I had heard so much about EZ that I rushed out to buy this book.  I was really disappointed by this book.  I expected to find information as a beginning knitter, but this book seemed to be geared towards knitters who are more experienced.
I do like the homey style and the fact that Elizabeth Zimmermann was a knitting enthusiast, but this is a book that should be added to the knitter's library later on, once technique and method has been established.

This one just wasn't my cup of tea. It's a very laid back slow paced story much like the city of Charleston where the story takes place. The writing is very good and the story had promise but the pace was just too slow to keep my interest. Others will probably enjoy this one, it simply didn't fit my taste.

I didn't like this one as well as the some of the other romance novels I've read.  It just seemed somewhat thrown together.

This was not my favorite by Tarah Benner.  Her writing is great, characters are well written, I just didn't love the story.

I picked up this book since I have always enjoyed reading about this time in history.  I have read many of the nonfiction book about the Murphys and Villa America.  My advice is to read those books and skip this one.  I am normally a fast reader but I did struggle to finish this one.  Not one of my favorites

It (the story) just wasn't my cup of tea.  I may buy another of her books, but I will look carefully at the synopsis before I do so.

I really do like Lincoln Rhyme stories by Jeffery Deaver.  This one just went on too long and was hard to get into.  Magic was at the heart of the storyline and sometimes descriptions were vivid and sometimes just clouded by confusion.  I never really got into the story, I didn't care for the main character and then find that he wasn't the pivotal villain after all.  I can't put my finger on why I didn't care for this novel, but, I know something isn't right when I don't want to add the book to my collection.  I cherish books I have read, and even if I don't re-read them, I know that I can.  This book will go to Goodwill and I hope the next book I read will get me back on the Lincoln Rhyme track of enthusiasm.

For some reason I had a hard time reading this book and I really can't say why. I think maybe there were just too many trippy moments in this book. I typically like books about the supernatural but this one, not so much. There was a weird flow to the book as I was reading it, for me the story did not seamlessly flow together like so many other supernatural books I have read it felt choppy and awkward. The characters were ok but I never connected with any of them like I often do in books. I didn't hate the book but at the same time there several moments where I almost just quit reading the book without much worry about the end. There were times that I would just graze over a page just to pull out enough information to keep me moving through the book. This is not one of those books I will revisit to read again, once was enough for me. I am sure it is just me and my particular taste in books, I am sure there are others out there who will love and did love this book, I am just not one of them.

I follow this author, she is really one of my favorites. Nevertheless, I did not care for this particular book.

I didn't care for this one as much as the authors other novels. I didn't care for the politics. On the other hand, the plot was fast and I wanted to find out what happened to the main characters son. Definitely some complex relationships. Overall I probably won't read it again. If you're new to Lindemuth, maybe read one of his other books first.

I love this series but this book was a miss for me. It had a lot of drag and the action/angst just wasn't felt. It was by no means horrible, just not my favorite.

I didn't get very far with this one.  I was close to agreeing with the one star reviews but not quite.  I love mail-order bride stories.  This is a first to find a drunk at the other end and probably a crooked sheriff.  I could understand the having no choice feeling but then when Jack comes along and is willing to help her she runs from him.  Don't get that. Also didn't understand why Frank only tried to rape her at night.  Seems like with the sun up she was safe.  Really?

I did quit reading right before the wedding.  I went back to read reviews to see how others reacted to the storyline.  I couldn't quite agree with "cute", etc.  It just seemed sad to me.  I'm sure she winds up with Jack and he probably has to arrest Frank.  I just found that I really didn't care!  so, I quit reading.  3 stars may be a bit high for me but it was "OK" and others seemed to like it so maybe it was just me.  Not my cup of tea.

I didn't find this nearly as good as I found all of her other books. It was a little confusing in the characters are a little weird acting in this book.

While I did like this book, it was not my favorite. It did seem a bit far fetched at times.

I've read a few of the books by Bette Lee Crosby and I have really enjoyed them but this one was not one of my favorites.  It was written as if "Cupid" was telling the story.  It shows the reaction when a widowed parent wants to marry again and his grown child/children are not ready for it.  Guess I just didn't care for the storyline although I will keep reading books written by Bette Crosby because I think she is a great story teller.

The book was ok and It was very predictable.
I have read other books in this series, but this book is not one of my favorites.
