A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Vicar's Daughter - Margaret Bennett

This is my Kindle Unlimited title for the month.  I was on the lookout for a new author when I saw this book.  The summary interested me and it was on the short side, listed at around 100 pages, so I picked it up.

Grace comes across the drunk Earl of Hatton and brings him back to the vicarage.  They form a friendship, and that's as far as I got.

By the 22% mark, I wondered what I was reading.  This title is listed under Christian fiction, but I'm not sure why.  First, when Grace comes across Trent, he proceeds to forcibly kiss her, including mentions of tongue.  Grace stops the kiss, but her feelings are stirred.  There was just too much sexual undertones in there.  When I quit there were no less than three references to Grace's backside among other things.  There's also some mild language in there.

Between that and the author's writing style, I had to put this one down.  I'm disappointed, because I was looking forward to discovering a new author.  Giving bad reviews isn't something I like to do, but I can't pretend I liked it.  I won't count this as a new author for my 2016 challenge since I didn't get very far.  Sadly, this one was a miss for me.
