I have to say that as a person who reads alot I don't normally read books about older couples. But I do have to say that this one was very very cute. I liked it a whole lot. I would love to read books about older couples like this one more often. It kept me wanting to know what was going on. I was constantly wanting to read ahead just to find out what was happening. Overall it was a very satisfying read.

To start with the first revieweer had no business giving 1 star on a book they had not read. How sad. They should not be aloud to review. I thought it was a wonderful book. I will say I bought it because I love autumn but I enjoyed it very much. Don't want to spoil it for you though.

Loved, Loved, Loved this book! Although a bit confusing keeping track of the characters I found this story about faith, love and family a wonderful read. I thoroughly enjoyed the constant scripture and christian aspects of everyday life throughout the book. I would highly suggest it as a must read to anyone who needs inspired by how God works in our lives when we follow his guidance and the rewards of being obedient to his will:)

Autumn Promises

by Kate Welsh

As the latest in the Laurel Glen series, Autumn Promises brings the reader into a familiar world with familiar faces. It's always intriguing to get a closer look at characters that were only supporting in previous works, and this story of Meg Taggert and Evan Alton has been in the makings for quite a while. That the initial conflict between the characters was smoothed out quickly and efficiently I found refreshing; that the resulting conflict was drawn out so long I find curious. Their inability to entertain the theory of compromise is almost startling, but then, people often are. At any rate, it was nice to finally get the full story of these two characters that Love Inspired readers have been acquainted with for years.



Finding Amy

by Carol Steward

The undercurrents in Steward's "Faith on the Line" series are palpable, the struggle to pin down the "bad guys" unending. In Finding Amy, however, the criminal wheels that our main character, Sam Vance, is trying to bring to a halt take a back burner to a woman who's been on his mind for a while, Jessica Mathers. We still get to see the detective in action in the search for his new love's daughter, but there are no easy answers to the larger search. I appreciate that Jessica's discovery of faith takes on a prominent role and sees her through the ensuing problems of searching for her daughter; often this crucial element can be nearly forgotten in the plot, but I was relieved to find that Jessica herself brought it up regularly. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this quality in the following books.



Love Enough for Two

by Cynthia Rutledge

Love Enough for Two was one of the fastest stories I've read in a while. The narrative moves quickly, the characters grabbing you as forcefully as they latch onto each other. Entertainment comes through their wit and the switch that is supposed to be so innocent that you know disaster is imminent. My only complaint is that is moves so quickly I'm left wondering exactly when the first change comes over Matthew Dixon, to turn him from a playboy to a seeker of the Lord. His second change into a family man, however, was well thought out and convincing.

I don't really like books about older couples, and did not read all of this one because of that, even though I do like Kate Welsh as an author. Here is the back cover review.
For years, Evan Alton had avoided forming ties and concentrated on building his ranch. But now his twin baby grandchildren needed urgent care, and he'd do anything for them...even let Meg Taggert, the one woman who infuriated him as no one else could, stay on the ranch to help. Lucky for Evan, Meg was there temporarily. Yet as they took care of the babies together, arguments changed to playful banter, and the harshness in their eyes gave way to understanding...and more. Funny, suddenly matching wits with Meg was making Evan feel more alive than he ever had. Could he be the one Meg was really sent to help?
