Runaway Heart Reviews
-
I liked the religious undertones of the story, but I really was irritated with the main character. She was too whiny.
-
Good book
This wasn't what I expected. It is a good book. I did not want to stop reading. Good Clean Romance. -
I liked that this was a story about family. I loved the grandpa and his ornery, grumpy ways. I liked what we saw of Sonny and his wife, though it was such a small part at the start of the book. I like that the girl chose insert-name-here at the end.
However...I confess I skimmed over this book pretty much. It had a pretty interesting start, but somewhere in the seemingly endless narration that occurred for the most part, the book lost me. It's not that I hate narration--on the contrary, I love it. I guess the words felt a bit too dry and the dialogue a bit too winding. I feel like some parts were too jolted and lacked the fluidity if one scene sliding into another, especially when the narrative voice changed character heads. I felt that too much focus was placed on the main character's reflections on her childhood, and there were many times that I wished we had seen a lot more about the other characters, especially regarding the changes that some of them went through. -
Enjoyable read
I enjoyed this book. At times. I thought the storyline was a bit slow, but overall a good book.
Kyla grew up in a home where a mom went from one man to the next, so not a lot of stability. You see how this affects Kyla as a young woman in a serious relationship. Will grew up opposite of that, a very stable home.
Brandon is the "good neighbor" who is looking out for Kyla's grandfather. Can Kyla figure out who is the right man for her? Or will she settle to be comfortable, but not in love? -
This was a different romance, in that we don't experience the development of their love. The story is about Kyla's fear of committing to a man (or a job or anything else, for that matter). I thought her angst about her mother's dire warnings about men was a little overdone, but her spiritual growth was a positive.
-
Nice little book about a girl who is afraid of life long commitments because her mother was a flake and dropped marriages like something hot.
Running away to her grandfathers farm was a life altering experience for several people. -
chick lit at its best! this is a fun read but plenty of angst to keep you turninf the
