Seriously boring.I also do not like books that I feel like they are pushing religion down my throat!

[Christie · Rating 2 out of 5]

The only reason I gave this two stars rather than one is because of the last story. As with many of the 3 in 1 books, only one of the stories was worth reading. Here is my evaluation for each of the three:

Story 1
Southern Sympathies: no stars
The main character just grated on my nerves. She was supposed to be a Christian, but seemed not to know or truly understand any of the Bible. She was also weak; the typical submissive brainwashed cult member. This alone made her completely unlikable. I also didn't care for the male main character, who also made the whimpy choice when things got tough.

Story 2
A Matter of Security: 1 star
While the plot of this story was interesting, the relationship between the two main characters lacked development and believability. After a couple dates, a few kisses, and a rescue, you're ready to get married?!? The author did a great job developing the mystery plot, but not nearly enough time creating connection between the two MCs.
There were a couple other little things that related to the mystery, but I could have easily overlooked them if the relationship development had been there.

Story 3
The Bride Wore Coveralls: 3 stars
This story was great. Believable characters, interesting story line, and great character/relationship development. Only one glaring mistake: the characters order sweet tea and call it "sweetened tea," something no southerner would ever do.
This is the best story of the three.

A book with 3 little Christian romances in it. They were OK, the middle one by Kay Cornelius was the best, but none of them had a lot of depth to them. The characters modeled good fundamental Christian belief.

I have read a lot of the 3in1 books. I really liked this one a lot! The last story was the best of all three.
