Melody Carlson is a Christian Literature author...which basically means God is mentioned without his name being taken in vain and characters may attend church. Recently, I have picked up some novels with the "Christian Literature" label but it has not affected my opinion of the book. I am not Christian or religious but believe in God and love learning about different faiths. As long as religious preaching does not take over the novel I will continue with these light quick reads.
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
LOCK, STOCK AND OVER A BARREL
(Dear Daphne: Book 1)
written by Melody Carlson
genre: christian literature, contemporary romance, fiction
3 STARS
Daphne's life in New York and working at The New York Times is not going the way she had first envisioned. Her best friend is married and having her first baby and looking for a new house. When Daphne's Aunt Dee dies she rushes home for the funeral. She soon discovers she has been left Aunt Dee's estate but it comes with conditions. These conditions must be met within the next year if she wishes to keep her new life back home.
This book is described as "Christian Literature" but isn't heavy on religion (or preachy) at all. I cannot describe too much about the novel as there is some surprises that might be revealed. I will say this is a light low action contemporary romance with light humour.
love,
kris
