Every single aspect of this book is excellent, the writing, the characters, the setting, the plot, but I found myself dreading to read it. Being inside Elijah's head was bloody torture.
So, while I’m working through my Lisa Henry marathon I attacked Sweetwater. Sweetwater is a slow read that works because it develops nice and slow. As the tension built, I was honestly nervous. I stopped reading for an afternoon because I was afraid Grady might not be the man I wanted him to be. I ...
Reading updates in review since GR doesn't allow long updates or spoilers in them..6%Crane smiled, and Elijah couldn't tell if he was being mocked or not. Maybe he'd spoken too quietly, too loudly, or carelessly run his words together. Or maybe it was just a smile.This is so true. These insecurities...
BR, February 14th with Julie, Marte, Momo, Nathan and Marco (leafmarks)... 2,5 starsAfter following my fellow Buddy readers on this book, I've come to a conclusion!!!Although it was very well written there were a lot of things in this book that didn't fit right with me at all...I loved Elijah, but I...
So yes, this has been me. How do I rate a book so beautifully written and portrayed that at the same time nearly drove me to vomiting during several scenes. It's a difficult position for a reader and reviewer to be in. Lisa Henry created an amazingly heartbreaking character in our sweet Elijah. H...

3.75-ish stars.I found myself feeling claustrophobic in Elijah's head. We see most of the story from his POV. There are a few Grady chapters, but they don't explain much, mostly that he doesn't want to have problems with the law, he is a kind man, travels/works with supportive (or at least understan...
I know what to say with this review but don't know how.I’ve had a long story with deaf characters in books. Most of the times I feel I’m reading sci-fi books instead of historical or contemporary, because they are truly idilic. I want a honest perspective of what deafness really entails and I’ve rea...
I can't even believe I'm writing this, but here goes. LH is one of my favorite authors, I don't think I've rated a single book of hers under three-stars, but I struggled with this one.I didn't have any major issues with it. Maybe that was problem. LH's books usually elicit strong emotions in me, goo...
Not too sure about this one. I definitely liked parts of it, just not sure about the bdsm elements, the whole Sir thing felt like it didn't fit. Maybe it's just me and I'm a bit over that kind of story deal. I definitely prefer this authors books when she's writing alone, she's got such a great voic...
