This book was the result of my search for a novel that ends mostly well without being predictable and trite. At least somewhat literary but with a touch of romance. And clean without being overtly prudish. Tastey and tasteful but not empty calories. I was searching for a warm-bittersweet-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookie of a book.
The search is still mostly on. I can't just read Pride and Prejudice and These is my Words over and over can I?
That's not to say I don't recommen More...

Tiger Lillie is a Lisa Samson novel about some very quirky characters. The main two are sisters, Lillie and Tacy. Lillie is single, and is in business as an extreme wedding planner--the kind of person that people with too much money hire to put on a big show. Tacy married young, to a charming handsome and controlling man. Other characters include the gay best friend, a bridezilla, a blind Episcopalian priest and co-workers of various ilks.

A very atypical book. I thought it was cooler the second time I read it because the first time it took me a while to catch on and I was confused.

This book is a little stilted and awkward, but it contains some beautiful jewels of wisdom! I want to read more by this author.

Overall this was a pretty good book. I liked the story of the main character's sister much better than the main character, Lillie. It didn't quite end the way I had expected, but it was good. The main character had been single forever because of a big ordeal with a former fiancee. Then out of the blue this rock star guy falls in love with her in about 2 days--a little over the edge of reality, in my opinion.

i really liked this book. it's about two sisters, goes back and forth between the two telling their story. it's sad,funny and suspenceful. lisa samson is becoming one of my favorite authors, she is a christian author and deals with real life problems. her characters grow spiritually by going through tough situations.

My first book by this author. I felt at the end of this book like I still had a lot of questions - many things unanswered. Quite a few extreme characters. Can't say I would recommend it...

I could not put this down! This is tied with Songbird as my favorite Lisa Samson book. The romance was so sweet, and again, the characters were Christian, but not perfect.

Lisa Samson is my favorite author of Christian fiction and this is one of my favorite books. The characters are colorful and *real*.

i met lisa and her family at a conference before i read her books. her stories are almost as fun as she is.

Great characters, and I was especially impressed that Samson wasn't afraid to take on a gay Christian character.
