The Baby Farm

Rating:
Summary: Great Writer, Great Book...wish there was more romance.
Review: I have read almost all of Karen Harper's books. I think she is a great writer. She really pulls you into the story. Like all of her other stories, she has a gift for making you feel like you are the heroine/hero. You feel like you are actually living in Apalachia (sp?).

I liked the character of Emma - the midwife/heroine of the book. Griff was interesting too. I wish Karen Harper would include more romance in her books. I always feel like she is holding back in the romance dept. There were so many opportunities in this book. I do highly recommend this book. Romance or not the story was suspenseful and the secondary characters were first rate!

Summary: I enjoyed this book, but need more time on my hands.
Review: I think the book is written well. It kept up at night wondering what will happen next, Karen Harper is an author who paints a picture for you. The storyline is wonderful,it makes you think Hm-mmm could this really be happening somewhere. I can't say anymore. It is an excellent book,and a fantastic storyline.Karen if all your books are as interesting as this one, then your are an exceptional author who paints a picture well. I felt as if was part of the book. Thank you for writing a very good book.

Summary: The Baby Farm reviewed
Review: The story in this book was interesting, but I found the style of telling it to be choppy and hard to follow. The description of a difficult childbirth was mesmerizing and really well-done, but the romance was too sparse. Mostly I objected to ends not being tied up....we never found out what happened to several of the secondary characters, people we had either come to like or wanted to be sure they got what they deserved!

Summary: Suspenseful -- but too many coincidences
Review: This book has a great plot and some wonderful twists. Having the heroine be a midwife and the hero be a doctor was a wonderful idea.

I would have rated it higher if there weren't so many plot coincidences. Also, a couple of scenes, though exciting, didn't ring true because they seemed a bit contrived.

Also, I would like to know why the front cover blurb gives away a major secret!

I gave this one a B- a All About Romance.
