- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wednesday, July 18, 2012The Promise of Home by kathryn springer 4 STARS The Promise of Home was charming novel. Love the kids and dogs. Thier is nothing to offend someone with swearing or sex scenes. They do quote a couple of scriptures and bring up church and a church activity. It was part of the story and not just thrown in. Jenna Gardner has not seen or heard from her sister since the birth of her nephew over 7 years ago. Now she gets a call that her sister is in rehab. after a fire in thier her home. The social worker told her to come Mirror Lake and take care of her neice and nephew. She did not even know that tori existed. She has not seen Logan after her visit when her sister left the hospital. Jenna takes the kids back to were they were living before the fire. It turns out to be a rundown cabin close to a lake. Jenna is a city gal in fact that is what her news story are about the good life in the city. As she is getting Tori out a big dog comes and scares them. When the owner hears the scream and comes running he looks scary too. Devlin McGuire had just come back home from camping when he hears screams and runs into a women sitting on her car with his dog enjoying her shoe. Once he confirms he is not a wolf the kids get out of the car and loves the dog. Devlin left the city with his good job in the company his father owns. His fiance who wanted the rich life style to enjoy nature by staying in his grandfather's cabin. Devlin is a hermit now days. Next day Devlin is fishing when Logan comes to join him and he lets Logan catch a fish. When Jenna and Tori come looking for Logan . Tori names the fish that Logan was going to eat Fred. So they let Fred go back into the lake, because you can't eat Fred. Logan looks out for his little sister. Jenna is worried about her sister and her kids. She has not had much experience with kids. Jenna is trying hard to do whats best for them. Mirror Lakes sounds charming I would not mind reading about the characters in the town in the future. I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from netgalley. 06/05/2012 PUB Harlequin Imprint Harlequin Love Inspired
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A quick read with engaging if not fully-developed characters; this book falls into what I would call "light fiction." It will be enjoyable for those who follow Christian fiction (not historical fiction as it is set in modern times) and can easily be read in a day or two. Protagonist Jenna Gardner finds herself saddled with her sister's youngsters in a setting that couldn't be more foreign to her personal preferences. The story surrounds her attempts to avoid the attention of her neighbor while she finds herself strangely attracted to him and his faith.
