review 1: BACK OF THE BOOK BLURBFashionable Easterner Alison Stripling is shocked to receive a letter from her late sister's husband in Hope, Kansas, pleading for help with his six children. The letter gives Alison a chance to escape her troubles in Boston, and the name of the town seems like a sign from God for a fresh start. But when she arrives at a rustic cabin on the prairie, she's in for a bigger shock: Rafe Munroe didn't write the letter at all! Realizing the children are determined to pair them off, Rafe and Alison secretly join forces to prove the idea would neer work. Can Hope's cupids--all six of them--strike love's arrows into the hearts of their pa and Miss Alison?MY REVIEWI must tell you that this book sounded so familiar to me, like I'd read it before, but if I ... morehave it was before August of 2011 as that is when I started posting reviews. Anyway, I really enjoyed this book, even if this is possibly the second time I've read it. The kids are desperate and just when the adults think they have pulled one over on the kids, STOP, things are getting out of control, lol. A nice read when you need something to give you a laugh once in a while. Thank you Pamela for a lovely story.
review 2: The Monroe kids' mom died a couple of years ago. The 6 of them have been having a hard time with their father, who is still mourning her loss pretty badly. They want a mother to help them and to make their dad happy. The decide they want to send for their mom's sister in Boston, who was adopted when she was a small girl and stayed closely knit to her older sister through letter-writing. Alison decides to meet her nieces and nephews, not knowing one bit what their real plan for her is. This of course makes for interesting events and some drama. I really liked this story a lot. The characters were well developed and I think you saw the struggles really well. It made sense. My ONLY issue with this book is that they mentioned the story of Job from the Bible at one point and said he had a second wife, which is not in the Bible at all. Job's wife didn't die and it states that he had more children. His wife would not be allowed to leave him according to old Jewish law and if he took on a second wife to have children with, the point is that his first wife was still alive. That really irritated me when I read what they mentioned about Job's "second wife." I let it slide and enjoyed the story outside of that issue though!!! less
