Excerpt from book: she reminded him demurely. "Wasn't Cherry a good substitute?" "Cherry's adorable!" he agreed heartily. "Isn't she sweet?" .Anne asked enthusiastically. "She's only a little girl, really, but she's a little girl who is going to have a lot of attention some day!" she added, in her most matronly manner. Martin did not answer, but turning briskly toward the doctor, he devoted himself to the business in hand. Peter had climbed on an inverted barrel, to inspect and advise. Alix dashed upstairs for nails and hammer; the doctor whittled pegs; Martin measured the comparative strength of ropes and branches with a judicial eye and hand. Anne flitted about, suggesting, commenting, her pretty little head tipped to one side. They were all deep in the first united tug, each person placed carefully by the doctor, and guys for the rope driven at intervals decided by Martin, when there was an interruption for Cherry's arrival on the scene. With characteristic coquetry she did not approach, as the others had, by means of the front porch and the garden path, but crept from the study window into a veritable tunnel of green bloom, and came crawling down it, as sweet and fragrant, as lovely and as fresh, as the roses themselves. She wore a scant pink gingham that had been a dozen times to the tub, and was faded and small; it might have been a regal mantle and diadem without any further enhancing her extraordinary beauty. Her bright head was hidden by a blue sunbonnet, assumed, she explained later, because the thorns tangled her hair; but as, laughing and smothered with roses, she crept into view, the sunbonnet slipped back, and the lovely, flushed little face, with tendrils of gold straying across.the white forehead, and mischief gleaming in the blue, blue eyes was framed only in loosened pa...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Couldn't put it down,
By Avid Reader (Ohio Valley) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sisters (Kindle Edition)
This well written book was hard to put down. The characters were very well developed. I was disappointed that one reviewer chose to tell too much about the ending, & ruined it a bit for me. This is one of those books that you think about for a long time after reading it. Some of the free books are not worth my time, but this one is a very good read. My only complaint is the careless way the book was transferred into kindle format...lots of errors.

This review is from: Sisters (Kindle Edition)
I am not normally a reader of romance novels. I usually read thrillers or mysteries. But I figures why not try it, it is free. I really was surprised by this book and enjoyed it.I not being a romance novel fan actually liked the way the book did not end all Candy and Roses. But just like the other reviewer did not care for the spoiled brat lil sister either. I am getting the other books by this auther on my kindle.

I Disagree with most everyone!,
By Cindy BVG (Eureka, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sisters (Kindle Edition)
I have read many sweet love stories and this was NOT one of them! This was one of the most depressing books I have ever read! I kept hoping the characters would have some sort of conviction about their thought lives that would spill over into their actions, but it never happened. Unfortunatley, I am not one to close a book without finishing it. I want to give the author every opportunity to prove I am wrong about whether I like it or not. In this case, I should have tossed it aside - everyone loses!
Another negative thing is that the author over-used exclamation points throughout the whole book and it was very irritating!!! The only reason I gave this book 2 stars is because I did like how the author used words to describe scenes.
