Rating: Summary: Best of the Series Review: All of the Glenbrooke books are wonderful (maybe not Sunsets as much as the rest), but Echoes is by far the best, in my opinion. Lauren's character reflects our own, and the romance of words is beautiful. :) Definitely read it.

Rating: Summary: This one is disappointing! Review: Any other book I've ever read of Robin Jones Gunn has been spectacular, but this one is so different! I really enjoyed the book itself, but she ended it to soon. The book had just reached the climax, and then she ends it! With no clue of another one to follow up, I'm disappointed in it. If you enjoy being left in the dark forever read this book, but I wouldn't recommend it! I would, however, read any other books of her's!
Rating: Summary: another winner from Gunn! Review: Echoes explores on-line relationships. Lauren, fresh from a broken romance, "meets" KC on line, and they strike up a friendship in cyberspace. Both share a love for everything Victorian, including Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barret Browning, and English Breakfast tea. After a year of corresponding through the magic of the "Web," Lauren finally realizes that she loves KC. Circumstances allow her to finally meet him face to face, but she "chickens out" at the last minute and stands him up. Will Lauren ever meet her true love? And will he actually live up to all that she believes of him? What is God trying to tell Lauren to do with her life? This is a great Christian romance novel, and I recommend it highly.

Rating: Summary: An Awesome Book Review: Echoes is a great book! I would reccomend it to anybody who loves comedy, drama and romance. Keep 'em coming!
Rating: Summary: I felt manipulated - Did not like it Review: Having never read a book by Robin Gunn, I had no idea she was a religious author. I think it would be helpful if something was on the description on the back of the book about this. I felt manipulated because there was no religious references until well in to the book. Then suddenly there were many christian references and I was not interested in that type of storyline. I was not happy with the book and would not have purchased it if I knew the truth about the story.
Rating: Summary: This Book Was Wonderful! Review: I especially enjoyed this book because the main character was believable and likeable. The problems she faced were some many of us can relate to. The humor Robin Jones Gunn puts in her books is priceless! I especially like the fact that the recipes for all the yummy food she mentions are in the back of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone!
Rating: Summary: A sweet book Review: I found this little gem in a garage sale and I knew it was a Christian book ~~ and I haven't had much luck finding good Christian romance that doesn't want to make you gag. This is a really fun book ~~ it reminds me of my dating days before I married my husband and our singles' group. With all the other stuff flooding the market these days, it's nice to know there are still good books out there to read. Lauren breaks off her engagement and her brother gives her a computer, so she meets KC online and they kept writing to one another. A die-hard romantic, Lauren finds herself falling in love with KC's letters. And eventually, they meet and fall in love. Yes, it is predictable and sweet ~~ but it's just fun to read. Also, anyone who displays knowledge of the great authors like Barrett and Browning, Dickens and so on ~~ has my heart! This is a great book to read on rainy days. Short and sweet. 5-17-04
Rating: Summary: Another winner from Multnomah and Robin! Review: I just finished Echoes, and I loved it. Wren and KC were interesting and enjoyable people. I feel like I know them. I loved the way Robin used the Brownings poems in the book. What a great idea! I also loved hearing how Jessica,Kyle and Teri were doing. Keep the great books coming Robin!
