review 1: I love the first book in this series so much and was excited to read the second one. I was pretty disappointed though. There was many things about the continued story that I liked but what really bothered me was there were more sexual innuendos than I feel comfortable with for a book. Especially a book about an LDS couple. It was done pretty tastefully and wasn't offensive but I felt it was very over mentioned and shouldn't have been.Also the fact that Paul called his wife "sport" throughout the whole book got really annoying and almost cheesy.I so wanted to love this book like I loved the first one. If I had it to do over, I would read the first one and not the second one at all.
review 2: I woke up this morning composing this review in my head. Now that I... more am seated in front of the computer, those thoughts have scattered. This book is a continuation of Borrowed Light, a book that I loved. However, as you see from the rating of 3 stars, I did not love this. I think my disenchantment is two-fold, what I might call TMI and PDA: Too Much Information and Public (or Private) Displays of Affection. For the TMI, for example, I did not really want to know all about Rocky Mountain Oysters: I do not want to read how to collect them, cook them or eat them, particularly not in bloody detail. Furthermore, I did not want to read in detail about calving nor childbirth. For the PDA, private or public, there were several things. First, the details in the recounting of the displays of affection were right on the line where, had it crossed even one hair, I would have quit reading, even in light of the fact that the people I was reading about were actually married. Taken in its entirety, given the frequency of the PDA, perhaps it would have been just as well. Second, all the PDA began to feel just "very too much of a good thing." I began to feel like a voyeur, listening in on every intimate conversation and physical exchange. I guess this fell in the category of both PDA and TMI. These were pretty much my troubles with her non-Cedar-Fort-published book Summer Campaign that I read that made me decide that perhaps I would fare batter with the Cedar Fort books but this has show this is not so. I do like the way Carla Kelly can write (her use of the English language, separate from the story). I really think she is a gifted writer in that regard. less
