"Oh that looks good…added it to my TBR list"
the good thing about it is that it's only a few pages and it's free!
For O… Olive Branches Don't Grow On Trees…or…Out of Time(I really enjoyed this one)…or…Out of Control…or…Out of Date…or…One O'Clock Jump……good luck
I don't think I've ever read a book tagged "Christian Romance" and since Out of Control sounds good, can anyone tell me what can I expect from the book like this? What's the difference between Christian Romance and "normal" Contemporary Romance?
Christian romance deals with inspirational issues and are 'clean' books. An example: in The calling of Emily Evans Emily has the calling to go to a new place and start up a church. She is faced with many differemt attitudes on the idea when she reaches her destination. I enjoyed that one. You get hand holding, kissing…etc…Hope this helped.
By clean, I take it you mean no sex? I'm asking because not all sex is dirty, especially in romance...
By clean, I mean no explicit details… keep in mind that christian romance is a new genre for me and my statememt is what I have read so far.
Anna wrote: "By clean, I mean no explicit details… keep in mind that christian romance is a new genre for me and my statememt is what I have read so far."Oh, I see, Anna. So more completely about the emotional development and spiritual aspect to the plot, not so much on the physical? I've not read one yet...
It doesn't sound like the genre for me, but I'll read the book if I can fit it in any challenge, just to give it a try Does this book count for U? Caught Up in Us

No, but I think I'll go with it. I'm dragging my feet though. I loved the Bridgertons, the Bevelstokes were meh.... But I see LK gave it a 4½ and you gave it 4 so I'm keeping an open mind, maybe I'll love it.
I just loved it. But then, I'm pretty easy to please, as long as they don't use one of my RomanceLandia don't. LOL!

Shosho, somewhere in the threads, Lisa Kay has a list of the things she can't stand in romance novels, things that actually turn her off books. She named the list Romancelandia don'ts, or something similar...
HTH!
I'm stuck on P but only because I haven't been able to work any of my books for it into my other challenges yet.
