, so I would have to go with the bookmark!!
Happy Release Day, Dear Laura!!! 🙂
How exciting!! Still haven’t gotten to my copy yet but am so looking forward to it!!! Actually, I feel Ellie and Jack calling my name all day today, then I come here and find it is the official release day, lol! Must be a sign to get areadin’ 😉 Since I already have a copy of your beautiful book 🙂 I’d love a chance at the bookmark! It’s your special day and you’re always looking for ways to bless your readers. You are a GEM, sweet friend!! Thank you 🙂
It’s been a while since we last spoke and I pray all is well with you and yours! Hope your enjoying your last moments of summer!
Blessings,
Amanda
So excited to celebrate a new book releasing with you! Blessings, Carrie

Yes, please! I’ve got my sight on reading another Laura Frantz novel very soon. I’ve heard such good things for Love’s Awakening. Would be thrilled to win. Congrats on another book release, Laura! Thank you for this.
Although I love the bookmark I really want to read the book. I read the one right before this one and loved it.
What a beautiful bookmark!! I don’t know
Which interests me more, that or the book!
Happy release day!
Both are gorgeous!!! Excited about both! 🙂
I love the cover and the bookmark! Both are so beautiful!
Rejoicing with you, Laura!!! How amazing it must feel to have your 5th novel published!!! God is Good!!!!!!!!
Today I started “Love’s Awakening”! I must have been the first reader to place a hold on it at the library! I absolutely love how you write with pleasant surprises- whether historical details, character connections, or occurring events.
So far my favorite part (no spoilers here) is discovering the children’s personalities and what they know about the past.
I love all your novels – each one is a special friend, but now that you are writing a series – the Ballantynes are family.
Thanks,
Jennie
Oh, so thrilled you’re reading, Jennie! Love how you say that about suprises :). There are some in there, yes! More happy ones than unhappy, I promise! When you say the Ballantynes are like family that’s just how I felt then I said goodbye to them with this last book I turned in to release next summer. Sigh. But you make all those adieus better!
Bless you for being here!
I would love to win both of these great gifts. I have been wanting to read one of your books and I would love to start with this one. Thank you so much for this giveaway. You’re a gem!

Thanks so much to everyone for their gracious comments! I’m on several blogs/sites today and haven’t been able to keep up with comments but really appreciate everyone here! So wish I could send a book to you all!
Hope release day goes very well for you. Love’s Awakening looks so good. sharon, CA
I just love your books & it would be so fun to win either gift. Just downloaded Love’s Awakening & can’t wait to start!
God Bless you! & thank you for your books!
Thanks so much, dear Kathy, for that download! Thanks to you and others, I can keep writing! You’re a gem!
Laura I sure would love to win your book. I love the beautiful covers you have. Please put my name in the contest. I’m sure the bookmark is very pretty but prefer the book. Thanks. MAXIE mac262(at)me(dot)com
Happy Release Day!!
I look forward to a wonderful read.
marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Ah… another chance to win Love’s Awakening! 🙂 I’m really, really excited to read this book!! Laura, your books captivate me, I have two on my shelf (Courting Morrow Little and The Colonel’s Lady), and I hope to collect the Ballantyne Legacy too! 🙂
The bookmark would also be fun to win… very pretty. I’m curious how it works.
Anyway, thanks for the giveaway! And keep writing… 🙂
Shantelle, So glad Morrow and Roxie are on your shelf. Bless you for that! Ellie would love to join them :)!
Happy Release Day, Laura! I was on the road yesterday, returning from ACFW, and saw this beautiful blog post. Melissa Tagg told me she read Love’s Awakening in one day! I can’t wait to sink into your newest novel…very soon…
I’m so happy you’ve been able to use my picture of Love’s Awakening. Please don’t enter me into the drawing for the book…however, I’d love to be in the drawing for the bookmark.
Many happy blessings to you and your lovely story.
