Hidden Under Her Heart - Book Review


Reading is not something I really have time for anymore.  I have lots of free time, but its interrupted often, which doesn't work well for reading a book.  I lose my page and end up reading the same passages a few times.  So I do most of my reading in the bath.  Or while Michael watches anime on Netflix.

I was recently given a chance to read Hidden Under Her Heart by Rachelle Ayala.  The review is due today, and I finished it at 12:30 this morning.  I have always been a procrastinator.

Hidden Under Her Heart is the story of Maryanne Torres, a nurse who is trying to find love, but kind of sucks at it.  She meets Lucas and they have a roller coaster relationship, complicated by an unplanned pregnancy.

From a critical point of view, the story has a lot of flaws.  There are some obvious grammatical errors, and the story was unevenly paced.  The characters didn't have a lot of development.  I had a first printing of the book, in newer versions and the e-book the errors are corrected.

BUT, I really like the book!  In real life people don't have huge personality changes or growth in the matter of 9 months.  In real life people do keep making the same mistakes over and over again.  Exciting things don't happen at an even pace.

This is supposed to be a Christian novel, but honestly it has a little to much language and mildly graphic sex scenes for me to call it that.  It DOES talk about God and Jesus, and church.  I was contacted by the author after I published this review, and in the newer versions of the book and e-book the sex scene has been deleted.  

Last but certainly not least (in fact it is a main topic of the book) is that this book talks a lot about abortion.  It is DEFINITELY a pro-life book :)

If you would like to purchase this book, it is available on Amazon.  It is $1.99 for an e-book and $9.10 for a paperback!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Is Mother Goose Time Worth The Money?

Last night my husband asked me if I thought that Mother Goose Time was worth the money if I didn't get it for free.  I think this is an excellent question, and one that people probably want to know. How Much Does It Cost?: Mother Goose Time costs $75 a month for one child, including shipping if you buy it month to month.  If you can order and pre-pay ahead of time, you can save up to 15%, depending on how far ahead you pre-pay.  If you have more than one child using the curriculum it is only about $5 a month to add a child.  Many of the products provided cover the entire class, including manipulatives and story books.  The things that each child needs come packaged in their own bag for each child. What I Think of the Curriculum: The curriculum is great.  It is thorough and engaging.  It provides me with ideas and supplies to teach my son things I never would have thought to teach him, but will make him a very well rounded person.  He now talks about things he never would ha

Review - Seven Everyday Slings

I got this sling because it was free, I only had to pay shipping.  Since I bought it, I have found out that it is VERY easy to find codes for this to be free, and I am pretty sure that if you ever pay full price for one you got duped. I was SO excited.  I wanted a baby carrier really bad.  I didn't have a baby, but I am always collecting baby things. In case you were thinking that I only review things that I like, I HATE THIS SLING!  I have used it with tiny babies, older babies, and toddlers.  Pros: - Adorable, and available in a variety of colors - Lightweight and compact, you can easily throw it in a diaper bag or purse - Works from birth - 35 lbs Hadlee thinks being worn is fun, so I walked around with her for a few minutes.  Within literally 5 minutes my lower back was hurting on the side the weight was on. Cons: - Terrifying to use with small babies.  They sink down in it, and its almost impossible to keep them from having their chin tucked to their chest, w
