Rating: Summary: Great Beginning to a Great Series Review: This is one of the very first Lori Wick books I ever read. The first time I read it I couldn't put it down! I read it all in one sitting. That was five years ago, the book is still one of my favorites and now I'm a Lori Wick addict! The Hawk and The Jewel is a wonderful story full of excitement and romance. Both the plot and the characters are well developed and entertaining. The romance between the two lead characters is absolutely priceless! I thought this book was on the same level as some of Wick's best work, such as Sophie's Heart and Where the Wild Rose Blooms. If you liked this series you'll also enjoy Wick's The Californians series.
Rating: Summary: READ THIS BOOK! Review: This is the first book that I read of Lori Wick and I just thought it was wonderful. Ever since that day when I saw this book in my school library I was hooked on Lori Wick for life. Although I picked it out because I liked the cover I know now that Lori Wick is going to be known for the way she writes her love stories. Although I am a Chrsitin I really didn't think about Christ until I read Lori Wick. Now I know that I should read the Bible more and tell people of the love of Christ. Thank you, Lori Wick!
Rating: Summary: Good Story and Characters Review: This is the story of a young English girl named Sunny, who is raised in the Middle East and then returns to the place of her birth when she is thirteen. Basically, the first part of the book is about her voyage back to England and her adjustment to a different way of life once she is reunited with her family. The second part of the book deals with Sunny's growing up, finding Christ, and finally, coming to terms with her love for Brandon Hawksbury. I was never bored while reading this story and enjoyed the trouble Sunny was always getting into. I could relate to the way that Sunny was always searching for something to fill the emptyness in her life, an emptyness that can only be filled by God. I especially enjoyed the feeling of family that this book portrayed. The leading characters were not always perfect. Brandon was slightly judgemental and bossy at times, and Sunny was somewhat impulsive, but I think that it's the characters flaws that make them so real. All in all, this is an entertaining read with a good Christian message.
Rating: Summary: The Best I've Ever Read! Review: This was definitely one of the best books I've ever read. My grandmother gave it to me to read and I seriously couldn't put it down. It was so good that I read it in one day. It had just the right ammount of romance to keep me going. Lori Wick describes her characters so excellently that I fell in love with Brandon, and found myself wishing that I was Sunny. Being a Christian girl, I was happy to see that the characters' lives revolved around the Lord. This IS a most-read!
