4.0 out of 5 stars Good wholesome book where you love the characters., July 6, 1999

This review is from: Fox Island (Hidden West Series #1) (Paperback)

This book is a about a husband and wife writing team. They work together but definately don't always see eye to eye. I liked it because it showed marriage in a positive light. The couple often talk to God when they are having struggles. This book helped to remind me that when I have struggles I can talk to Him wherever I am whenever I like. You wind up really liking this family. I bought the other two books in the series and am excited to read them.

This series is one of the best I've read. The books are easy, quick reading and hold your interest. The stories incorporate intrigue as well humor in the relationship of the husband/wife team characters. I recommend buying all 3 in the series!

This review is from: Fox Island (Hidden West Series #1) (Hardcover)

This was a really refreshing novel written in a light and humorous way, yet dealing with serious relationship issues. Have been to Fox Island and loved the portrayal of that area. Tony & Price Shadowbrook are charming characters and give an intriguing look into a married couple's and writing team's inner life. Was very disappointed to learn there are only three books in this series!
