Review: Not Classified Christian Fiction or Christian Romance
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 13, 2014
Have read all the reviews for this book to date and I'm very confused to say the least.  This was also under my recommended list but under "Scottish Romance".  No where on this page does it classify this book under "Christian" anything.  Although I have not read this story to its completion yet I have read the sneak peak preview.  I am making this review now because of the 1 star reviews about the "sex" and it falling under a supposed Christian classification.  I certainly understand some readers being offended by overly graphic sex or even some sex in a book and not wanting that type of material.  What I don't understand is although it may have slipped under the "Christian" radar in recommended books why would a person purchase this title when NOWHERE in the DESCRIPTION or ANYWHERE ELSE on the PAGE does it reference "God" or "Christianity" once? I even clicked on the author to see if her other titles were "Christian", there was only one other title and it was not of the "Christian" genre.  There are several genres that I do not like and will not purchase (Vampires, Dark Paranormals, Created Science Fiction) but due to crossing genre lines, Historical mostly, I occasionally get titles in my recommended list that are not what I want hence "RECOMMENDED". I don't normally purchase a title under 300 pages because I have found that it takes at least that many pages to develop a decent story. This is actually one of those stories, not much over 100 pages.  That is the very first thing I look for is the length of the book. I normally would have just moved on to the next recommended title when I saw that it was a short story.  With this it just seemed strange that the ratings were so far apart.  In reading the reviews I found out why.  Seems unfair to the author to give a 1 star review because a reader didn't check the material before purchasing it.  If it was classified "Christian" I could understand those reviews but it is not!  I am giving it 3 stars at this time because I have not purchased the entire book, just the preview.  I will update my review when complete.
