Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Barbara Rosenblat's flawless reading makes this a thoroughly enjoyable story about love and adversity with appeal far broader than that of a traditional romance novel. The story focuses upon Jace Randall, who falls in love with Maddie Shepard. Jake's sister, Eden, sabotages the pair, and the plot takes another turn when Jace and Maddie learn of Eden's duplicity. It is from this point that the novel is especially interesting, and it offers a highly satisfying ending. As usual, Rosenblat's reading is smooth, and her ability to convey the characters' emotions is superb. Rosenblat's vocal characterizations enhance the listener's experience, particularly during the dialogue between Jace and the women in his life.

I really enjoyed this story but once again it was not up to what I have come to expect form Lori Wick. The book started out slow and jumped back and forth between so many characters that I had a hard time figuring out who was who at first. And I wish that I had seen some more development of the relationship between the two people besides them manking eyes at each other going on a picnic and then falling in love. And please who has ever heard of someone that has no memory after just a few sips of liquer. If you really want to see Lori Wick at her best read some of her earlier works.

This review is from: Moonlight on the Millpond (Tucker Mills Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

First let me say that I am a huge Lori Wick fan. I own every book of hers except the short stories collection. As one who has read AND loved almost every one of her books, I cannot believe this one was written by her. The dialog between characters was stilted and awkward. Some of the narration was extremely poorly written and seemed to be incomplete or thrown together at times. And some of the happenings are so outrageous and unbelievable that I could not melt into this book and become part of the story like I usually can with books by Lori Wick. Jace comes off as being extremely dull-witted because he keeps making the same mistakes with Maddie and alcohol. Overall, the story had potential to be a typically wonderful Wick work, but this one fell flat.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Moonlight on the Millpond (Tucker Mills Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

Ok, I read what people thought of this book, and I was surprised. I loved this book. I agree with some that it kinda skipped around, but the book was still enjoyable. I plan to buy every book in this series.
