Review of Plots and Pans

Title: Plots and Pans

Author: Kelly Eileen Hake

Series: no

 

Chapters: 40

Pages:313

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Rating: 4.5 stars

     Going into this book I didn’t know what to expect. I normally don’t pick a book just based on the title. However with this book I did, the title Plots pans just stood out to me. To me the title just said to me that one of the characters was going to make a plot and plans that were going to involve pans. I was sort of right the majority of this book takes place on a cattle drive.  Tucker Carmichael doesn’t know to do with his best friend and co rancher owner’s younger sister Jessalyn Culpepper or Jess for short. She’s a bit of a tomboy and has been known for getting herself into scraps all her life.

I ended up enjoying this novel, which I often do when the heroine happens to be a bit of a tomboy I guess it is because I was one growing up as well.  The first few chapters are a bit slow but as it goes along it picks up fairly quickly. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes westerns, Romance and Christian historical fiction.

Review of Books can be deceiving

Title: Books Can be Deceiving

Author: Jenn McKinlay

Series: A Library Lover’s Mystery

 

Chapters: 27

Pages: 291

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

     A nice cozy mystery, with a few cuss words. I enjoyed the fact that many of the scenes were in a library.  The fact that the main character is a librarian with her children’s librarian side kick was a neat twist. 

Review of The Trouble with Cowboys

Title: The Trouble with Cowboys

Author: Denise Hunter

Genre: Christian Romance

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

October 2^nd 2012

     The Trouble with Cowboys is the third book in the Big Sky Romance series by Denise Hunter. Even though I read it first it didn’t really ruin the first two books for me. Dylan Taylor is a cowboy who is seen as a bad boy even though he’s really not. However he does nothing to change people’s minds. The way that he acts actually makes it worse.

     Annie Wilkerson is trying to make ends meet by working two jobs. In the process trying to get her sister through school. She doesn’t have time for romance especially with a bad boy cowboy.  However Annie ends up working with Dylan’s horse and things start to change.

     I enjoyed reading The Trouble with Cowboys. Dylan quickly grew on me. It was easy to see his softer side. The Trouble with Cowboys is the first book I’ve read by Denise Hunter but it will not be the last. I’ve always enjoyed reading books about cowboys they happen to be my favorite type of hero. I also cannot wait to read the other two books in The Big Sky romance series.
