Although Missy Tippen,in her Rita finalist book, A House Full of Hope did an excellent job with the children.Sandra Leesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911169281960710923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-79953868335248548232013-04-09T22:35:04.844-06:002013-04-09T22:35:04.844-06:00Rissi,

My review might sound a bit harsh, and I wavered between giving it 3 or 4 stars (on Goodreads and Shelfari) before deciding on 3... It wasn't a bad read, but I guess I had high hopes after how much I loved Love in Disguise. This one just didn't stand out to me or draw me in as much, although I still enjoyed it overall. :)<br /><br />The same "mention of child missing in synopsis" thing happened to me with Over the Edge by Mary Connealy. I guess the romance and other elements of the plot sometimes take up a lot of synopsis space, but still - I would generally like to know if there are children who are in the story right from the get-go. :) I agree that if children are a part of the story they should be well-incorporated (etc.). <br /><br />That's super cool to get a little glimpse into your WIP! Children can certainly add new dynamics. :) Looking forward to hearing more someday!<br /><br />And I hope you love Love in Disguise as much as I did!! I think maybe the book got mixed reactions because of the nature of the plot, but I personally really enjoyed the adventure and how it all turned out. :) Hope you do, too!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-32705338879973436472013-04-09T17:24:15.314-06:002013-04-09T17:24:15.314-06:00Much thanks for this great review, Amber!
I hear...Much thanks for this great review, Amber! <br /><br />I hear you on the synopsis failing to mention a child. Long time ago, I read one like that. Don't remember what book it was or who by, but it took me by surprise. Kids in romances don't "bother" me and in fact can help the story if handled well. On the other side, if not, they are be a burden on a story. My WIP has kids but they aren't the leading characters so that makes a difference also and allows for new dynamics. <br /><br />One of these days I AM GOING to read Cox's 'Disguise.' Soon.
