Trusting Grace by Maggie Brendan

The dialogue between the characters felt trite and stiff.  Conversations didn’t flow naturally.  The love story seemed stilted.  For example one page Grace says to herself that she realizes she not only loves the children but also loves Robert and wonders why she didn’t acknowledge this to herself early.  A mere two pages later when Robert asks if he may court her she stares at him blankly.  This time she says to herself that she must have given him the wrong impression that she cared for him like “that”.  This makes no sense.  Similar odd or awkward situations and conversations are throughout the book that made the characters not come alive for me.  The basis of the storyline was interesting but I just didn’t “feel the love” in this romance.