Gabrielle, Welcome back! You were just glowing in all the conference pics I saw! I almost felt I was near enough to hug you :). Thrilled to hear Melissa read LA in a day! I think you really experience the whole book in a richer way when swallowed in one gulp! Though I am always torn between that and slowing down and savoring a book…
Thrilled you’re here and would like a bookmark. My pleasure!
I am so looking forward to reading Love’s Awakening. I love the characters in your books! I would enjoy winning the bookmark or your novel, either one would be a pleasant surprise.
The book looks like a really good read and the bookmark is beautiful!
Yay, Love’s Awakening is here at last! I cannot wait to read it, and would love to win a copy. Love’s Reckoning was absolutely fabulous. You rock the writing world, Laura! 🙂
Zoe, Oh, love your enthusiasm! I hope you enjoy Jack and Ellie’s world as much as Eden and Silas’s :). You rock, IMHO! Thank you.
I’ve enjoyed all of Laura Frantz novels and I could hardly wait for Love’s Awakening. I’m am halfway through and it’s wonderful! I would be delighted with a signed copy and the lovely bookmark.
Thank you Laura for sharing your heart with your readers.
Marta, Just got in and found this and your lovely email! You’ve made my day! Writing novels is such a treat when I am gifted with readers like you. Talk about heart! Thanks for being YOU.
I have anticipated the release of “Love’s Awakening” for months. Oh, who am I kidding, I have anticipated the release for a full year! I like to buy my absolute favorite books at Family Christian Stores. Sadly, we live three hours away from the only one in Idaho, so I don’t have my copy of “Love’s Awakening” yet. It would be exciting to win a signed copy. Thanks, Laura, for this opportunity and for the research, prayer, time, labor, etc., you put in to a wonderful reading experience for lovers of historical fiction. I’m planning to read this book slower than the last ones. I want to make it last longer. Not every one will understand what I mean, but I’m hoping you will. 🙂 ~~~ Blessings on your day.
Mary, So good to see you! I was thinking about you the other day as summer ends. I understand completely about the drive to a bookstore. Our nearest Barnes&Noble is 2 hours away though we do have a wonderful Christian bookstore an hour from here. Thanks so much for being in the drawing! I hope you enjoy Jack and Ellie’s story very much :). Wonderful to touch base with you again!
Congratulations! I’m excited to read your new book! I’d love to win either. Thanks for a nice giveaway!
I have tremendously enjoyed all of your books and would love to win the new release! I love the escape I find in them and the reminder of God’s word!
Well said, Laura! Thanks so much for being here!
Would like to win book. The bookmark is beautiful.
At long last! I’ve been waiting for this novel since finishing Love’s Reckoning a year ago! I think the only thing your books are missing is a soundtrack of epic theme music . . .
HI Rachael, So happy you’ve been waiting for LA! Thrilled by that :). I hope you fall into Ellie and Jack in those pages and don’t want to come out! The epic theme music sounds like a good idea to me, too! Thanks for stopping and entering the drawing!
Dear Laura,
I would love to win your new book! I just bought Love’s Reckoning, and having book #2 available would be just delightful! Thank you!!
Ashley R.
Ashley, HUGE thanks for starting with Silas and Eden! That way you’ll be all ready for Ellie and Jack :). Thrilled you’re in the hat. I’d love to send a book your way! Thank you!!
Laura, I absolutely loved Love’s Awakening and would be thrilled to have an autographed copy. I have read all your books and can’t wait for more to come. Thank you for using your talents in a way that is glorifying and pleasing to the Lord.
Many blessings!
Oh Cara, I’m so honored! Thrilled you enjoyed Ellie and Jack’s story so much and have read all my books! That means more to me than I can convey. :). I’d love to put you in the hat for the drawing! Your last words touch me especially – I pray that I can keep writing to glorify and please Him. Beautifully said, thank you! Bless you for being here and being so gracious!
Am looking forward to your next book – am ready to “escape” to Pennsylvania 🙂
