Woman of Grace Brides of Culdee Creek Book 2 Kathleen Morgan 9780800757274 Books

I'm admittedly very picky with the ending of my books. I had hoped the ending to this one would be worthy considering the reviews. Awww... I apparently expect too much quality in what I pay for and don't just accept lazy writing........

I'm all for forgiveness and redemption in fact I was waiting for that in the book but to have him utter the words that he loved her and gave himself to Christ was all it took for her to trust him after all the abusive words he constantly through at her was a bit too easy...and a very lazy ending. I think it's silly writers have the woman always think to themselves how they know the man will never love them and that they are tired of the constant abuse and that they won't accept it any longer but then once the man says the magic words they want to hear they turn to jelly and lose their smarts and blindly accept them. Then the man just miraculously does a turnaround in behavior and comes the charming hero at the EPILOGUE of the story. For over 400 pages of the kindle story he's a complete jerk and then the last ONE page of the story he's the amazing hero. Awwww how sweeeeeeeeeeet. Why bother wasting space in a book of the woman's musings when THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING????????? Just don't bother with it since it will never amount to anything in the story.

Like I said I'm glad he got redemption but come on even Christ doesn't say there won't be consequences and there should've been more consequence for his bad behavior towards her that never ever seemed to be resolved tot he very end. He didn't even have to fight for her!!!!!!!

Writers needs to stop being so lazy when it comes to the ending of their books and actually make the ending worthy of the rest of the entire book. The author puts more effort on keeping the couple apart and never bothers to put any of that effort to the reunion.

Woman of Grace Brides of Culdee Creek Book 2 Kathleen Morgan 9780800757274 Books Reviews

As with any of Kathleen Morgan's books, I expect an enjoyable story more than some great work of fiction. As a result this book was exactly what I expected - A heart-warming story with characters you connect with and get to watch grow and develop. )

I enjoyed watching continuing involvement of the characters from the previous book in the series. As with the first book in the series, the Christian elements read more like a sermon at some points. I'd have preferred to see them done with a bit more finesse.

I found some of the character reactions to be tiresome and unbelievable at times, which dampened my enjoyment, but overall I liked it and will undoubtedly read it again, though it's not a favorite.
I loved this book too. I always felt that during the 1800s that people were too harsh on women who worked in saloons. Granted, I wouldn't want to work that kind of work, but I always felt that God wouldn't judge too harshly if these women didn't know God's love. But I really love how Hannah changed her entire life around and worked hard to make a better world for herself and her son. I also felt that Devlin should have been more understanding of Hannah's plight even though he didn't quite realize that he was just at fault as Hannah was. I always felt compassion for those who suffered because of what they did in order to survive. So I really love this book.
Considering the subject matter of the book, I thought the author did a really good job in keeping it clean and wholesome. You couldn't help but love Hannah and feel sorry for Devlin. Throughout the book, I could see the two falling in love.

I thought the twist at the end was excellent as well. Devlin came to save Hannah, but...well, you'll just have to read it to see!

Though some thought these first two books were a lot alike, I tended to disagree. Connor had a lot more hatred to overcome and was just a really rough and tough guy. I saw Devlin as ore of a teddy bear who'd made a few mistakes. He came around a lot faster than Connor did. In fact, reading this second book and how nice Connor was was almost frightening. He'd done a 360 degree turn. I think Ms. Morgan should have left him a bit rough...
For what its worth the Brides of Culdee Creek is the first complete series that I have read. That says a lot because I devour so many books and, believe you me, there are many series where I stop at Book 1 even though I may profess to enjoy the book. For me its hard to dive into a book two only to be disappointed and I often doubt that the author can recreate the magic of the first book.
Well for some reason I exercised a little faith with this series and boy was I happy. Woman of Grace which is Book 2 in the series was as different, unique and special as Book 1. (Although I must say that Abby and Connor's story will forever hold a special place in my heart)

After reading Francine River's Redeeming Love I truly didn't know if any other story about the redemption of a prostitute would have been quite as engaging. Yet for it all Kathleen Morgan pulls it off expertly and while Hannah does bear a few similarities to Francine's Angel, the stories are quite different.

STORY SYNOPSIS
Abby and Connor from Book 1 are happily married and expecting a baby. Due to a strange twist of fate Devlin is forced to depend on Hannah, the "whore" who he slept with during a rocky part of his marriage. Devlin uses every opportunity he gets to castigate Hannah for when he sees her, his transgression is ever before him and while his truly beautiful wife may have accepted that he was unfaithful there is no way that she needs to know that Hannah was the specific prostitute he slept with. Hannah loves and cares for Ella (Devlin's wife) and their kids and when Ella falls ill and Abby is unable to step in due to her own pregnancy, Hannah offers her aid.

There is also the issue of Evan, Connor's son, who some people think Hannah is stringing along. Marrying the very willing Evan would make life very stable for Hannah for as Evan's wife she would inherit Culdee Creek and financial security for her and her baby boy would be sure.
Forgiveness, humility and courage are major themes in this fantastic book as an unlikely but truly genuine romance develops between a couple of the main characters. Book 2 is truly worth a read!

P.S. While reading Book 2 go ahead and get Book 3 and Book 4. I have and their reviews are posted as well)
