Who hasn't finished a series and wished it lasted a little longer? I'd say it's a sign of a good writer if they've crafted characters and a story world you don't want to leave. Here are five series I personally wish had kept on going.

The Patchwork Family series by Karen Witemeyer
Sometimes you're born into a family, sometimes you get to choose them. I really loved the Hamilton siblings and the stories surrounding them and their loved ones.

The Shadows Over England series by Roseanna M. White
This is another series about orphans who became a family. While these books do continue with the Codebreakers series, I wish there had been more about the family of London street urchins who helped sustain each other.

The Ravenwood Saga by Morgan L. Busse
I really like a good speculative every now and then, and the world Morgan L. Busse created was intriguing and captivating. I would have liked to see what happened beyond the pages of the trilogy.

The Ozark Mountain Romance series by Regina Jennings
I love books that make me laugh, and I love books set near where I live. This fits both descriptions! These characters and the situations they found themselves in kept me in stitches the whole way through.

The Banister Falls series by Kathryn Springer
This lovely duology focused on real people with real problems who inspired each other to grow in faith and community. I would have gladly read more!

"Written on the Wind" by Elizabeth Camden

On the vast sweep of the Siberian taiga, Count Dimitri Sokolov witnesses atrocities he will never forget. Exiled for trying to speak the truth and bring things to light, Dimitri vows that the world will know no matter how much the country of Russia comes against him.

Natalia Blackstone has worked at her father's bank for years, even though it's not seen as seemly for a woman at the turn of the century. With her head for business, she's overseen many projects, including one that fostered a long-distance friendship with Count Sokolov. Now that Dimitri is in desperate need of help, the two friends will finally meet face to face.

I normally love Elizabeth Camden's books, but this one was hard for me to really sink into. I couldn't reconcile the Dimitri we got to know at the beginning of the novel, surviving desperate hardship and deprivation, with the flirty, pampered man he transformed into. Is he some wilderness survivalist, or is he an aristocrat who likes manicures? I could also never get a read on businesswoman Natalia and her anachronistic desire to prove herself with her own home. Also it seemed like there were simply too many historical storylines going on. Usually that's what I love best about Elizabeth Camden's novels, so I found that particularly disappointing.

However, none of this will detract me from checking out her books in the future, or rereading some of my favorites when the mood strikes. She's an excellent author and I have a whole list of novels to recommend if you're interested.

I received my copy of the book from the publisher. All thoughts in this review are my own.
