When this book was first announced, I was pumped! Additional SW The Clone Wars stories? Count me in.
However, this did not include new stories to my recollection. They were all based on existing Clone Wars eps. Maybe I missed that disclosure? Maybe I didn't.
Ultimately, obviously I was disappointed that I got a book of rehashed tales. The tales were still good, because Clone Wars is a good show. Thank god I didn't buy it.

Why am I always sent flying towards "bad boys" I swear to god I have a problem! Biancia is cynical,rather angry and sarcastic I love her! Wesley is big headed,irritating,and more or less a twat. I love him too.
This is a story of things not always turning out the way you expect them to,and having to pick up the pieces along the way.
Im going now because I have to dream about Wesley :)

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Bernard Cornwell adaptations.
I (generally) like his books.
I've yet to encounter a good adaptation, with the possible exception of the 90s Sharpe series (with Sean Bean), although those definitely needed a bigger budget!
This is loosely based on Cornwell's 'Warlord' trilogy - The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur - which Cornwell himself views as his best works.
They're a 'realistic' retelling of the Arthurian stories, basically.

I want nothing to do with Jesus or God.” After over twenty years of abuses from the cult-like church she grew up in, Lane Argosy has had it with God and His people. Though the Brethren try to make Lane and her family’s lives unbearable, freedom from their warped brand of Christianity is sweet. She’ll never go back… never. He just wanted to visit the country he’d explored through books. So, when Matt Rushby arrives in Argosy Junction, Montana, he expects idyllic meadows and craggy rocks towering above, old-fashioned friendliness and at least one or two cowboys. Instead, he finds familiar hatred and factions very much like the ones back home in Rockland’s inner-city gangs. The Argosy family is disillusioned, broken, and floundering. Matt knows the answer is Jesus—just Him and not the trappings of a faith He never designed. But how can Matt help them turn their hearts back to the Lord when he suspects Lane has stolen his?
My Thoughts: Lane Argosy isn't like every other girl you would meet,; and that's just what Matt Rushby found out when he stuck in a field of "ferocious" sheep. This was an interesting book to read. Not only was it a romance novel, set in Montana, but it's also a story about how some churches can become toxic to its members. It deals with how pride can come into our lives and not only hurt us but other people as well. It's a good reminder to always go to the Bible when in doubt about teachings in the church.
It's also a reminder that God is always there waiting for us no matter how far we stray from Him, that He is a forgiving father. It's also about forgiving others. Prayer is a great tool, and we should always turn to God in prayer over everything in our lives, big or small.
The characters are enjoyable and entertaining in this novel, the author really brings them to life for the reader and the added humor is something I enjoyed. This is a novel that all ages can and will enjoy!
