Journey to Love (Angels of Mercy #2) Reviews

  Melissa (Trying to Catch Up)

  If I could give this zero stars I would. Totally inappropriate for a Christian book--quite a bit of swearing, and the bride is WAY too young. I know, back in the day, people used to get married at 13. But I don't want to read about it because it turns my stomach. I don't want to picture my teenage daughter in this book. Terrible.

  These books actually should be called fantasy and not Christian fiction. There’s not very much actual biblical truth in the stories. On the other hand, there is a tremendous amount of mysticism and Catholic dogma. Stories would be totally a delight otherwise. I hope this author knows the difference between Christian and mysticism and will correct her self in the future.

  I loved the first book so much I immediately bought the Kindle version of the next book in the series.
  
  Within the first few chapters I tried to return it. Amazon denied the return, with no reason for the rejection. My response for wanting to return it was questionable content, which for me is language and sexual situations. Nothing like that was in book-one, except one "damned savages". But as it was only once, I let it go.
  
  In this one, the 16-yr-old girl (Christine), back from a ladies school where any kind of unseemly talk is reprimanded, suddenly uses language liberally. Granted, she's mad about something she has a right to be indignant about, but the author could have left off the swearing. But it didn’t stop there. That child continue to use language all the way through, and other characters chimed in as well.
  
  Plus, an addition I felt unnecessary was a newlywed couple frolicking within eyesight of the house, naked and "undulating in unison", and two characters in the house talking about it. What??? Why? Why put that in a book labeled Christian fiction?
  
  Then there’s the Catholic Cajun old woman who speaks to spirits, knows what’s in a person's mind and foresees the future for everyone. She looks witch-like, dresses like a gypsy, goes into trances and consults other sorts of medium, all in the name of Christ. Her "gift" is used for good, but she’s presented as almost satanic. Super creepy.
  
  The other main character, Tucker Trudeau, a photographer and son of the witch-like woman, years before had fallen in love with Christine when she was thirteen. She had stopped at his photography studio looking for the mother who ran off off with some Englishman. Her mother had abandoned her and her 8-year-old brother at a stage-coach stop. For many reasons Christine felt compelled to find her mother and bring her home.
  
  Because Christine and Tucker were writing back-and-forth to each other while she was at this academy for girls, the headmistress confiscated the letters. For three years Christine had never known she'd received replies to her letters. But in all that time, he wanted to find her and be with her.
  
  In this book at this time, she is 16-years-old. Tucker finds her to explain about the letters he realized she never got and about the curt telegram his mother sent her making Christine think he was rejecting her. The very next day they were sent off with his mother in a small caravan wagon, crossing the country in search of Christine's mother (again), who was by this time seen on a wanted poster. That’s inappropriate enough, but while traveling, his leaning down to kiss her sounding on the mouth in front of people often, and caressing her with inappropriate thoughts on both their parts, took it over the edge and into just-plain-wrong. Now mind you, this man is easily six or seven years older than her and he’d already mentioned to her adoptive father that he’ll have a hard time keeping his hands off of her because she’s so beautiful. But the adoptive father still allowed her to go on this trip with him. It just all seems so wrong.
  
  I’m so disappointed in this book that proclaiming Christ, having such a good story, but includes such objectionable material. And of course I’m disappointed Amazon wouldn’t take it back for any reason I tried.

  3.5 starts. This is a good follow up to book one which I adored. It is a book with a lot of character grown for Christine, but at the same time the love story is just plain weird at the beginning since she was so young when she met Tucker. It all worked out at the end though. Billy and Christine's mom is a piece of work!

  Ture love
  
  I love to read Charlotte Hubbard's books! She writes so well you can't put the book down until you finish. The story flows along with adventure and tears. Have a box of tissues at hand and enjoy as much as I have reading this series.

  Journey to Love (Angels of Mercy book 2)
  
  More adventurous and challenging than book 1. True love means different things, some good , some not so good. I liked the determination of the young lady to seek and find true love of mother, and the man.

  Fast read
  
  I was excited to read book 2 after book one was so amazing. It was fun following my old friends and making new one. However the story spent to much time on Christine's bad behavior. It went on waaaaay to long.

  Journey of Love continues the story of Patchwork Family. I enjoyed this book, it did have a couple of twists that I didn't for see. Like the first book in this series it is very emotional. I love the way the scriptures of the Bible are woven into the story line without being preachy. I am sure I will read the rest of the series as it gives comfort to the trying times we are living.

  Nana

  Determined to find her mother and bring her home.
  
  To go from a strong-willed teenager into a refined young lady with a quest to unite her family once again. A lot of heart breaking facts and a lifetime of love are the results.

  Charlotte Hubbard has a way with words
  
  This story is beautifully told and the characters come to life. Christine grows up before your eyes in the words on these pages.
