Home Fires

Summary: The feeling of a real family is wonderful!
Review: Terry Redding was a single mother with a sick child and no job. She had lots of skills and that was really her problem. Everywhere she went she was overqualified.

She walks into Holden-McNeil Heathcare and gets the same answer: Your overqualifed! Terry faints for lack of eating. Mark Holden then takes her home and after meeting her daughter Makeda offers her a job as his live-in housekeeper. Terry couldn't refuse, because she needed the money and God help her if Makeda had to go to the hospital. She agrees, but Terry had to tell Mark she can't cook. Terry's wayward ex-husband pops up from time to time and bullies her into giving him money.

Mark Holden didn't believe in marriage. His marriage to his ex-wife Marlene ended when he found out she was having an affair and left him and their little daughter Yvette behind. He doesn't understand why he is so attracted to Terry Redding. She is not like the women he is usually attracted to.

The title of this book says it all Home Fires. Terry taught Mark's daughter accept affection and Mark gave Terry's daughter the attention a father would give to his daughter. They made a happy family. It also shows what can happen when that happy family is invaded for any reason. It was a good book, no drama or suspense, but just a good book.

Summary: Home Fires was OK
Review: This is a true version of the old romance novels. It was just a story nothing really exciting but is was good. There was no mystery or suspense like you find in the novels of today.

I did get mad because I could not believe that Terry let her no good ex-husband take money from her and he did not even support there child. And Mark's ex-wife would let her child suffer because she did not get what she wanted.

It makes you wonder if there are situations like this that exist. I know they do.

Summary: Weak!
Review: This was weak! There was basically no story line. Everything just conveniently fell into place! If this guy was so wealthy and supplied an apartment for mother and child, why would it be necessary for Terry's child to share a room with Mark's daughter? And bunk beds! C'mon -- I would expect this little girl to have her own suite of rooms or something. I can't even go on -- this was a waste of my time. I've read some of this author's work before and I probably will again. However, I will definitely check out a few reviews and thoroughly skim the book before I purchase it. I'm glad I got this one for a buck in the "Used Books" section.
