Book Review: The English Son

Before I begin I thought that I had reviewed this book before, but after re-reading it I realized that this was a different book. This book is the first of the Amish Millionaire series by Wanda and Jean Brunstetter. 
Joel Byler, in my opinion, was an impulsive man. He purchased an car which was going to keep him from buying a ring for Kristi Palmer, his fiancee. This has made him act differently to Kristi and this confuses her. 
Joel then goes to ask money of his father, who turns him down. He was going back home when there was an accident.
This book is an easy book to get through and has enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages.
The authors are masters at their trade and I felt this book reflects this.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: Lock, Stock and Over a Barrel

I enjoy the writing of Melody Carlson and this book has all of the qualities that I enjoy, except for one. I believe that the story left me hanging. I thought at first that, perhaps, not all the pages downloaded, but this was not the case.

The author does a great job of creating an interesting story line and she has a knack for helping build the characters so that there is a connection between the reader and the character. I also felt that the book kept moving nicely.

If the reader enjoys stories that are obviously part of a whole, they will not mind the ending. However, I feel if a reader is to pick up the second book they will be totally lost, just as I was frustrated by the ending of this one.
