The Highwayman's Letter

Would Probably Recommend

I ended up liking this book more than I expected to.  The storyline was playful and fun.  The characters were well developed and enjoyable.  I don't know why I thought it would take me a while to get through it (purely based on the cover) but I read it quite quickly.

My only complaint was that there was just a little too much description for me in the kissing scenes {Too Much Passion}.  Everything else though was quite clean.

I think I could feel good about recommending this book to others.  I am also interested in reading the rest of the Sons of Somerset series.

Jane Eyre

Will Recommend

I have always loved this story but have never read the book.  Recently I had a hankering to do so.  

I loved it!

Now, there was a little bit of {Language} and not just offensive language but extremely flowery language.  At times I didn't quite catch what Ms Bronte was trying to convey but I enjoyed the antique wordage anyway.  I reveled in the classic tale and the dark storyline.

Mr Rochester also has a bit of a wild past {Backstory} but changes his ways and Jane is steadfast in her morals and is ultimately rewarded.

This makes me want to go read some other classics!

Could Recommend

This was a fine book.  The only problem was I felt like it was so focused on the love story...like overly so.  It was a little too sappy for me.  I don't remember feeling like the first book in the series was like that but as always, it could depend on my mood/state of mind while reading.

It was very clean...I don't think there was anything in it that I objected to other than just too much flowery love talk :)

I will be interested to read the next one coming out in 5 or 6 months but in the meantime I don't think I will be recommending this one only because it didn't really hold my interest.
