"She's Finally Found a Place to Call Home... How Far Will She Go to Save It?

Though facing eviction, Rosa falls in love with the countryside and the wonderful extended family who want only her best. They welcome her vivacious spirit and try to help her navigate puzzling American customs. She can't help but stand out, though, and her beauty captures attention.

Where some offer help with dangerous strings attached, only one man seems honorable. But when Weston Garner, still grieving his own lost love, is unprepared to give his heart, Rosa must decide to what lengths she will go to save her future. Read an excerpt: http://ow.ly/9sK2C. "

My Review:

I can admit to being reluctant to reading this book. I kept putting it off. I thought this was going to be the usual retelling of Ruth that so many others have done. However, this book was not a retelling. It was its own unique story. Although the character's did play out some scenes from the Ruth and Boaz Biblical narration, it was its own unique story.

Its originality flowed from the very first pages. Immediately, you were thrust upon an exciting scene. My mind raced with questions about how the character was forced upon this particular situation. This book was action packed. Slow reading was not an issue. So far so good, right.

Rosa was a mexican woman trying to fit in a white woman society. Her innocent mistakes added humor. Her wanting to fit in and her constant ridiculing made you feel compassion for her. Seeing how the characters had so many misunderstandings, when the reader knew what the characters really meant to communicate was comical.

At first, while reading this you felt very confused. There are so many questions in the beginning that make you wonder, but Regina ends the story question free. Not only for a debut novel, but for any type of book was this a very well written story. The characters experienced real life emotions, and dealt with real experiences. The sprinkling of the spanish words spiced the writing style. This was a very good collaboration of suspense, good romance, Biblical references, and some strong emotions. I would give this book a grand total of 5 out of 5 stars.

I received this book from Litfuse Publisher for free, in exchange for my honest review.
