Handsome Cowboy or Debonair Tycoon. How's a Girl to
Choose?
Molly Lovelace dreams of a life without cares in Lockhart , Texas
Then mysterious stranger Edward Pierrepont sweeps into
town-and her life-and for the first time Molly wonders if she's met the man who
can give her everything. But he won't be in Lockhart long and while it
certainly seems like he talks about their glorious future together, she can't
quite get Bailey out of her mind.
What's a girl to do with all these decisions when love is in
the balance?
LOVE IN THE BALANCE is the sequel to Ms. Jennings’ Sixty Acres and a Bride. I greatly
enjoyed her first book and looked forward to this one—but it wasn’t what I
hoped.
Unfortunately Molly was—ahem—very unkind. When Bailey asked
for prayer in church regarding a temptation, she assumed (rightfully, but that
was beside the point) that it was about her and she made a scene. She didn’t
get much better as the book went on. Her parent’s needed her to marry money and
so she dates her best friend’s boyfriend. Both under duress, but it hurt her
friend. I won’t go on about her dating shenanigans, but I didn’t like Molly at
all and I didn’t see what Bailey saw in her—other than her wonderful body.
I really hate giving negative reviews, even though the author may not read them. So, I will add that Ms. Jennings did bring the
characters to life, she used great descriptive terms and there were some parts
of the book that piqued my interest. All in all – an okay read. $14.99. 368
pages. 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3.
