Customer Reviews

Funny, thought-provoking, romantic

I'm not one to read a lot of books but this one had me hooked the whole way through - I just couldn't put it down! It definitely does have you laughing the whole way through, and yet it also makes you think about life and your faith in God. Not to mention a good warmhearted romance to top it off. EXCELLENT!

One of my favs

This book is one of my alltime favorites. I loved Sunny's possitive, zanny out-look on life. I absolutely adored Dan and his overprotectiveness of his fam. I would recommend it whoever is reading this review. Windsor will have you laughing at Sunny's predicaments from the beginning to the very end.

It had to be for me!!

This has got to be one of my favorite books! Though it is predictable (the endings to most romance novels are), the humor in it makes up for any downfalls this novel may have. Sunny Elders fits her name perfectly, or at least appears to. She is happy and funny, but is really breaking up inside because of grief. Dan is the opposite. He shows exactly what he is feeling, and consequently, at times, acts like a jerk. The story is a good one. It teaches that in order to be really happy we sometimes just have to jump out there and have a little faith! You'll laugh all the way through it, I PROMISE!!

This book made me laugh out loud!

I have only recently begun reading "inspirational fiction" because of my growing disenchantment with the usual content of fiction these days. I was skeptical. I expected heavy handed sermons, but Linda Windsor doesn't give that. She does have a serious message, but that message is packaged in a delightful box! I thought the two main characters were very funny, and as a klutz myself I could both laugh and sympathize with Sunny's accidents. This was my first Linda Windsor book, but it won't be my last.

Pure delight!

Rancher Dan Jarrett did not believe in love-at-first-sight. So he had been appalled when his widowed mother, Esther, fell in love during a cruise and married Charlie Meyers. Dan was positive Charlie was a fraud after his mother's money. Esther and Charlie took Dan, his sister, and his brother-in-law on a family Caribbean cruise to show them the magic. Nurse Sunny Elders was in her element in an Emergency Room, but a trouble magnet outside the hospital walls. Her depressed sister had been in dire need of a vacation with her husband. So off on a cruise they went! Sunny took charge of her niece and nephew on board the Love Ahoy and trouble took charge of Sunny, as usual. And a few "Crazy Aunt Sunny mishaps" was what brought Dan and Sunny together. Sometimes God works in mysterious, and often hilarious, ways! This book is pure delight! A sassy and funny romantic story that had me laughing (UN-lady like) out loud! This is DEFINITELY one for the Keeper Shelf, Readers! Highly recommended!
