Twice Loved by Lori Copeland

I have to apologize... I've had some computer trouble and it's taken a while to catch up...

I have really loved Lori Copeland's books in the past for the most part. The premise of this novel is great, but the execution just doesn't have any umph, and I seriously was not impressed with this latest offering. It seems so contrived and forced. Her prose normally flows in and around her characters who usually act and react naturally. In this novel, she was not listening to her characters and they seem wooden and uncharacteristic.

If you've never read a Lori Copeland book before, then this won't be a disappointment. If you have, then just pass this one by.




This week, the

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Lori began her writing career in 1982, writing for the secular book market. In 1995 after many years of writing, Lori sensed that God was calling her to use her gift of writing to honor Him.

and Bluebonnet Belle.

ABOUT THE BOOK



Texas, 1865 Willow Madison and her friends, Copper and Audrey taught school in neighboring Texas communities until the Yankees rode into the area and burned them out. In the midst of fear and chaos, survivors banded together to fight for what remained of their homes. Then word reached the people that the terrible war was over.

Now penniless but still hopeful, Willow vows she will take care of her friends, Copper and Audrey, and her ailing uncle, in Thunder Ridge, Texas, even if it means having to marry wealthy Silas Sterling, a man thirty years her senior. But standing in her way is handsome sawmill owner Tucker Gray, with his enticing eyes and infuriating headstrong manner—the man Willow cannot get out of her head . . . or her heart. Even though her friends beg her not to give up her dream of happiness, Willow is determined to do the right thing for those who are dearest to her. But which path does God want Willow to take: a life of duty and commitment . . . or a life of everlasting love?
