"BORING!, April 14 2012
By K. Bennefield - Published on Amazon.com
It's always odd to me how an author of Christian romance can write a really good book and then turn around and write one that is sooooo boring. This was not a romance book, and not really a mystery. Just a story about developing projects in a town called Serenity Bay. Some of Lois Richer's books are excellent and some are not. Sorry I wasted my money. I skipped page after page on this one and was very disappointed.

Had mystery too!, April 1 2012
By M. Palmer "Michelle P." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: His Winter Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
Piper Langely has a lot of hurt inside. She's come back to Serenity Bay to start a new life. She wants to leave everything behind her and help make Serenity Bay a lively town once again. She's been hurt deeply by her father, is widowed, and has a loving brother. She expects to come in and do her job without any interference.
But there's a handsome, single mayor who has his own problems. After a bad relationship and problems in his past company, he moved to Serenity Bay to find some peace and quiet while building up his town. But he has trust issues and expects to be in on every single aspect of Piper's job. but Piper just doesn't work that way!
And then there's a bit of mystery. Someone has broken into Piper's house, buying up all the land around it, and sabotaging. She suspects it's her father, but doesn't know for sure...
I should have seen it coming, but by golly I didn't! Though the ending scene with the guilty is a bit fast and easily solved, it was still pretty good. The romance was sweet as well as we watch the couple try to teach the other about love, trust, and forgiveness.
