One of my favs

They battle bigotry, jealousy and ignorance but still forge a solid relationship that's told by an excellent writer. Definitely one of my favorite books to keep in my library.

Just OK -- just barely
But it's a very early Cheryl St. John, and HEAVEN CAN WAIT lacks her later novels' deft touch and lighter handling of plot and character.

But it's a very early Cheryl St. John, and HEAVEN CAN WAIT lacks her later novels' deft touch and lighter handling of plot and character. The cover art is lovely, but what's inside the cover drags and hits melodramatic high notes by the end (the obsessive pyromaniac sister-in-law; the heroine's running away from the hero, without hearing his side of the story...) It's a little heavy on typical standard 'Harlequin' plot turns, which Ms. St. John was later able to avoid in her stories. I don't recommend it. It's not a totally bad book, but it's just not very good.

OLD-FASHIONED ROMANCE AT ITS BEST,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heaven Can Wait (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)
Interesting, well-developed characters combine with a stirring plot to create a sweet, memorable romance. Jakob and Lydia find an enduring love despite their different backgrounds, strengthened by their faith in God and family.I enjoyed this book, and so will you. |
