Summary: I cannot recommend this book.
Comment: This book was very disappointing. All characters were wishy-washy and uninteresting. This story could have been told in a novel half the size. It was drawn out with meaningless dialogue. I've never seen a hero and heroine with less chemistry than the two in this book.
What exactly was the point of the heroine having sex with a man who contributed nothing to the story line? He and his son came in and out of the story without a purpose. If there was a purpose then Ms. Taylor Quinn failed to deliver it.
Ms. Taylor Quinn should stick to writing for Harlequin Superromance. This book was truly her worst work.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not as good as they say....
Comment: I was quite disappointed with this book and do not agree with the previous 5 star reviews.
This is my first Tara Taylor Quinn and I'm not eager to read another. Where The Road Ends is the story of a rich CEO Mom, who's only son is kidnapped. I found the first half to be long, drawn-out, boring and repetitive. Every town Amy went to sounded like the last one and they continued for at least 100 pages. Then, suddenly, about halfway through, the action picked up. I really only finished the book to see what would happen. In other words, the action and plot drove me, not the characters.
You may find this weird, but I can usually tell how much depth and character development there's going to be judging by the size of the print in a paperback. No, I'm serious! When the print is small and the pages packed, I know there's going to be good detail, great story and rich characters. I opened Quinn's book and I saw wide margins and lots of dialogue. Uh-oh, I thought. This may not be so good. And it wasn't. So many characters were made of cardboard, or so it seemed.
The character of Amy was decently done, in that she was a focused ( Ok, obsessed) guilt-ridden Mom, determined to get back her cute 5 year old son, who she feels she neglected. She runs herself into the ground looking for him but never gives up. I liked her and admired her.
But I had problems with many of the other characters, especially Brad. Who was he? We hardly found out a thing about him. He also seemed very cold and distant, and only a bit warmer than that to Amy. And he was supposed to be the Love Interest! Then her friendship with Kristen was soooo warm and cuddly, that I started to wonder if this was going to veer off into a girl-girl relationship. But no. It was just a Best Girlfriends scenario. And then this weird diversion with Josh and Danny - what a great couple of guys!! But they came out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly. Were they added strictly as a device for Amy to understand she still wanted to be part of a family?
Anyway - I found this novel to be slow, disjointed and certainly not romantic. Too bad - it had potential and could have been really good.
Rating: 5
Summary: She leaves to find her son...and finds herself.
Comment: Amelia Wainscoat's son is missing. It's every mother's worst nightmare. She tosses her old life aside and sets out to find him. On her journey, she finds out things about herself...things she never imagined. In the end, her journey teaches her about what's really important.
A page-turning story that will make every mother's heart turn cold.
