Customer Reviews

Good, but not great end to a wonderful series

Though it has many flaws (in terms of plot-holes and timing issues), this series is not to be missed. The story is intricate and complex, and though it is at times confusing, it's very exciting and it holds your interest. The story of Coral and Jace is beautiful, and at times, frustrating. You simply can't wait until they're together at last! You'll laugh, you'll cheer, and yes, you'll be so frustrated that you'll throw the book across the room, but in the end, you'll be satisfied. Linda Chaikin has a way of making the romance in her books seem effortless and natural...it hardly ever seems forced or rushed, and that's very rare in Christian romance. If you liked this series, be sure to check out Linda's other books...they don't disappoint!

Sad that it ends

The fight scenes in this last installment of Chaikin's Heart of India series are as usual in Chaikin's writing quite good really. She keeps the whole thing masculine, as it should be, instead of playing things down completely for the women readers. Coral and Jace continue their love story in much the same way as in the first two books, and everything is righted in Coral's world at the end. All in all, this was a good read that the avid Chaikin reader will enjoy.

Great book on intrigue, and adventure in exotic India....

I believe this series is one of Linda Chaikin's best that she has ever written. She is great at creating complicated plots that work out smoothly to the end. Jace Buckley, a major in the British army in 1800 India is caught in intrigue that threatens his life, Gem's life and Coral's. He is on a mission to find Coral's missing adopted son but Coral's Uncle Hugo stands in the way of getting to Gem in his own quest for political gain. Coral's heart and mind is set upon building a school for the India's forgotten children, the untouchables. With the help of Dr. Ethan Boswell, she builds the school of her dreams but not without the disapproval of the natives there. Ethan is the man that her family wants Coral to marry. Will Coral find her true love? Will Jace find what his heart is longing for? Can he get to Gem in time? So much to say about this book that will certainly thrill you about the culture of India, how the British lived among the natives and the Hindu religion. Linda Chaikin weaves a great story about love, danger, betrayal and sacrifice in this final book of the HEART OF INDIA trilogy.

Heart of India- Great Series!

The series of Heart of India told a great story about the lives of the charters, the history of English occupation, and about the greed that overtakes some individuals. Linda Chaikin does a super job!
