The Pretender: a Blackguard in Disguise (The Caselli Family #1) by Ta'mara Hanscom -- Review
12/9/2017
About the Book Set in South Dakota in 1975, where eighteen-year-olds could order 3.2 beer in a bar, and loaded guns were kept under the counter. Frankie Valli sang “My Eyes Adored You,” and American soldiers returning from Vietnam struggled with their new reality. It’s within this tumultuous season of American history that Tillie Caselli meets Noah Hansen, and they are never the same again. Their lives were mysteriously intertwined—and had been for many years—yet they had no idea. From the moment they met, Tillie and Noah wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, but a deliberate omission will keep them apart—and that same omission will be responsible for the escape of a murderer, and a bride’s deception. About the Author Born and raised in South Dakota, Ta`Mara loves to write about the Great Plains and the beauty and people of Italia. While her husband and children manage their two pizza ristoranti, Ta`Mara works full time on The Caselli Family Series, and ministers to women. It is Ta`Mara s prayer that as the readers explore the truths in these volumes, they will come away with a new perspective on love, forgiveness, obedience, and God's plan for marriage ReviewThis story starts out a bit slow and is hard to get into. Some readers may find that they have to force themselves to keep going. And the romance between the two main characters happens a bit randomly and quickly. Almost not making it quite believable. Also, the book kind of stereotypes war veterans as being drunks when they cannot handle their problems. But this is not the case for everyone. Although the story has several down sides, it is also is a good reminder of the struggles of war veterans, as well as the positive influence and strong relationships of both family and romantic. The characters will definitely grab the emotions of readers as they continue throughout the novel. This novel is for readers that enjoy Christian romance.
