5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, Sep 13 2004
By Lea Ladehoff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Every Storm (Paperback)
As a huge Lori Wick fan, I couldn't wait for her next book to come out! I just got it in the mail and had to read it right away!

I've read some reviews of her other books and it saddens me a little. I hope that negative reviews don't keep people from reading her books. I personally love the "girl meets boy, struggles with faith, then falls in love" type stories. I read Lori's books to escape the harsh reality of what is now a world in turmoil. Is is such a bad thing to want to dream of a perfect place?

I would highly recommend this book to Lori Wick fans and new readers alike. It brought tears to my eyes more than once!

I love the scripture referances and have gone to my Bible on more than one occasion to continue with a verse I read in one of her books.

Keep writing Lori, I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not great., Jan 3 2005
By Vicki Williamson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Every Storm (Paperback)
First, let me say that I am normally a huge Lori Wick fan, however, I must add that I was terribly disappointed in this book. I felt as if she must've wrote this book in a few days because of the way it was thrown together. There are so many holes in the storyline such as in one chapter Josie and Lorri were boarding there plane and getting comfortable. The next chapter jumps ahead 6 weeks without any warning with Rigg and his crew rescuing Lorri. I was also a bit disheartened as I felt the blurb on the back cover was nothing short of misleading and deceitful. The blurb gives the impression that most of the story takes place on the island, but that is not the case. The island part is only in it for about 13 pages. In all, Lorri spends 5 days in the company of Rigg before he safely delivers her to her grandfather and then they don't see each other again for close to a year. When they do see each other again it is in California and that is where the story technically begins.

The book was very slow-paced and uneventful. The storyline really could've [and should've] been developed so much more, especially with the whole island part. Let me say again that I am normally a huge fan of Lori Wick's and if you want to read something good of hers I'd suggest you read The Yellow Rose Trilogy or The Kensington Chronicles as they really show her talent as a Christian writer. If you are a fan of Christian romances that take place during WWII then I highly recommend "For All Times" by Leigh Ann Roberts. That book will keep you sitting at the edge of your seat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Balanced sentiment, Aug 24 2004
By Jessica - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Every Storm (Paperback)
I enjoyed Lori Wick's trip back to the 1940s. This is a sweet story of how real-life emotions of grief and love can get tangled up and keep life from being a fairy tale -- but that life still can deliver a storybook ending. Sure, the story is highly sentimental, but it comes with helpings of adventure and humor, too.

Watching Rigg and Lorri develop a relationship from the time she crashed on a deserted island to when they discovered some common local ties is fun. The Max and Johnny subplot is almost odd in its careful development, but it keeps the book from having a flat cast of supporting characters. All along the way, the story is a good reminder that God works for good in every event of our lives, and that he's working toward a whole story.

If you've read Wick's series, The Californians, the setting for the book and the name Donovan Riggs will be familiar to you. This book stands on its own, but for Wick's longtime readers, the little bits might be something of a prize along the way.
