HIS HOLIDAY PRAYER by Tina Russo Radcliffe, Reviewed by Kim and Winnie


WINNIE'S REVIEW:
What fun it was to travel back to Rebel, Oklahoma and spend more time with the Rainbolt family! This time we got Tucker Rainbolt and Jena Harper’s story, although I wasn’t sure if Tucker was ever going to figure out what (or who) was missing in his life. One of my favorite tropes is best friends to more, and Tucker and Jena definitely qualified for the best friends roles. They had gone to college together and then started their veterinarian clinic together.

Tina Radcliffe is a master at creating swoony, amazing heroes and lovely heroines. They are always so endearing and easy to relate to. The witty banter between the characters was such fun. A stellar cast of secondary characters added to my enjoyment of the story. Who can resist a couple of four-year-old twins named Hazel and Ginger? Of course, there were also appearances by characters in the previous books in the series. Mitch and Reece had to meddle a bit in their brother Tucker’s life.

This has been such a fun series. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next. Her sense of humor is always a highlight of her stories. *I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. All opinions are my own.

KIM'S REVIEW:
Tina Radcliffe writes families that you can’t help loving and they always live in the best towns! I love the small town of Rebel, Oklahoma. I’d move there in a heartbeat, if I could. I love the small town feel and the sense of community that Ms. Radcliffe has created. I also love the Rainbolt siblings and I’m gonna be sad when this series ends.
 
While I liked both of the main characters, I struggled a bit connecting with Tucker and Jena and their story. I didn’t really feel that they progressed from best friends to a couple. I’m a sucker for romance and I felt like that was missing in their relationship. I did love their friendship and how they were unconditionally there for each other.
 
I felt that the secondary characters, especially Nolie, stole the show. I loved her sassiness and her wisdom and the pops of humor she added to the story.
 
As usual with Tina Radcliffe’s stories, I loved the writing style and the feel of this story, especially since it takes place around Thanksgiving and Christmas! My favorite part was the Rainbolt Thanksgiving day celebration.
 
I’m really looking forward to reading Kate’s story next and I’m really really hoping I already know who the hero will be....
*I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. The faith element is light.
