    Review & Giveaway of Tropical Kiss & Tell by Liwen Y. Ho

    January 10, 2019 in my point of view

    Reprinted with author’s permission:

    The girl next door becomes the woman who almost got away.

    Micah Chan has loved Lucy Choi ever since they were kids, but life—and some regretful decisions—stopped him from pursuing her. Now he has a choice to make: Let her marry another man or break up her engagement to make this Christmas the most memorable one of their lives?

    Micah and Lucy were introduced as children in the books Tropical Kiss or Miss and Taking a Chance on the Enemy, respectively. Meet them now as adults on the brink of discovering their own happily-ever-after.

    my point of view:

    Oh, what a sweet and fun this story was! I have not read any of the previous books in this series, and I can certainly attest that this can stand alone as it’s own novel! I absolutely loved the mostly light hearted journey of Lucy and Micah! I especially loved how these two meet as children, and while Lucy is not the happiest camper at 10 years old and having just moved to a new home and school, I became quite enamored with thirteen year old Micah and his strong faith in the Lord at such a young age!

    The story takes us back and forth through the history and present day relationship of these two beautiful characters in a way that is done without a hitch. I normally do not like books that jump around time wise, but, honestly, this was done in a way that made perfect sense, and I don’t think I would have appreciated their story as much if the author gave it all to me chronologically.

    What I also really liked about the entire story was how all of the main characters were already firmly rooted in their faith and belief in God. The only real ‘drama’ in the story was the relationship these two had as friends, almost sibling like, to falling in love with each other and not really knowing how to move past their close friendship into the next level! Now this may sound weird, but I also loved reading about the family meals and food they ate, lol! I love to learn subtleties of other cultures, and this part was wonderfully written into the story!

    I  have never read any of Ms. Ho’s books before, but I am certainly going to start reading more now!

        I was very pleased, Carol, and I plan on reading more – that’s always the key, right?

      I guess my favorite vacation spot is Puerto Rico, but it might have more to do with who I was with than the place itself. My mom, my husband, and both of my daughters and their husbands, and I stayed together in a rented home.

        That sounds lovely, Lisa! I have never been, but I can agree that as nice as a place can be, the company can certainly make a difference!!
