My Review:
I absolutely LOVE getting to read debut novels by new authors. Lorna Seilstad had got what it takes to create a novel to fully capture the reader instantly, and make them feel right at home with the wonderful characters. Ms. Seilstad has the skills to pen novels that are sure to be best selling!
Making Waves is the first book in this amazing, brand-new series, Lake Manawa Summers, and oh what a start it is! It’s 1895 in Iowa and Marguerite just wants to live life adventurously for herself and not like some of the high society women attending dinners and balls. And that’s just what she tries to do. She was such an adorable character. She had that real-to-life feel and reminded me of myself at that age, wanting to do what I wanted to do and not meaning to cause raucous. And oh what raucous she caused! Let’s talk about her “intended” Roger….DID NOT LIKE HIM! Come on, really? Did he have to be so boring? Oh, and how about Trip? Now THAT was a DREAMY character! I fell in love with him at the first description of his tender hearted, yet strong soul! He really completed the depth to the characters and made the book that much more fun!
Lorna Seilstad packed this series start full of laugh-out-loud humor and antics, a hint of mystery, lots and lots of love, and a spiritual message of never settling for less than God’s will in your life, no matter what or whom may think otherwise.
If you like a story full of love, laughter, and God, than this is a 5 star story you won’t want to miss. It’s a perfect start to a new series and book 2, A Great Catch will be at the top of my wish list until it’s Summer ’11 release! Great job, Lorna!!
