4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely kept my interest!, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Time to Love (Mail Order Bride Series #2) (Paperback)

This is the first book I've read by these authors and was pleasantly surprised. The storyline took several unexpected turns that kept the reader engrossed in the lives of the main characters. However, it is my opinion that the two main characters were written a little too perfect spiritually, resembling more of how the autors would hope their characters would talk rather than actual realistic human (Christian or otherwise) responses. Hopefully we would all lead our lives in such a focused, unerring Christian attitude, but it would've helped the reader to see these characters struggle in everyday life a little more. Let me hasten to add, however, that the storyline is so intriging and the characters so likeable that I would still recommend it as a very good read.

This review is from: A Time to Love (Mail Order Bride Series #2) (Paperback)

I chose this to begin the series of Mail Order Brides, and was pleasantly surprised at all the drama, intrigue, Christian morals and variety of characters.

When Linda's wedding turns to a horrible nightmare, she wonders if she will ever love again. Since mail order brides was quite new, she decides to escape her recluse life by giving it a try.

The man she falls in love with by mail and goes to meet all the way across the country, does not meet any of the criteria he himself had set for her, nor that she had pictured.

The reader will follow several different plots that have twists and turns and more suspense than one book usually holds.

I am heading to get another in this series...thanks Lacys.

1.0 out of 5 stars not good at all, September 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Time to Love (Mail Order Bride Series #2) (Paperback)

This book had a predictable plot line and stiff characters. The reader is bashed over the head with the character's beliefs. Their Christian beliefs are, of course, good, but that was all that the characters had going for them. I would recommend this book to no one.
