Contemporary Fiction

The Dandelion Field by Kathryn Springer

Book Review

The Dandelion Field by Kathryn Springer was such a sweet story.  I knew from just reading the back of this book that I was going to love it and I wasn’t let down.  I have never read anything by this author and I was so glad I received this one to read.  I have found another author that I am going to add to my list of authors that I want to read other books by them.  In this book Gin’s daughter Raine gets pregnant as a teenager and you get to follow along as they deal with the situation of an unplanned teenage pregnancy.  I wasn’t a huge fan of Cody’s mom, Evie during most of the book but that is only because she see’s Raine as the only one who made a mistake and not her son as well.  This was a well rounded story and one I am glad I got to review.  I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read contemporary fiction books.

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze

Book Review

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze was interesting book to read.  At times I got bogged down in all the details that she had in the book but other times I was glad that she had all the detail that she did.  I loved all of the characters & the setting of this book and it made me want to check out the first two books in the series and see what happened in them.  That being said I understood most of what was going on so you don’t have to read them in order  but if are wanting to read all the books in the series than I would for sure suggest that you read them in order.  This book is also fast paced which is nice because it keeps you reading even at the parts where there could be less details used.  If you love suspense novels than I would for sure recommend this book to you.
