Andrea from La (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A Kiss of Adventure (Treasures of the Heart Series #1) (Kindle Edition)

What a wonderful book to read from a talented, Christian author! The reader will soon be engrossed in the adventures of Tillie and Graeme. You will find yourself cheering the characters on as they face obstacle after obstacle....and find yourself smiling as you watch these two slowly fall in love. I love the Christian aspect of the novel; a very "clean", romantic, and encouraging book with many lessons to teach the reader. I loved the mysterious "treasure element" to the novel, as well. The reader will definitely not be disappointed. I can't wait to read more novel by this wonderful author!!!

This review is from: A Kiss of Adventure (Treasures of the Heart, No. 1) (Paperback)

I enjoyed all four books in this series but this one is my favorite. Be prepared for non-stop action and a taste of Africa.

The depiction about an adventure in African is good. But there's too much religious stuff. It's all right to have Bible quotes. Many books do. Read more
