I adored the second book in the Hawthorne House series so much that requesting this book for review was a no- brainer. Sadly for me, I did not connect with the characters in this book nearly as much and did not really enjoy myself.

I found Trent petulant and whiny - which are my two least favorite traits in a hero, which forced Adelaide to be alternatively strident and dull. The two just never really gelled to where I buy the HEA in AN UNCOMMON COURTSHIP.

Kristi Ann Hunter's writing is gorgeous, however, and I do appreciate how she weaves a very authentic faith into the characters. One never gets the impression that these books are meant to be evangelical - meaning, no one is going to switch faiths after reading this, necessarily. Instead, it's a book for those people of faith who want to see themselves on the page. It's a skill for sure and one Hunter excels at. Just because I did not enjoy spending time with Trent and Adelaide does not mean I'm adding her to the "Do Not Read" list. Contrarily, I'm excited to see where she goes next.
