Sam's Reading: A Work in Progress

New to this...

Keepsake

Keepsake - Sarina Bowen There was nothing wrong with this book, but for me, there was nothing particularly right about it either. I didn't find it particularly romantic but I did find it somewhat heart-warming. It was sweet, but it was kind of - meh - boring for me.

I don't think it would be for everyone. Zach is your sweet virgin hero, and he's honest and noble and...well...have I mentioned how these heroes work for me? They don't. Zach was still close, to be honest, because patience and warmth are sexy traits, but it was his voice. It vacillated between the "ohgeegollyshucks," and more modern/typical. And he was deeply Christian. That's not a problem per se, but it doesn't really enhance my enjoyment of the book to read scripture here and there from the hero's perspective. As far as heroes go, I'd strictly friend-zone Zach and probably try to avoid him generally. So there's that.

Lark was cool, but she was going through some stuff and so her development and character was largely built on that. It was hard to get a sense of her for a while due to that, but she was definitely the more interesting of the main characters.

I've been reading this forever, so obviously there was not a real hook into the story for me...And the worst part as that I thought it would mean I was done with the series-or I might have DNF'ed. Turns out there's a fourth book. Oh, that feeling when you think you've wrapped a series but no.

That's all I got.
