This book had a lot of potential but i just couldn't like it. It was a good beginning and I liked the characters rather well at the beginning but as it went on I felt like the story was being dragged out to make it meet some kind of limit of pages. There were good themes going on in some of the book but I didn't care for the the crude language and insinuations in others. Especially as this one was touted as a "Christian " book. The conclusion was good but it took FOREVER to get to it and I had already figured it out by time I had read half of the book. If the author would have written this book in a more concise manner I think I would have enjoyed it more, but I highly doubt I will read any others written by Jackie Smith. I will not be recommending this book either for the reasons listed above, which makes me sad as I would love to help a newer author gain a good standing in the literary world. But my conscience won't allow it. Please try again Ms. Smith and perhaps you story will be better next time.

This is a good sweet Christian Fiction Romance book about believing the unbelievable and taking a chance on love. Martin Richards and Christina Warner meet and have a surprisingly love for farming-- Is this a match made in Heaven? Are they soulmates? Is an angel playing matchmaker? And what happens to Jenny the abandoned 4 year old?
My grade for this book is an A plus.

Old Fashioned Girl is an immensely abundantly enjoyable book to read. I cannot say enough or express myself how much I love this book. I love Supernatural writings because I truly believe that we do live with Angels/demons in this world. This story has a child as well who touches the heart and who cannot afford to have their heart touched - this author makes you feel like you are vested into the characters and that shows how well the writing is - you keep the book with you wherever you go. There is a romance - but isn't there always -this one is a little different - let me tell you how ........................................nah you have to find out for yourself.

Old Fashioned Girl

by Jackie Smith

Black Rose Writing

Christian , Romance

Pub Date 18 May 2017

I am reviewing a copy of Old Fashioned Girl through the Black Rose Writing and Netgalley:

His name is Martin, he is a handsome, young building contractor. She likes to read the classics and is beautiful. She likes writing and receiving old Fashioned letters written on stationary. Her name is Elizabeth. She doesn't own a phone.

Soon a four year old girl named Jenny comes into the picture. A young girl whose Mother ran into a situation and asks them to watch her until she can come back.

I give Old Fashioned Girl five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!

a well written good read

This is such an amazing story. Seeing God's hand in the lives of people joining the dots. Encouraging to see how God leads & guides people. A reminder to acknowledge God in all that we're doing

A very well written book. I throughly enjoyed the plot and the characters. A new to me author with a great writing style. I recommend this book.
