review 1: I haven't read any Christian romance novels since Janette Oake's LOVE COMES SOFTLY, so I didn't know what to expect. This was a very quick read. It took an hour. It was cute, fluffy--great beach reading. The one thing I didn't like is that (spoiler warning) the author used the same phrase leading up to both kisses in the book. Why do so many romance novels do that? I would not be afraid to let my 16-year-old niece read this book, which is a plus.
review 2: "Smitten" was a book chosen for an online book club discussion. I loved the book and am looking forward to reading the others in the series. Colleen Coble has been one of my favorite authors for awhile but the other authors were all new to me. I was kinda of surprised that the story written by Colleen Coble
... morein this story wasn't a mystery like the other books of her's that I have read!"Smitten" is about four friends who comes up with a plan to save the town of Smitten after the mill closes and while trying to save the town they all fall in love themselves.The plan is to make Smitten a honeymoon tourist town! How can they fail with the town's name being Smitten? There is already one big problem, the men of Smitten hate the plans.This book is a fun read, it is a Christian romance but it is not preachy, I only added this in the review because even nonreaders of Christian fiction I believe would enjoy this book. It was quite a joy to watch how these four couples went from being friends and enemies to a couple.The problems they overcame to find love is some that "real people" had to overcome. I felt like these friends could be neighbors to me. I wanted to shout at the characters and say "get a clue, he or she feels the same way about you" less

Gratuitous religion. Didn't realize and that's not my thing. Cute, predictable romance.

Predictable chick lit. Still somewhat enjoyable, but meh.
