The Blessing

Rating:
Summary: Joyful Blessing
Review: I loved this book!!!! It was just what I needed at the time. Something lighthearted, funny but serious enough to feel like a good story. No bad language. Reading serious weighted novels all the time can get you down and this was just the perfect "Hallmark" style story to perk me up when I needed it.
It would be a great TV Movie at Christmas time. You go Jude!!!

Summary: And I'm being generous with 2 stars, should be 1.5
Review: Here is a warning: Do not read this book, it's horrible. The entire time I was reading THE BLESSING, I was wanting it to be over. It was so bad that I don't even remember what it was about.

Summary: I can't believe the ratings this book received
Review: I really liked The Blessing. In fact, it was so good, that I read it in a day and a half. The whole story was great. It had humor as well as romance. It is worth reading.

Summary: Ah, blessings. 3 1/2 stars.
Review: I know that this got poor reviews, but I actually liked it! I thought the love story was cute. Jason's attatchment to Max was believable and heartwarming, and thought his love Amy was real and touching. They both had flaws, her extreme pride, and him thinking he could buy everything. What really bothered me about this book was when Amy left him after finding out he was rich. She had no money, no job, nothing, and she just picks up and leaves in the middle of the night in the middle of the winter with her son for NYC? And keeping her son hidden from his Grandma? Um, no, I don't think so. She wanted to prove to herself that she could making a living for her and her son. I did love the changes Jason made. He went from anal Big Time Mr. New York, to trying to restore his hometown and help the children there, helping with education and providing jobs for hard on their luck families. He never forgot her, she never forgot him. What will happen when they meet again? When he finds out she was the one who was hired to paint his library? There was some pretty cute dialogue in this story, and their "arrangment" was an amusing one. I wouldn't give this more than 3 1/2 stars, though. I know she can do better that this.

Summary: Who wrote this?
Review: The book is fab. It is sappy sweet,kind and funny with a capital "F". It is fantasy it is great. BUY BUY BUY. Modern and no historical scenes. All I can say this is the first time I woke up fellow passengers on the plan by laughing out loud so many times. BUY IT in hardcopy because you will read it again, again and again. Hopefully somebody in Hollywood will make this into a movie.

Summary: Not one of her best...
Review: I am a longtime fan of Jude Deveraux, but I cannot recommend this novel. In addition to finding the heroine to be incompetent and helpless, the romance between the two main characters was very disappointing. They barely had a romance. I had to make myself finish this book, which is not a good sign. If you are loking for a good Jude Deveraux book, stick with Sweet Liar or the Velvet series.
