Book review

Walk Like You Have Somewhere To Go- Lucille O'Neal and Allison Samuels
I felt this book was an easy read. A little too easy, maybe. To be honest, parts of it felt "glossed over". Almost like I was reading the Cliff notes version of her story. Still her personality did shine through, and the book was interesting enough to keep me reading until the end.

An Honest Love- Review

An Honest Love by Kathleen Fuller

A light, enjoyable book set in an Amish community. I think this book is part of a series, because there were many references to previous events, but there is no problem following the story line without reading the previous book. There were quite a few characters to keep track of.  The story mainly focuses on four main characters: Lucas, Anne, Aaron, and Elisabeth. After just completing the book, nothing stands out about Lucas. He is a Amish cliche: hardworking, kind, and faithful. Anne is admirable for her determination to start a new life, and make her store successful. Her stubbornness led to some bad choices, though, and she started to get frustrating.  Aaron is also determined to overcome the past, while Elisabeth is focused on helping Aaron out of his self-imposed solitude. They make a good couple.
The entire conflict in the story is simply lack of communication between the main characters. A Zombie attack in the middle would have livened things up a little bit. Lucas could have showed off his mad pitchfork skills and become a hero in Anne's eyes. Just kidding. If you are looking for a light, easy Amish romance, this is the book for you.

Hand of Fate

My review of the book, Hand of Fate, by Lis Wiehl and April Henry

Overall this book was enjoyable. A good easy mystery for the weekend, and it kept my interest. Apparently it is second in the Triple Threat series. I didn't read the first one, but I did not feel lost. I liked the main characters, but I felt that more details about lives would have made the book more interesting. The ending scenario seemed a little far-fetched, but I will definitely read the next in the series.
