Rating: Summary: A Beautiful Story Of Discovering Our True Self! Review: I love this book! I couldn't put it down! I could relate to the main character, because we all have been hurt in a relationship sometime or other. Whether it was a family member or a personal relationship. Our hearts are packed with different hurts and needs. Robin Gunn takes you on a journey of discovering our hearts! I hope you enjoy the story about Lauren and all the other wonderful characters in her book! Thank you Robin! Now I am ready to read Secrets and the rest of The Glenbrooke Series.
Rating: Summary: Christians meeting online? Review: I really liked this book. KC ended up being a great guy and all, and I thought it was awesome how this story was connected to all the other Glenbrooke books. I at first thought "Ok, nice love story, but I'm not so sure about meeting people online..." It can be dangerous, and also it's just not quite the same as a "real" relationship. I was glad though that Wren told KC that she wanted to get to know him better in person now that they were both moving to Glenbrooke. Really, if you think about it, they couldn't have met each other in person like that and planned on moving to the same town without the other one knowing without it being a God-thing. Anyways, I thought at first that maybe I disagreed, but it turned out ok in the end. If you like Christian romances (or even if you don't) you'll love anything by Robin!
Rating: Summary: Robin Jones Gunn does Christian Romance beautifully! Review: I really really enjoyed this book. I am now reading another of hers, Sunsets, which is good also. I will have to keep on reading more of her books as they have really entertained and uplifted me. I read on my break at work and sometimes I laugh out loud because of the funny things she says in her books and I'm sure my coworkers are wondering what I'm reading. lol Anyway, I'd recommend this book! It's interesting how she and the guy met on the internet and corresponded for a year and then eventually met. I really like the christian values in her books!
Rating: Summary: Sorry! Review: I wrote another review saying that this book was really bad. I didn't fully understand at the time that it was part of a series which went on to explain what happend with them. The book really was good until the end. I still don't think that she ended it in the correct way, but with being able to see what happens with them in the other books it makes this one seem a lot better! Just make sure that you have "Clouds" and "Waterfalls" handy to read right away!
Rating: Summary: I felt manipulated - Did not like it Review: I've read the books in the Glenbrooke Series and I've decided that I enjoy Echoes the most. It makes me think of the movie I saw with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan called You've Got Mail. The two characters in the story are having a wonderful relationship using email and you hope they'll finally get together in person.I kind of wondered when I started this book, how it would finally tie into Glenbrooke, since the main character, Lauren, lives in the south. But Robin Jones Gunn brought it all back to Glenbrooke in an interesting way. One of the reasons I enjoyed this series so much is because the books all have nice, likeable Christian characters. When you read about Glenbrooke, you wish you lived in a town like that!

Rating: Summary: My favorite RJG book! Review: In Echoes, Robin Jones Gunn creates characters that really seem to live. After a painful breakup, Lauren meets another believer, known only as K.C., on-line. They begin an intense e-mail relationship, one that others are not likely to understand. How can she be in love with a man she has never even seen? To find out how it ends, you'll have to read it for yourself. After you do, I would recommend that you go back and read the first two books in the Glenbrooke series, which give background information about other characters. And, after you read this, you'll be glad to know that Lauren and K.C. appear in other books later in the series. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Her best yet! Review: Robin Jones Gunn is one of my favorite authors, and this is my favorite of all her books! The romance is sweet and the touch of mystery adds a great deal to this superb book!
Rating: Summary: lost interest Review: The first two books in this series are OK, although they are both full of stereotypes about dating and relationships. This one is bearable, however. It is also very predictable. Lauren Phillips breaks off her engagement to another guy and ends up falling for a guy over the internet. From there I'm sure you can guess the ending. If this series were not so predictable and full of stereotypes, I might keep reading. But as is, book three is the last one for me. Pardon me while I throw up and then contemplate how Robin Jones Gunn, as a Christian, should know better than to streotype who ends up married to whom. The first two maybe worth your while. But leave the rest.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book! Review: This book touched me in a way no other book of it's subject has before. Had just been thru an internet relationship, and having being hurt in the process, this book really changed my out view on a few issues. It also made me really think about my own religion thoughts (or rather lack of) that I had. The way Robin wrote about the characters and the settings, it was like you were there...like you were the characters. Robin's book touched me in a way no other book has touched me. It has touched my heart and to some extent, my soul. Please continue with your books Robin!
