Review: Getting better with every book

What I've always loved about Moriah Jovan's books is how she brings her characters alive. Each one is a special treat because she not only gives additional glimpses of characters I've fallen in love with in prior books in the series, but she brings in more people to fall in love with. It's like a family reunion, or a dinner scene from "Brothers and Sisters." You never know quite what you're going to get with family, but it's always going to be interesting and fun!I like that each book has a slightly different flavor. I felt like I'd run a marathon when I read "The Proviso." I lounged and sighed as I read "Stay." I'm still trying to analyze my physical reaction to "Magdalene," but it's all good!Cassie and Mitch do not disappoint. You don't have to be Mormon or even know much about Mormons to "get" this story. The story isn't about Mormons and Mormonism, it's about some people who happen to be Mormon and how that affects how they live their lives and the choices they make. I think MJ has done a fantastic job of weaving the religion in without making the book about the religion. This is hands down the best book I've read by a Mormon author that includes Mormon characters.These books are well written and plotted. The characters continue to be the strong point of MJ's writing, in my opinion. I really recommend picking up one of these books and introducing yourself to the Dunham clan.
