The Love Inspired product line puts out 6 new books every month and the ones in the photo above will be for sale in May 2015 - just in time for Mother's Day. What I appreciate about this line is that it is smut free. It's big on gentle kisses, touches on the goodness of God, and heavy on the heart swoons.
They're light, they're fluffy, and they're small enough to fit in your purse - perfect waiting room material. Admittedly, if you're looking for a plot twists, existential-mind-blowing dialog or even a surprise, you might want to keep looking. These are your run of the mill paperback romance novels. The guy and gal dislike each other for some reason but all is overcome with a simple kiss that takes them to a level of passion they've never felt before.
I read "The Rancher Takes a Bride" by Brenda Minton and "The Single Dad finds a Wife" by Felicia Manson so I can only tell you what I think about those two. Let's start with "The Rancher Takes a Bride".
This is quite possibly one of the lamest romances novels ever written. Both of the main characters have things they want to hide (par for the romance novel course) but it felt like every single page was saying the same thing. You can skip a couple pages at a time and still know what's going on because there's zero plot. There's the dialog off of half the pages.
He says, "We need to talk."
She says, "I can't handle what's happening."
He says, "We'll figure it out together."
She says, "We can't be together." (because of aforementioned hidden secrets)
Somewhere in the exchange a gentle kiss is given and then they both go away frustrated.
Repeat ad nauseum.
"The Single Dad Finds a Wife" was better. While the plot wasn't exactly believable, not that we care about that sort of thing in a romance novel, at least there was a quasi-plot. Don't let the less than creative title scare you away. This book was sweet and held a few slight surprises. Alright, 'surprises' might be too big of a word. But for this genre, the author made "The Single Dad Finds a Wife" as intriguing as it comes.
