Rhonda Bowen

A sweet story about faith and unconditional love. There wasn't quite enough development for me to "arrive" at all of the characters' emotions as soon as they did, and I ran into some technical errors, particularly punctuation. Also, unless I missed some details, the heroine describes what the hero looks like but doesn't describe herself much. (I appreciate a lot of physical description or barely any at all, as long as there's a balance between the two main characters, in a romance.)

Still, I enjoyed this quick read, which has a quality as lovely as its cover.… (mais)

Review:

"Hitting the Right Note" by Rhonda Bowen was one very "powerful and wonderful Christian novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat with all of its drama. Truly this Isaacs family members seemed to be something to reckon with in this well written story. I believe the two main characters JJ (Judith) Isaacs the R&B star and Simon Massri the renowned doctor were quite a pair that only God would be their for them and finally get them on the right path.It wasso very interesting how this author was able to portray this young women JJ who was a very good person so well grounded in her knowledge and belief of God and was quite the pillar for her siblings only to find that something was wrong with what was going on in personal life. As JJ gets caught up with this new 'star' life she wanted she will distance her life from her faith and even her family's approval. It was only after JJ comes in contact once again after a number of years with a Dr.Simon Massri will she be able to see her life more clearly that she isn't going in the right direction as she knew she should be travelling? Will JJ be able to break free and finally make the right choice for her life and in the end get that special someone to love?

There will be a lots going on in "Hitting the Right Note" you will have to keep up to see from this read: like from problems with a sister in law pregnancy, a producer, secret lover, the Isaac sisters, new band members and their problems, faith in God promises, new love, contracts signing on to trusting in God and knowing he will bring it all out was quite some interesting read. This is where I say to fully understand it all you must pick up "Hitting the Right Note" to see just how this author presents it so well to the reader.

The characters were simply off the chart good ...well developed, real, believable, well portrayed, colorful along with being so captivating presenting to the reader such a fascinating amazing emotional read.

When you get to the ending of "Hitting the Right Note" you are only left saying Wow that was some powerful read and Yes.....'will be hitting all the right notes!' I thought that "Hitting the Right Note" was a excellent good Christian read and that I would definitely recommend.… (mais)

Nothing really surprising or unique, but still an enjoyable read. Experiencing the growing romance between the sassy Toni and the stubborn Adam was a lot of fun. All of the characters were well-developed and several could be protagonists in their own right. The plot was pretty predictable, but most romances are and that’s what makes them comfortable reads. The faith elements were compelling and not too preachy. For the most part, the Christian components fell together naturally. Only occasionally did they seem forced. It wasn’t a rip-roaring page-turner, but it was a nice read.… (mais)
