Candlelight Sweethearts had an interesting storyline. The characters had very vivid descriptions and were both very shy and sweet, which made it an obstacle for them to overcome. The characters in this book really grow into themselves by the end of the story.
Reeling in Love was my favorite book in this collection, probably because I can see myself doing several of the things that the main character does. The story was well written, the scenes believable and it made me smile. I can totally see the situations presented happening in real life. Both the characters have struggled to overcome things and hurt feelings to mend, in the end, though they rely on God to help them muddle through.
Picnics and Prospects This was a fun mini mystery story! The characters played well off each other and I really enjoyed getting to know them (I do wish it could have been a longer story, just so I could have gotten to know the characters' stories a little better). Overall, though this was a fun read. Both of the characters had to come to the realization that sometimes first impressions can be wrong and everyone deserves a second chance.
I give these stories 4 out of 5 stars for their creative picnic ideas, the interesting characters, and the themes of faith and forgiveness.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

We then get led down an intriguing web of local suspects, whose motives and probable involvement becomes more and more bizarre and disturbing. The point of it all seems to be how it is possible to be extremely intelligent, manipulative and to an extent organised, whilst at the same time being quite clearly clinically insane. It is shocking to see and hear about the lives of people so off the rails, who believe themselves to be entirely normal. There are a lot of “oh my god” and “wow” moments in a short space of time, but you also feel a little like the case is being exaggerated and heightened for dramatic purposes. In the end it all seems fairly self explanatory, except that the case was never definitively closed because it is impossible to know if the guy with the bomb was part of the plan all along and therefore a willing accomplice, or whether he was entirely innocent and a victim of a very sinister crime. Being left to debate and decide for yourself is half the “fun” sometimes.
