Review of Aloha Rose by Lisa Carter & Quilts of Love KINDLE FIRE HDX Giveaway & “Christmas Bee” Facebook Party 12/10!


About the book: When Laney Carrigan's adoptive parents encourage her as an adult to seek out her birth family, her only clue is the Lokelani quilt in which she was found wrapped as an infant. Centering her search on the Big Island, she battles fears of rejection from a family that abandoned her once before while her faith struggles to embrace God's love.
Along the path to her true heritage, she meets Hawaiian cowboy/helicopter pilot, Kai Barnes. Kai is determined to protect the people he's come to regard as family against a woman he suspects of being nothing more than a gold-digger, but he finds himself drawn to Laney in spite of his reservations. He's spent his entire life seeking forgiveness from past mistakes and longs for a second chance at happiness. 


Laney's painstaking journey to find restoration and a place to belong among the breathtaking allure of the Big Island will lead her closer to her past and maybe even something more.

My review: I really enjoyed this wonderful story about finding where you belong.  I loved plucky Laney and her search for her roots and cowboy Kai, both afraid to trust and be vulnerable.  The romance was great and I loved the immersion in Hawaiian culture.  I so want to visit there even more now!  The sense of humor was wonderful and so was the twist at the end of the story.  This is part of the Quilts of Love series, but they each stand alone.  There wasn't anything I didn't like about this story!  Check it out if you like romance!
