It started out as just a grown up "Reading Record" that didn't have to be signed off by a teacher, and has morphed into a Book Review Blog ... who knew that could happen?

#143 ~ All The Dear Faces
All The Dear Faces by Audrey Howard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The 3 Star sequel to Ambitions. What was a bit disappointing about this one is that it missed a generation .... and we were left wondering about the early life of Sean (James) Osbourne and his marriage to the cold Serena.
However, the story of Lacy's grandchildren - Elizabeth who marries Sir Harry Woodall and James who marries Irish lovely Mara O'Shaunassey ....... plus thrown also into the mix is the passion between Elizabeth of Mara's brother. The disappointing aspect of this tale is the fact that it simply just ended in a most unsatisfactory way .... it's as if the author simply gives up, or is told to cut some of the story off .... maybe she intends to write a sequel ... who knows?

Happy Reading

#142 ~ Ambitions
Ambitions by Audrey Howard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Review taken from my Blog Post in July 2011, after I borrowed the book from the local library:
A 3.5 Star read .... the story of two very different woman who built a life and business together and who both fell in love with the same man ... obviously one one was lucky enough to win his love .... or was she?
Wealthy and upper crust Lacy Hemmingway, pampered daughter of Charles Hemmingway the shipping magnet witness the terrible death of one of her Father's Irish workers and then goes on to be-friend that man's daughter, Rosie O'Malley.
Together they go on to challenge the accepted way of doing things and build a business together, but with both woman in love with the same man, James Osbourne ...... how will it end?

Happy reading.
