Sooner Or Later (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

This book was so disappointing. I was caught at the airport with nothing to read (nook can't be used during take off or landing!), so picked this book up from the "new" shelf at the airport Borders. Since when is 1996 new?!? I hate it that I was in a rush and forgot to check copyright date (which we all need to do now even if book is on "new" shelf). This story was fragmented and did not work for me at all. It's almost like the characters wanted to be from 1880, even though it is supposed to be a contemporary story (Letty the female lead is a "postmistress"). The whole rescue operation in the ficitious Central American country was beyond ridiculous, but to make the story even more fragmented, another main male character is having female problems of his own back in Kansas City that are wholly unrelated to Letty and her mercenary (who was a complete ass, so it's puzzling to me why any woman would be attracted to him). Obviously I hadn't read the first in the series, but I've never read a Debbie Macomber book that was quite so fractured. I didn't feel an emotional pull with any character -- not even Letty's twin brother Luke who as a missionary was caputred and tortured (and thus the object of the Central American rescue). Luke just came across as a ninny. Just a disappointment all around. This is why I don't trust book publishers or sellers anymore -- when I don't have access to check goodreads.com, I should save my money and re-read a book I know I can count on. Total waste of $7.99, and I wish I could get my $$ back!

"Oh, dear heavens!" she thought. "It was just so full of promise, of wonder, of excitement."But then, she realized what time had taught her. That she should have known better. That her whimsical wishes and desires had gotten the better of her once again.While this was a romance book, it just wasn't the romance book she'd hoped for . . .***********************************Ok, enough of the farce. Seriously, if you write a romance book, people have sex. Really. Real, adult, no-holds-barred, rowdy or not sex. Not this junk that's watered down lusty wanting. But, such is the world of Christina romance, into which I somehow wandered. The secondary story--of Lettie going to rescue her brother from a third-world country that's been taken over in a coup--is actually pretty interesting . . . if it weren't for the interludes of chaste NOT-SEX. Ugh. No redeeming qualities in this one. Don't waste your time on it, even though it's a quick read (although I suspect that's because you keep think, "Ok, I must be getting close to the sex! Really!"Bah.

What do You think about Sooner Or Later (2009)?

[audio] Not the Debbie Macomber of Blossom Street, this second in the Deliverance Company series adds suspense and some descriptive zing to the "good girl with "traditional" values changes bad boy" romance plot. There is action (but not Steve Berry or James Rollins or even Brockman style), disasters (with kisses to make it better), and not everything is happily ever after. This was almost chaste for those seeking romantic suspense, but some detailed descriptions of both the romance and the violence give it a red-flag for "gentle readers" who enjoy Macomber's newer titles. I added the magical realism tag to cover Leddy's perceptions of her twins emotions and the Christian tag because it plays a significant part in Leddy's character.
