Review: More Than Words Can Say

More Than Words Can Say by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quite a good story with a great premise that is fairly believable. I know our frontier women had a lot of gumption, and this book shows it.

The characterizations are very good. You get a feel for each character and they act within character. However, there are some modernisms that distract. You can tell this is the 2nd in a series because what happens in the first book is mentioned quite a lot. I didn't read the first one so I thought I was being fed quite a bit of backstory. Then I caught on. It isn't distracting and what happened in the first book doesn't build in the 2nd book. It's a stand-alone.

I think the only thing that would make this book better is if the main characters would quit rehashing their feelings and move along. Certainly, the reader doesn't need reminding every chapter. Cut some of that out, or at least think it in different way sheesh.

Above all that, though, it is a very good story and worthy of reading. I gave it 4 of 5 stars.
