- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The entire Belles of Timber Creek series was fun to read. Following along the journey of three quirky, but lovable, opinionated and adventurous friends. This book is the final book coming after Twice Loved and then Three Times Blessed and it was a great way to fully get to know Copper. From the first chapter of the first book I knew that Copper was my favorite and was eager to hear her story. Now that I have, I'm glad to have read this series as it was a great time in a triple romance....more The entire Belles of Timber Creek series was fun to read. Following along the journey of three quirky, but lovable, opinionated and adventurous friends. This book is the final book coming after Twice Loved and then Three Times Blessed and it was a great way to fully get to know Copper. From the first chapter of the first book I knew that Copper was my favorite and was eager to hear her story. Now that I have, I'm glad to have read this series as it was a great time in a triple romance.This book has so much more than the rest of the series in a way of Biblical lessons for me. Learning to let go and let God as well as true forgiveness of one's self are true hard lessons. In this story they are shared in a very vivid light. I highly recommend the entire series as well as other series and books from author Lori Copeland.*Thanks to Kendra of HarperCollins for providing a copy for review.*
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A Simple & Predictable Love Story****SOFT SPOILERS**** One True Love by Barbara Freethy is a predictable love story centering on the shared tragedy and reunification of a divorced couple. My free copy was chosen based on the many 4 and 5 star Amazon reviews. The writing was passable and I didn't let the typos & poor editing affect me as they seem common with e-books. The whole tragic premise of the dead baby was just not appealing to me. I found the side plot of Maggie's need to get away from her children and subsequent adventure more interesting. The romances I enjoy are usually combined with history, the paranormal or mystery, so that might be one reason I found this book tame. The pace was quite slow, particularly at the start. Once the "hunt" is in full swing, about 2/3 through the story, the pacing is much better, then slows down to the denouement. The reactions of the main characters to events and to each other were somewhat overblown. As the story progresses, Nick and Jeremy became less plausible and were written more like a woman wished a man would respond. I found the obvious ending to be sappy. Perhaps straight romantic fiction isn't a genre that I find all that exciting.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was the final book in this series and I would encourage everyone to read these books in order in this series, because it will really help you get to know the 3 ladies in the series better. I would also like to give high praise to the people who designed these covers because they did a really good job and they all went well with each story.Copper's friends Audrey and Willow have both found love in the town of Thunder Ridge and Copper has found a good teaching position close by. But when the schoolhouse catches fire, Copper suffers a serious injury trying to rescue some of her students. The only doctor who might possibly help her is in another town far away. The wagon train, led by Josh Redlin is headed to Colorado and they will take Copper with them until they come to the fort the doctor is at. The problem here is that Copper and Josh can't ever seem to get along so it makes life very interesting. But the more Copper sees Josh in action, the more she sees who he really is, and some of her weaknesses also comes to light. She comes to depend on him and in the end she will need to trust him completely; will she fail the test?This was lighthearted at times, but also had alot of tragedy and sadness in it. We can't understand why some very bad things happen to some folks, but our trust must be in a God who we know is good. Heartache, death, love, friendship and alot of "conflicts" between Copper and Josh make this a good ending to a really good series.
