Blessed Morning Gems!!!
Today I received an exciting email from one of my favorite biblical fiction authors and inside the email was the cover for her upcoming 2020 release and boy was I excited. A few weeks ago, she shared her title reveal for her first Bible study which was awesome (more info to come on this).
I own all seven of her currently published books and have read six of them so far. I've given five of them a 5 star rating and one a 4 star rating. I'm holding off on the last book because I don't want to finish her books and then have to wait patiently for the release of this book.
Check out my reviews of her other books:
I am loving the softness of this cover! You'll get a better view below, but this cover has a much more simplistic approach to it than her other covers. I'm loving the pose from the model with her outfit and hair color. The floral in the background with the water and sky-view just screams beauty. This is the perfect cover for this story. I cannot wait to get into this book when it releases!!
Here is some info all about the book and it's release date! Don't forget to head over to Goodreads and add it to your TBR shelf!

Title: Daughter of RomeAuthor: Tessa Afshar
Age: Adult
Genres: Biblical Fiction, Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction
Expected Publication Date: February 4, 2020
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishing
Pre-Order: Paperback | Hardcover | Kindle
Synopsis:
A woman with a devastating secret. A man bent on proving his worth. A chance encounter that catapults them into the heart of history.
When the daughter of a prominent Roman general meets a disinherited Jewish immigrant, neither one can dream of God's plan to transform them into the most influential couple of the early church. Nor can they anticipate the mountains that will threaten to bury them. Their courtship unwittingly shadowed by murder and betrayal, Priscilla and Aquila slowly work to build a community of believers, while their lives grow increasingly complicated thanks to a shaggy dog, a mysterious runaway, and a ruthless foe desperate for love. But when they're banished from their home by a capricious emperor, they must join forces with an unusual rabbi named Paul and fight to turn treachery into redemption.
With impeccable research and vivid detail, Daughter of Rome is both an emotive love story and an immersive journey through first-century Rome and Corinth, reminding readers once again why Debbie Macomber has said that "no one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."
