The Book Charmer by Karen Hawkins

I give this book 5-stars.  The story is wonderful.  The characters are quirky and interesting.  It was so easy to fall in love with the town as well.  I cannot wait for the next book in the Dove Pond series.

The book has good flow and is easy to read.  There is no profanity that I can remember.  There are also no intimate scenes.  This book is perfect for your grandmother who loves to read, but doesn't like sex in her books.  My grandmother tears out the pages, so you have to be careful with grandmothers.

I must, however, join the ranks of confusion regarding the title of the book and the main character.  The title leads us to believe the book is about the book charmer of the town.  The story is about a completely different character.  The book charmer does have a story line in the book, but she is hardly the heroine of our story.  I must admit, Ive never been  faced with such a dilemma.  I do sense that her story will continue on and culminate at some point in the series.  Perhaps the book should have been called The Dragon Lady instead?

Daisy, Momma G and Grace will grab your heart in this debut novel of the Dove Pond series.  Here's hoping we see more of Sarah and Blake in the books to come.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review The Book Charmer.
