All's Fair by Julie Coulter Bellon & Last day to enter the drawing

Alls Fair Alls Fair by Julie Coulter Bellon


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed "
All's Fair" by Julie Coulter Bellon. There are two story lines to follow in this novel; siblings Kristen, a political campaign expert and Brandon an Army doctor and LDS covert who is stationed in Iraqi.



Kristen leaves her fiance at the altar and the old boyfriend comes into the picture and Brandon finds he is falling for his fellow doctor, Rachel Fields. The two story lines eventually merge, but I found I was drawn more to Brandon and Rachel's story. Their relationship seemed more believable and this was also the more exciting storyline. Granted, the storyline taking place in Iraqi is full of war happenings, kidnappings and terrorists; of course this had more excitement.



Julie is very good at writing suspense. I read this book rather quickly because I had to see if everyone made it out alive. I felt the book had a good ending, though some people have a thing against a "Happy Ever After" type ending. Personally, I don't mind reading a happy ending once in awhile. I have had too much reality in my own life lately and like to be taken away to a happy place when I read.



I look forward to reading more of Julie's books. I am sorry it has taken this long to find out what a great writer she is.

  3. Well, I sort of write more about them in the next book. You find out a little more about what happened to them anyway. I have been toying with a sequel. Maybe I really should! :)

    Great blog!
