Sixty Acres and a Bride is a stories I as a reader finds great pleasure is spending time with. And at the close of such a novel, Im a bit sorry to see it come to an end. I adore Rosa. She is so earnest and tries so hard, but so often it backfires on her. It was comical and yet I had to feel a bit sad for her, trying to learn to live in a foreign culture from her native Mexico. Shes a character one cant help but love, because her yearnings and love for life is so infectious. I wanted to join theThe beginning of this book was a mess. The way this author writes the new characters and introduces people is just so confusing for me. I had to go back and look to make sure this was not a second book in a series because that is how it felt. There were so many places where I had to go back and reread the first couple chapters. I thought maybe I didn't get some of the book downloaded, but it is all there. I really didn't like the prologue at the beginning either. That gave way too much away and
Regina Jennings has captured something wonderful with her historical romance debut. Characters full of culture and family values dance off the page to warm the reader's heart. I adored the hard-working Rosa as she battled against predjudice and difficult circumstances to try to make a home for herself and her mother-in-law in a new land. Her tomboy athleticism paired wonderfully with her innocent femininity. And Weston made the perfect hero for her with his protective nature and his dedication
GENRE: Inspirational romanceSETTING: 19th century, Caldwell County, TexasA BOOK THAT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE READING SAYS, I was never loved. Yes I once loved but it was my fault. No, it is all my fault. Im such a failure. I am lifes fault. I try to do what is right. Im not worthy because Im at fault. It is my entire fault. My fault is my fault. No one is guilty other than me. I spell the word F-A-U-L_T. This is life that surrounded the two central characters and what he thought of himself and
First posted on my blog, Legacy of a Writer.I admit that when I reached the end of Sixty Acres and a Bride I sighedbecause I wasnt ready to leave these characters! So many things about this debut book by Regina Jennings really drew me in.I really liked the Mexican heroine! And the fact that Rosa is so ignorant of the way a proper lady should act. It made for quite a few humorous moments! Rosa was so sweet natured and hard-working, you cant help but love her. Just like Ruth, she is filled with an
I wanted to like this book because I had heard amazing things about it, but it seemed slow to me, and I felt like I had read this style of story many times before. I didn't feel like there was much romance between the two leads, I felt like it was more about both Rosa and Weston overcoming the aftermath their disastrous first marriages.I thought there might be more about Rosa's Mexican heritage, but I felt like most of the book concentrated on the people of her new town trying to stomp out any
A bit too slow for me. I thought the setting would capture me, but I could not stay interested. The characters needed more fire. I would try the author again. Maybe it was just this book....
