A good read,
By Mom2Three (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matter Of Character (Paperback)
It was with some hesitation that I asked for a review copy from the publisher and agreed to review the third book in the "Sisters of Bethlehem Springs" series by Robin Lee Hatcher. After all, I hadn't read the first two novels and it's sometimes a very unsatisfying read when you have missed out on too many details from previous stories. "A Matter of Character" was a pleasant surprise. A suspenseful prologue and opening chapter drew me right into the action and made me want to read more. Subsequent chapters were filled with suspense, moral dilemmas and a little romance, a recipe that is sure to satisfy most readers. All in all it was a good read. The novel may be set in 1918 and Daphne McKinley may be quite different from today's readers, but the questions she faces in this novel are just as relevant today. Will I go back and read the rest of the series? I may just have to do that. One thing is for sure, I have not yet been disappointed by Hatcher's novels!

Loved it!,
By Christina Banks "Stina Rose" (Deep River, ON Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Matter Of Character (Paperback)
Daphne McKinley has a secret. The heiress of a small fortune writes dime novels loosely based on local lore. Her imagination is captivated by tales of the notorious villain named Rawhide Rick. No one in her small town of Bethlehem Springs knows that the novelist D.B. Morgan is actually Daphne, and she wants to keep it that way. But when a strange newspaperman comes to town looking for D.B. Morgan, it seems that the secret is out of the bag. A search for the truth ensues. But can the loving and generous grandfather that Joshua remembers be the same man that Daphne depicts in her novels?A Matter of Character is the third book in Hatcher's The Sisters of Bethlehem Springs series. I really enjoyed the storyline with its many twists and turns. Hatcher isn't afraid to put her characters in a tough place, and then make things even harder for them. This was a fun read, and I'm looking forward to adding more of Robin Lee Hatcher's works to my library. (I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of review.)

Simply Sweet,
By B.Morgan "Blake Morgan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Matter Of Character (Paperback)
I have read a couple of books recently about gals who wrote dime novels, and loved them! So, when I saw that this book dealt with that theme, I decided to give it a whirl, and I love it....it was a charming story.

Surprisingly good!,
By D. J. Malone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Matter Of Character (Paperback)
I really enjoyed getting to know the main character Daphne McKinley. Being an author she was a woman after my own heart. However, she writes dime novels, which were looked upon as frivolous writing - not to be taken seriously. The nemesis in her books is loosely based on a character named Rawhide Rick. Because Daphne comes from a family of wealth she does not want anyone to know what she does in her spare time. So she holds this secret close to her heart.Joshua Crawford finds out that the books written by D. B. Morgan aka Daphne, have portrayed his grandfather, Richard Terrell,(Rawhide Rick) in a not so favorable light. He sets out to find this D. B. Morgan and is determined to make him write a retraction. You can imagine his surprise when he finds out that the real author is Daphne. He is even more surprised to learn that his grandfather has a past that he did not know about - this was before Richard Terrell became a Christian. Daphne and Joshua find that they both have to re-evaluate what is important to them in their lives. In the meantime they begin to have feelings for each other and this seems to go well until- Joshua's fiancée' enters the picture. I really enjoyed reading this book even though it was not my favorite genre. This is the third book in the series, but was great as a stand alone book. I would love to go back and read the first two. Looks like I found a new author to read! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

One of my favorites,
By Susan E. Aken - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Matter Of Character (Paperback)
This is one of my favorites of Robin's books. I loved this book! I think Daphne is my favorite character of hers. Robin's characters are so real. Daphne faces a dilemma and has to make some tough decisions about truth and honesty. I really enjoy the historical details Robin includes in her books. You really get a feel for the time period. This is the third book in a very satisfying series about three women of Bethlehem Springs. All strong,confident women who are brave enough to take on non-traditional roles. Daphne is such a fun character. There is one scene that is so funny but I can't really share the details without spoiling it. You will just have to read it for yourself. I am looking forward to re-reading the series.
