Summary: Overall Average Series
Review: Putting the brief profanity and questionable lifestyles of her characters aside, Jane Peart is a talented writer, and gifted.

Summary: Brides of Montclair Series
Review: I am writing this review in answer to someone saying that one of Jane Peart's books has profanity in it. I also wanted to warn readers that though Jane Peart is a very good, talented writer, most of her Brides Of Montclair Books incorporate adultery, dancing, and drinking--making it a part of the heroines' lives, when most of us Bible-believing christians are against such things and should be if we truly want to follow God's word.
Otherwise, I think that Jane Peart is gifted and needs to incorporate more righteous living in her books.

Summary: Disgusted that profanity was used in a Christian book!
Review: I was very disappointed that profanity was used in the second book, The Pledge on pg. 351 and 378. That is totally uncalled for in a Christian book. One of the reasons I buy Christian books is to avoid profanity. I also found both book one and two to be sorely lacking in Biblical truth and application. Because of profanity in second book I will not read the last book in that series and am going to return the book expecting a full refund. I also will not recommend this author to any of my friends and will discourage the book store from continueing to carry Jane Peart's books.

Summary: Brides of Montclair Series
Review: The first Christian fiction book I ever read was Yankee Bride, by Jane Peart. Since then I have read all except one of the American Bride series by Mrs. Peart.

This is a wonderful series, but Yankee Bride continues to be my favorite. In an updated release of the series, Yankee Bride was incorporated with Rebel Bride. If you can purchase an old copy of both, where they are not combined, I recommend that you do.

The entire series weaves interesting characters and moral values. But the books do not preach. In other words, the positive expressions of faith come out of the stories themselves.

Meet Rose Meredith Montrose in Yankee Bride. You will love her. And then you will want to read about the brides of Montclair before her and after her.
