Review of Bamboo and Lace

I love Hawaii. I've been to Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. So, I am interested in books have the setting in Hawaii. When I read the description of Bamboo and Lace by Lori Wick I immediately bought it and couldn't wait to read it. I have read Lori Wick's "Californian series" and loved it. This book was very dull and boring. The characters were very unrealistic and the country that Lilly is from is also made up. I did not like how the characters felt that they had to apologize constantly for everything and anything. No one is that perfect! Also, Lilly is described very childlike and the other adults sometimes talk to her as if she were a child. So, when she and Gabe became involved it was weird to me. I felt like she was some little girl with an older man. It did not work. The end of the book did get a little better, but do you really want to read 200 dull pages for 20 mediocre ones? The book was also way too preachy and goody-two shoes for me. I'm a Christian and most of the books I read or Christian fiction, but this was just too much. After reading this book I have stopped reading books by Lori Wick.

Review of Courting Morrow Little

So, I just finished reading this book yesterday, at 4am! It was one of those books that I just simply could not put down. What really drew my attention to the story was the love between Morrow and Red Shirt. Because he was Native American the love was forbidden at that time. It was also very unexpected. It was different than most books I read. I loved how Red Shirt was so connected with the earth and nature. It was a refreshing change in pace from the average romance novel. I also love how Morrow and Red Shirt married in the middle of the book and we were able to see some of their journey in life together. The book didn't just end at the proposal, like most do. I was truly sad when I finished reading. This is one of those books that I would have loved to have been in a series. I can't wait to read more books by Laura Frantz!

Why start blogging

Why start blogging? My answer: Why not! I don't know if many people will read this, but I thought it would be fun and an interesting experience to share my thoughts on life and reviews of products. So, time to experiment a little and see where this thing goes.
