What I liked about this book:
The author was fantastic at describing dresses, scenery, and characters. While the plot sounds cliche', Lynn Morris' writing made the stereotypes seem new and interesting.
The characters had depth and varying personalities that kept the plot moving.
What I didn't like about this book:
There were many references to prostitutes, immoral relationships, and like, but they were shown in a very negative light.
My rating: 3
Haven't read this one. I tried some of (Gilbert) Morris' earlier books and while I liked them well enough, they never became favorites. Thanks for reviewing this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty enjoyable Christian romance.
DeleteIf you do give this a try I would like to her your thoughts on it.
I haven't read any of Gilbert Moriss' books. I don't think they would, personally, be my style.
