Taming the Wind- Tracie Peterson
I received this book through the Bethany House Publishers Book Review Program. This book was fine but not outstanding to me. It didn’t capture me and pull me in. I have not read the previous two books in this series, but this book stands very well on its own without needing the background stories from the other two books.
The plot had a lot of unexpected things h...appen to make it a good book, but the kidnapping/hostage situation is getting to be an overused conflict in many books. This one did have its own twist and solution which did help.
Although I liked this book just fine it wasn’t a book that I just couldn’t put down, nor did it make me want to immediately read the other books in this series or by this author. The situations that arose in the book caused strong emotions and reactions in the characters, but I didn’t feel like it was written so that the reader would feel the same. The love story in the book also seemed kind of ho-hum. They were friends, talked a few times, he was gone most of the book, and suddenly they both just feel like they are in love and want to get married when he returns. I didn’t feel like there was as much excitement and intensity in the book as the back portrayed.
Overall I enjoyed the book but I, myself wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.
