Book Review of Jillian Dare

Jillian Dare
Jillian Dare
Author: Melanie M. Jeschke
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback


This book was a very quick read for me, and frankly, it was a bit too quick. I had zero connection with any of the characters because this story had such a fast pace. It was what I would call a surface story, told in the first person, and only giving the basic info of the story without much detail. I loved reading about the occasional trip to England, and Jillian's sweet relationship with Cadence, but that's really about all I enjoyed. I would've liked to have seen Jillian and Ethan's relationship develop at a more realistic pace than what it did. When they suddenly became engaged, I found it, and the drama that followed, just plain unbelievable.

I honestly don't know if I will venture to read any of Ms. Jeschke's other works in the future after reading Jillian Dare. It did not have the depth that I like to see in novels, and it focused a little too heavily on the divorce issue within the church, in my opinion. I am giving Jillian Dare a rating of 3 stars.
