Rating:  Summary: Exotic Review: What first caught my attention was the cover which immediately brought to mind the picture of Taj Mahal. Then I read the book. To say Patty Metzer is an amazing author is an understatement. This book was wonderful. The prince was gorgeous and the heroine, for once was intelligent and thankfully not to much so. In most christian romance books, the hero and heroine don't seem to be attracted physically to each other, but this book has all the spine-tingling tidbits that will give you the idea that characters are attracted to each other. I love the Indian setting. It lent the storyline a sultry exotic setting. The characters were intriguing and so was the plot line. Although I thik the Prince's character was a little to bratty and arrogant, it worked well for the plot line because he showed the right emotions at the right time. All in all, it was a great read and I would recommend it for anyone who wants romance that does not contain Hentai( japanese, for well you know..)Good job Patty!(...)
Rating:  Summary: Excellent inspirational romantic suspense-not preachy Review: With the death of her sister Ellen, Erica Tanner believes she must honor her sibling and deceased brother-in-law by raising their four-year-old nephew Betul. She has never met her nephew, but before Erica and Betul can become acquainted, Sikh kidnappers abduct the two and take them to India. Betul's Uncle, Prince Sajah Ajari, manages to rescue the duo. As Erica tries to learn why the Sikh fanatics apparently want her and her nephew dead, she and the Prince are attracted to one another. However, they differ on religious beliefs, especially those impacting on Betul. Erica wants to raise the child as a Christian in deference to her sister's final wishes while Sajah wants his nephew raised as a Hindu. As the twosome diametrically disagree, they must find a common ground to keep Betul even as they fall in love. LIGHTS OF THE VEIL is a fast-paced inspirational relationship drama that contains an underlying theme that belief in God is critical to overcome impossible obstacles. Although author Patty Metzer's basic dogma is vital to the plot, the story line provides the audience with a fast-paced action thriller that showcases India while providing insight into the Sikh and Hindu people. The conflict and love between Sajah and Betul is timely in this modern world where inter-religious families are becoming the norm. Ms. Metzer invigorates her readers with an entertaining, deeply inspiring action tale. Harriet Klausner
Rating:  Summary: A phenomenal book! Review: You need only read the first few pages to be hooked - Ms. Metzer's poetic word choice, complex character development, exotic settings, and rivetting plot provide for a story that you will not want to put down - and you'll wish the end does not come so quickly. Even more powerful, however, is the truth of God's love, patience, and grace so eloquently delivered and woven into the story. This book is one that will not be forgotten with an inspirational message that will leave you touched. If you're like myself, you'll be hoping to see more of Metzer's works in the future. In the meantime, look up KEEPER OF THE LIGHT - her other book out on the market. It too, will most likely become one of your favorites.
