Review - Aloha Rose by Lisa Carter - Quilts of Love KINDLE FIRE HDX Giveaway & “Christmas Bee” Facebook Party 12/10

My thoughts:
This book is the 2nd book in the "Quilts of Love" series that I have read, and I really enjoyed it!
Each book "stands alone", and each book is written by a different author.

When Laney starts her search for her birth family,  she knew that the quilt in which she was found wrapped as a infant would be helpful in finding them. When she travels to Hawaii to find her birth mother she first meets Kai Barnes, and as she meets the rest of his family she learns more about her Hawaiian heritage. 

Will Laney and Kai learn to like each other? 

You will have to read the book to find out...

 This story is beautifully written with descriptive settings and lots of information about the Hawaiian language and lifestyle. There are twists in the story, which I enjoyed. ( I also liked Laney's Hawaiian Dictionary at the back of the book. )  You can refer to Laney's Dictionary as you are reading the book to learn words in the Hawaiian language.

This is a wonderful romance story about finding love and family.

I give this book 5 stars!

About the book: When Laney Carrigan’s adoptive parents encourage her as an adult to seek out her birth family, her only clue is the Lokelani quilt in which she was found wrapped as an infant. Centering her search on the Big Island, she battles fears of rejection from a family that abandoned her once before while her faith struggles to embrace God's love.  

Along the path to her true heritage, she meets Hawaiian cowboy/helicopter pilot, Kai Barnes. Kai is determined to protect the people he’s come to regard as family against a woman he suspects of being nothing more than a gold-digger, but he finds himself drawn to Laney in spite of his reservations. He's spent his entire life seeking forgiveness from past mistakes and longs for a second chance at happiness. Laney’s painstaking journey to find restoration and a place to belong among the breathtaking allure of the Big Island will lead her closer to her past and maybe even something more.
