Making Waves - Lorna Seilstad

-


Are you a fan of the christian fiction genre ? I am and something that I have to praise it on lately is that all their book covers are starting to improve and come out quite eye-catching. Today's book had a twist of events, ones that I didn't see headed my way.


                                                                        Making Waves: A Novel (Lake Manawa Summers)

                                         Review : Making Waves - Lorna Seilstad - September 2010

It's the year 1895 and Marguerite Westing is courting someone who is or has to be the worst type of boyfriend in the world. Even as I was reading the book , I was like poor Marguerite as the guy Roger Gordon seems to only want to talk about himself and is so self-absorbed and when going out for Ice-cream , what type of guy orders plain Vanilla ice-cream with no addings. Whereas Marguerite was outgoing, outspoken and quite vivacious - the two did not seem ideally matched. When Marguerite's dad Edward announces that the family are going to spend the summer at the Lake Manawa , Marguerite is over the moon as this means simply = no Roger. Unfortunately for Marguerite , she is about to see a lot more of Roger as her mother informs him of their stay at the lake. It is here on the Lake that Marguerite meets another guy, this one so suited to her -it seems like destiny has bought them together or as we are about to discover it could even be God's Will. However, fate is going to shuffle their cards and throw them both into turmoil as we discover a side to Roger , so evil that he will go to lengths to have Marguerite for his wife even put her family into a penniless situation . Will Marguerite follow her head to save her family and marry Roger and live an unhappy and miserable marriage /life or will she follow her heart and be with Trip - even though the consequences could damage her family's reputation?
Making Waves by Lorna Seilstad is the perfect example of a lakeside Summer Romance in the 1890's. The place where the novel is set is a real place and was once a long, long , long time ago exactly how the author described it.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
