Could Probably Recommend
I'm kind of still torn on this series...
Overall, it has a very good feeling so I think I'm going to go off of that.
One thing I like about Lynn Austin is that she tells stories about more than just romance.
Her characters deal with all kinds of hard, real life problems...some of them brought on by their own choices and others not so much.
In this book there is a character who is sexually abused as a young teen {SM} {BSt}
There is also more use of the "B" word in reference to a child born out of wedlock. {UM}
Some might call this book/series "preachy" because of many references made to redemption and forgiveness, but I seriously did not mind them at all. That's what I felt made all the hard stuff bearable and gave it that overall good feeling.
It is very well written and very interesting...just deals with hard things...but I believe I could feel good recommending it.
Do you think it can be read "stand alone"?
