review 1: This book is as good if not better than I had hoped it would be. The story is unique and I must admit that I loved it so much that I immediately plunged into the sequel "Kaydie". Though there are times I can't relate to McKenzie I still really grew to love her character (and I also found there where times when I saw myself in her personality). But I still think she's completely insane to want to leave a man like Zach! LOL! Personally I think that every mother out there needs to buy this book for themselves and then have there sons read it! If every bachelor read this book and behaved just a little more like Zach this dark world would be a far better place and maybe I wouldn't be single! HA! But I digress. Back to the book. McKenzie is amazing! I love the way Penny writes t... morehe character's prayers and the way she weaves God's Holy word in with her own. They are both real, conversational, and flawless. Filled with twists and surprises I was shocked at times, and laughed wholeheartedly at others! My recommendation is to get the whole series, curl up on a comfy piece of furniture, and tuck in for some REALLY great reads!Oh and you may need some music to go with that! : "Sweet Hour Of Prayer" by The Cluster Pluckers and "Mine All Mine" by Shedaisy compliment this book well I think!Isaiah 9;6~ASC
review 2: McKenzie (Montana Skies #1) reminded me strongly of Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly series, with a little bit of Taming of the Shrew mixed in. McKenzie Worthington, at the beginning of the story, is a spoiled, entitled young woman who believes in her own goodness because she goes to church, even if, as she admits later, it is for "purely social reasons." When she marries the godly man Zach Sawyer and comes to live in the town of Pine Haven, she slowly begins to discover what it means to "walk with God."This is a very sweet book with lots of beautiful description of the wide open spaces of Montana and what it was like to live in the 1800s. I especially liked the liberal sprinkling of prayers and Bible verses that were appropriately quoted by the characters. This is not a preachy book at all, but instead shows that none of us are perfect - we all must seek forgiveness from each other and God in order to build long lasting relationships.I found the book to be a little predictable, and although I enjoyed the ending, I found it slightly implausible for the time period. However, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and easy read which I would recommend to any fan of the genre less
