review 1: This is overall a fun and very enjoyable read. Lita is quite pushy in her pursuit of Curtis, which is something you don't see a lot of in Christian fiction, but in this case it makes for a really fun time. Curtis's love for his mother is amazing; he is unbelievably patient with her and is very self-sacrificing in his own desires, to the point that you might think "is this guy for real?", but somehow it completely works and doesn't seem forced at all.Towards the end I lost a little enthusiasm when an issue from Lita's past suddenly pops up and starts to cause trouble in her relationship with Curtis. I wasn't thrilled how she had so doggedly pursued Curtis when she must've known this particular issue would eventually cause problems. It's just a minor annoyance, it certainly ... moredidn't stop me from reading, but in my mind it just didn't quite fit with the rest of the story.Chautona Havig is a very unique voice in the Christian fiction market; I'm so glad to have discovered her books. Her stories and characters are fresh and original; definitely not cookie-cutter copies of everything else out there! As for this book, Advent, I do recommend it if you're looking for a nice Christmas-time story. It's unique and enjoyable, and I'm glad to have read it. My Rating: 4.5 stars
review 2: I wanted to like this book, more than I actually did. I have read another book by this author, the first in the Aggie's series, and really enjoyed it, so I had high hopes for this one. I just couldn't ever come to really care about the characters. Some of the plot and dialogue were just implausible and far-fetched, even for me. It was ok, but nothing great. I'm hoping my next Christmas themed choice puts me more in the holiday spirit :) less
