A Worthy Pursuit

I don't know how Karen Witemeyer keeps writing great books, but she's done it again.  This book is funny, endearing, with a touch of romance.  A school teacher putting her life on the line for a few of her students that have become like her own children and a bounty hunter with great conviction and morals but no roots.

The dynamics in this book are very unusual, but it really keeps you entertained and rooting for the happy ending you know has to be coming.

I'd recommend this and all of Karen's other books as well.

In Good Company

In Good Company is an endearing story about a nanny named Millie whose unorthodox ways seem to always get her into trouble.  Everett, a wealthy man who is given guardianship of three young children, finds that he can’t keep any nanny and surely doesn’t want unusual Millie coming on his staff.

The interaction between Everett and Millie is laughable at time and engaging the next.  

There was just the right amount of romance and mystery to make it a very enjoyable read.

I would highly recommend this book and I’m looking forward to Ms Turano’s next book.

Not Just Another Amish Fiction

You know those books you can’t put down and stay up all night reading?  Well sadly this isn’t one of them.  I really wanted to love this book, but I just couldn’t relate with the characters.  The lead character, Molly, is not very likable and is an obsessively controlling person.  Her best friend, isn’t really a friend at all and the men in the story are incredibly fickle. 

I did like the Amish culture weaved into the storyline; it wasn’t like every other Amish story that I’ve read.  It was one of the few books that I didn’t know right away who the “heroine” was going to end up with.  The grammar in this book may have profited from a bit of editing, but that’s forgivable!

This book is a good Amish retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but I couldn’t get into it.
