Probably Recommend with an Explanation
Recently I checked a couple books out from the library of which I had no background knowledge. Both were set in modern day and both looked super interesting.
I was so disappointed in them though. One just had too much swearing for me and the other one started out really well but the further I got into the book junk started to creep in :( I didn't finish either one.
I can think of two other library books where the same thing happened and I was so frustrated with the direction these authors felt like they needed to take their plots!
I'm making note of these authors so I won't touch them with a ten foot pole again...maybe I should post the list sometime.
Anyway, having come off of those disappointing books, I was in need of something to read.
I went to my stacks of books I have purchased and never read (my mom teases me about this) and pulled this one out. I was hesitant since it too was modern and I didn't know anything about this author. However, it was a Christian publisher so that gave me a bit of comfort :)
I was so pleased that there was absolutely no swearing in this book!
What a miracle!
It was really clean with some small exceptions that probably wouldn't bother most people:
The kissing did get over described in a couple of places {TMP}...but not terribly.
A secondary character has a {BSt} that is referenced a couple of times but is not pertinent to the plot.
There were some {UM}...among which was a scene where the main woman falls asleep in a hospital bed with the main man...of course nothing untoward happens but I was a bit uncomfortable with that. Also, toward the end of the book there is a question of whether or not he will sleep in her bed one night to protect her. He doesn't...but there is that.
Overall, the book was intriguing...it kept me reading!
There is definitely mystery and excitement which, when paired with clean, is right up my alley :)!
Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am proud of you for reading one of the books you have been stockpiling. LOL
