review 1: *I recieved this book from Tellharlequin.Overall Impression: This was a pretty good read. I found myself cheering for the two main characters throughout the book hoping that they would be able to figure everything out. Cover: I loved this cover compared to most other romance novel covers. The cover was very sweet and made me feel warm and cozy.Characters: I really like the character of Billy. I love his protectiveness of his mother and how he was determined to be nice to everyone and always do the right thing. I was also very intrigued by the character of Billy's mom. Her story really interested me and if I could have it my way another book would be written about what happened to her when she was captured and how she handled living through everything.
review 2:... more This was my first read in the Love Inspired Historical line by Harlequin. While the book featured great writing skills by the author, Linda Ford, I will say that I don't think I will be reading anymore from this line.The author has a wonderful gift for writing. The book flowed great and the story was heartfelt. I really loved the character of Billy Black. He was so sweet and patient with the baby that it melted my heart! Here was this large man with a heart of gold, sitting in a rocker and humming the baby to sleep. Vivian was an okay character for me. She just wasn't outstanding in my mind. She was ordinary and the same type of character found in most books. While I enjoyed her being paired with Billy Black, she just didn't have the wow factor that I like. The one thing that I did not enjoy about this book was the constant reference to religion. While I understand that this book is in the Christian Romance line, I have read other Christian Romance books that didn't have this much preaching. I think the author could have written the book with the same impact if she would have cut out a lot of the bible quoting.While this book was just okay at most for me, I think it is because this type of book is not my style. I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy a book that had to force bible scriptures to me in every chapter. If you like these types of books, then I do urge you to read it. :Like I said, the author does of wonderful job with the writing skills. But, if you are not a fan of this sort of genre, or if you don't like to be preached to within each chapter, then I suggest holding off on reading this book right away. less
