Let Love Find You (Reid Family Book 4)

I had stopped reading Johanna Lindsey because she seemed to have lost her spark but this book reminds me of some of her earlier work. More her style.

This was a pretty good historical romance but I think I'm a little iffy on how much I liked it. This boils down not to my enjoyment of the characters or the plot, I actually was just annoyed by what I felt was an excessive use of exclamation points. Weird, I know, but there was some dialogue that I almost recoiled from because I had to re-read, trying to imagine how or why the hero was finishing his sentences with an exclamation point. Outside of that, I actually really loved the story. A duke's daughter is entering her third season and instead of becoming "on-the-shelf" her family enlists the help of a matchmaker. Not too uncommon except this matchmaker is also a successful horse breeder nicknamed Cupid. Amanda and Devin have an almost instant dislike of each other. Devin has no problem telling it like it is and Amanda is not used to people being so honest with her. I love the interactions and fights these two get in to. Their chemistry is almost instant and I really loved the battles they faced opening up to the love developing between them. I guess you could say that overall I did enjoy the story, odd dialogue choices aside. The Mallory series is still my favorite from Johanna Lindsey but the Reed series is a fun read.

It was wonderful nothing boring at all about this one. It kept you on your toes. A wonderful love story. I would love to It kept going maybe a story about Preston and his wife.

I almost stopped reading this book. A surprise because I have enjoyed other books by Johanna Lindsey. She picked a time and setting she apparently knew little about. She used a period setting in England. Then she put her characters in long dresses, side saddles, carriages, and gave them modern manners and morals. Obviously she knew almost nothing about how people of title were addressed.SO, if you want a pleasant story that has very little to do with the times or the place, this one delivers.

I have never read a book written by Johanna Lindsey that I didn't love. This book was no exception and was really a fun book. I loved the story line of "cupid". It was really a fresh story where he advises her on where she is going wrong...that was really fun...and the fact that I often talk too much when nervous made that part delightful for me. The fact that he breeds horses is only a minor point and besides a man working with horses never makes me tired.I loved his character. I loved her character, the interplay and how angry he makes her sometimes. She is a beautiful girl in her third season which is an unusual twist and then for him to have the nerve to pick on her about her issues with finding a husband just really made it interesting.I loved her mental thoughts on his size and what she considered his lack of gentlemanly attributes. I laughed a great deal with this book.But then, Ms Lindsey is the master and always will be. If I could even write with a fraction of her skill, I would be blessed. This was a fantastic book and to me well worth the read.

If you like her other books in this series, you'll like this one. It fits right along with the rest.

I am a forever Johanna Lindsey fan and this Story is just one reason why. The fear of horses, the fear of abandonment and the fear of love combine to make a love story with a wonderful ending.

Wonderful entertaining book. A delightful story that has unexpected twists and turns. Ending that doesn't deflate the story. Definitely a read again book. Take a chance, you're going to love it!

Book 4 - " Reid Family Series " Amanda Locke, is in her third Season and still looking for a husband that she can love, so when she meets someone who interests her but he loves horses she decides to get back into riding. Devin has two horse farms and agrees to give Amanda riding lessons. This novel was interesting and I liked the characters but there was still not the spark that Lindsey used to have in her writing. I hope she gives up this formula to write by and starts writing with joy again

This book is great! I completed the book in one day, could not put the book down.Johanna Lindsey is my favorite author, I enjoy her stories, they are full of romancelove, and passion. In Let Love Find You I found myself dreaming and being a part of the novel. Don't miss this fabulous read.

I love it

The forewords in the book led me to believe it would be as good as the Malory novels. It was not. I didn't even get through it. I put it on shelf, and intend to try again at another time. Maybe I missed something.

I have read ALL of Johanna Lindsey's books, and I don't know...this one just didn't resound with her writing style. Admittedly, her last few books have been very hit and miss with me, but I am one of her die hard fans that will continue buying her books because I am always hopeful that I will get Once A Princess, The Magic of You, Man of My Dreams or Savage Thunder. But after this book, I am not even sure whether this is still her or a ghost writer! The style was so unlike hers with exclamation marks at the most inconvenient places (I know! I am remarking about punctuation!) and the love scenes were awkward and stilted, almost as if this was the author's first book, and she was shy about writing them. Man of My Dreams author - SHY?!?!The story itself was better than her last few books (hence the three stars), but at least those read like hers. Now I think she is simply putting her name on the cover. Sorry Johanna. :(
