Reviews for A Cousin's Promise
67 ratings7 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I don't like saying negative things about books but this is not one I would recommend. Very predictable, one-dimensional characters and flat writing. I won't be reading anything else by Wanda Brunstetter.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A group of Amish young people are travelling to an amusement park for the day when the van they are riding in crashes. Some of the young people lose their lives and the lives. Those that survive will have their lives changed forever. Book 1 follows the lives of Wayne Lambright and Loraine Miller. The two had planned on being married before the accident. Loraine still wants the wedding to take place but Wayne no longer wants to marry her.Wanda Brunstetter is my favorite author and she has written another wonderful book. I couldn't put this book down. I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading Amish fiction.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The title of this Amish romance should be Accidents as it's loaded with one tragic accident after another. I do not remember ever having read a book so crammed full of mishaps.The plot is slow moving and repetitive, almost to the point of stopping--only to speed up at the satisfying end. The large cast of characters are rather flat, but since this is the first in the Indiana Cousins series, I expect them to be fleshed out in books to come. Several of the characters have problems that will drastically influence the course of their lives. Tripod is one unique character that's worth watching. I like the author's interweaving of the Plain People's jargon.Fans of Amish specialist Brunstetter, will enjoy this one, and be interested in some starter for Friendship Bread. Discussion questions are included at the end as well as a recipe for Loraine's Favorite Chicken.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed the storyline an depth of this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Cousin Promise is done well. I know I read this way before starting my book blog. I really did enjoy this. This book is about Loraine and Wayne. Will Loraine keep her promise? Though Wayne seem to have had accident and was left crippled.Will Wayne see is way and hold on to his happiness? I really can not remember much it been that long ago. If I ever do re-read this book again I truly hope it as good as the first I read it. I do not see why it would not be.I remember some of it story and plot. I know that it was written well. I did enjoy the story none the less. Will Wayne be able to get over his struggles and look to god and faith. Will Loraine be able to get over her rejection with gods help? What will happen once Loraine old boyfriends returns? Who will Loraine choose to love and marry?
