Love at Any Cost Review!!!


*Love at Any Cost by Julie Lessman






Book Description:
Jilted by a fortune hunter, cowgirl Cassidy McClare is a spunky Texas oil heiress without a fortune who would just as soon hogtie a man as look at him. Hoping a summer visit with her wealthy cousins in San Francisco will help her forget her heartache, Cassidy travels west. But no sooner is she settled in beautiful California than Jamie McKenna, a handsome pauper looking to marry well, captures her heart. When Jamie discovers the woman he loves is poorer than he is, Cassidy finds herself bucked by love a second time. Will Jamie discover that money can't buy love after all? And can Cassidy ever learn to fully trust her heart to a man?



My Opinion:
Love at any cost is really good! It starts with a bang and while I felt falls into a bit of a lull it picks right back up and runs on. One of the things I love about Julie's writing is that when she sets up a scene she goes right into that scene with no hum hawing through weeks with the characters. If she says there's going to be a party scene the the next paragraph begins that scene. LOVE IT!!! I did feel that it got a little repetitive with the back and forth of she loves me she loves me not, but it went with the story and I don't know but it could have happened in real life. :) (I do have an issues with He and Hims not being capitalized when it comes to referring to God, but that is one of my own things and I digress) :) The characters are wonderful and I love even the what could be called the sub plot. Filled with lovable quirky people and even a parrot! :) San Francisco is a place I have wanted to visit but now I wish I could have visited in 1902. With all the awesome "sites" and places described I think it was GREAT! From the blindness we can suffer when it comes to the glory and mercy of God to the lesson that we should all learn to wait for God's timing and the man He wants for us Love at any Cost is a must read with twists and shockers to the very end!!! :)

My songs are: "In the Good Old Summertime" by Nat King Cole, "Hello Central, Give Me Heaven" by Sandy Posey, "Trust And Obey" by Sierra Hull

and I'm not sure this song really goes with Love at any Cost but pieces of it do "Naturally" by Selena Gomez.

MAT. 6:21-22
