Hearts of Briarwall

{TMP} {UM}

Could Probably Recommend (Maybe with Explanation)

Let me just say, I loved Krista Jensen's writing!

She made her characters fun and crafted witty dialogue for them.

The storyline was great if not a tiny bit predictable and I was anxious to keep reading.

There were a few mildly {Uncomfortable Moments} but mostly, there were a couple of kissing scenes that were a little too descriptive for me {Too Much Passion}.  It even says in her bio that she likes to write about "really great kisses"...so, yeah...

Anyway, I would love to recommend this book to friends and probably will, but, I will mention the kissing as a little too much.

(Also, she set it up really nicely for more books featuring the same characters so I will look forward to those...minus the "really great kisses" :)

If I have ever read an Agatha Christie before it has been a very long time.  I don't know why I haven't read them all since I love a good mystery!

There is a rather violent murder committed though it is described quite tamely {Violence}.

There is also some mention of infidelity {Back Story} but it is not a large part of the story.

The thing that bothered me the most though was some {Language}.  It wasn't frequent or strong enough to make me put it down but it was pushing it for me.  I did not keep actual count but I would say there were about 10 instances of mild swearing.

I feel that I could recommend this book with a warning of the language.

An Alleged Rogue

 

***1/2

G or PG

Easily Recommend

I had absolutely no complaints with this book.

It had a little bit of a different plot than is usually expected and I liked the setting of an apple orchard for many of the scenes.

This one is super clean and I could easily recommend it to anyone!

An Uncommon Earl

 

***1/2

PG

Easily Recommend

This book started out kind of slow for me but picked up at the end.

It was very clean...no objections to anything...and a sweet story.

So even though it wasn't the most exciting page turner I've ever read, I would easily recommend it to anyone!
