I do enjoy most of Macomber's books. I like clean books: no swearing, no sex. I want to be entertained and enlightened (to a certain degree) and these books do that.

A Series Romance Keeper
Jun 15 2012
By Lynn
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
First and foremost this is a series romance written in the the early eighties. So when I give it a 5 star rating I am keeping that information in mind. I am an avid reader of all kinds of romance and have been reading series romance for decades (think Betty Neels). When I first read this book I knew I was reading a future star author. I have and have read all of Debbie M. series romances. Out of all of them, this is probably one of the ones I reread on a regular basis. Being raised with a sibling that is severely hearing impaired, I love to read about heroes and heroines that have a handicap. And back in the early eighties there weren't a lot of authors writing where the main character was handicapped(enter Catherine Anderson in the 1990's). I thought Debbie wrote beautifully about the inner turmoil that Rand had with being blind. Her secondary characters are memorable (you gotta love the father!) and add texture to the story.
I love reading series romances and this is definitely a keeper. If you were to read this book and compare it to Debbie's recent full length books then you miss the beauty of this book and miss seeing the beauty of Debbie's journey as a writer.

One of the Worst Books I've Ever Read
Jan 3 2012
By Reader101
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm a Debbie Macomber fan, so I was surprised at how poorly written this book was. The characters -- particularly the male protagonist ("Rand Prescott" -- the name itself gives you some idea of how shallow and trite the writing is) are unsympathetic and, in "Rand's" case, thoroughly unlikeable. The plot is unbelievable to the point of being laughable at times, and the writing so formulaic that it seems to have been written in a few weeks, at best. Worst of all, the book is almost demeaning to women, as "Rand's" outrageously chauvanistic and downright cruel behavior towards "Karen" is meekly accepted and rationalized. Debbie Macomber wrote this in 1983, nearly 30 years ago, so this was obviously an early attempt. It's great to see how much her writing has improved over the years and how successful she's become.

Disappointed!

The sexual component of this story was stronger than in other books of Ms. Macomber's that I have read. It surprised and disappointed me because I felt I could trust her books. I probably will not buy anymore.
