review 1: Dnf @ 60%.Al final he tirado la toalla. No es que la historia sea especialmente mala, pero sí la he encontrado especialmente aburrida, especialmente repetitiva y especialmente “plana”. Los personajes son de cartón, han sido incapaces de despertar ningún sentimiento, no ha habido ninguna profundidad en ellos, me han resultado poco creíbles, los buenos muy buenos, los malos son malos y tontos (los pobres) y ya en cuando ha vuelto a aparecer otro personaje del pasado que me había parecido interesante al principio, la autora lo destroza en dos línea y lo vuelve a convertir en otro personaje de cartón piedra incapaz de transmitir nada…La historia está contada en las primeras 20 páginas, todo lo que viene después son situaciones muy tontas y muy superfluas que no... more aportan nada más que longitud a la historia. Y repeticiones, para que el lector “no olvide” lo tontos que son los malos…Una pena, podría haber sido una historia entretenida de tres estrellas pero se estaba convirtiendo en una tarea el terminarla, así que, aquí la dejo.
review 2: I truly enjoy historical romances and this was a good. Loaded with plot twists, Hutton takes us on a wild ride.I did not expect to like Angel when we first met her. Vapid and pampered she came off as someone who would perhaps be a little hard to stomach in a new situation. Hutton shows us her skill when she makes this woman not only likable but believable. Nathan Hale is also one of the better romance male characters I've read. Not overbearing and willing to help his wife adjust (if only, at first, because she has a nice body), he's a genuinely good guy and fun to read. What's more, you know those five kids are going to grow up to be genuine good and kind.Speaking of children, Ms. Hutton writes them well. The four that can speak come off as very real and age appropriate. One of my favorite interactions with the kids comes early on in the novel when Nathan takes the carrots from the baby's plate afraid that she'll choke and one of the little boys says, "I'm choking, steal my carrots too." A very real reaction.As a result of such well formed characters, this novel was a treat to read. Hutton doesn't drag out the parts of the storyline that shouldn't be. She gets to the point and gets there in a way that the reader believes and enjoys.Ms. Hutton creates characters that we'd like to see again and again.This novel, set in the Civil War era, is set realistically far away so that Ms. Hutton touches on the War but it really only touches the character who stayed behind in Virginia.I recommend this book for all romance readers as a fun read. less
