Tall, Dark, And Determined (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

TALL,DARK,AND DETERMINED by Kelly Eileen Hake is an interesting inspirational historical romance set in Hope Falls. It is book 2 of the "Husbands For Hire",while it can be read as a stand alone, you really need to read book 1 first in order to understand the story better. See "Rugged and Relentless". "Tall, Dark, and Determined" is the story of Lacey Lyman and Chase Dunstan. Lacey is one of the women who owns Hope Falls and is one of the two women left looking for a husband.She is a chatter-box,when nervous,her brother owned the mine and was in a mining accident. While,Chase poses as a possible husband,and a hunter,he is the friend of one of the other women's fiance. He is really on the hunt to find out why the Hope Falls mine collapsed and his sister's husband was killed. Believing Lacey's brother may have had something to do with the collapse,he finds Lacey is more than she appears. "Tall,Dark, and Determined" is a story of love,forgiveness,determination,longing,danger,and faith. Received for an honest review from Net Galley and the publisher. Details can be found at Barbour Publishing and My Book Addiction and More/My Book Addiction Reviews.RATING: 4HEAT RATING: SweetREVIEWED BY: AprilR,My Book Addiction and More/My Book Addiction Reviews Let it be said I am very tenacious when it comes to reading books. The do not have to grab me within the first page or the first chapter. However, if by chapter 5 I'm still completely lost then we have a problem. Unfortunately this book left me completely befuddled. I honestly haven't finished it yet and I'm not sure I will. I know Hake to be a decent author and aside from the corny title I was looking forward to reading this book. However, after five chapters I was more confused than ever. Because this was a digital copy I kept assuming whole chapters hadn't transferred properly. I even went online at midnight one night to see if I was missing something, but to no avail. Tall, Dark and Determined is the second story in the Husbands for Hire series by award winning author Kelly Eileen Hake. Perhaps if I had read book 1 I wouldn’t have felt so lost throughout Lacey Lyman’s story. She and her four friends are seeking to rebuild Hope Falls after the mine collapsed, which nearly killed her brother. They post an ad for husbands who can help turn the town into a successful sawmill. The men arrive by the dozens, but none of them catch talkative and independent Lacey’s eye. The story goes on but to where and how I don't know and I'm not sure I ever care to. Certain things irritate me greatly and having and author forget that her readers don't live inside her head with the characters is one of them. I will read more from Hake in the future with the hopes that she finds her way back to weaving a readable and intriguing story. Thank you to Netgalley and Barbour Publishing for providing me with a free digital copy in exchange for me honest review.
