Title: Splitting Harriet.Author: Tamara Leigh.
Genre: Christian, Fiction, Romance.
Plot: Harriet was once a rebel. Now she's a reformed rebel working as a waitress and very involved in the church her father helped build. But with a new pastor, changes are just around the corner and changes are something Harriet doesn't handle very well. When one of those changes includes a motorcycle-riding ex-rebel consultant to help revive the "dying" church, Harriet finds herself facing her past in a very head-on, slightly attractive way. And she's scared silly that she'll end up down the same road again. But will she?
Likes/Dislikes: I didn't really like that the whole central theme of this book involved reviving interest in a church. Going to church shouldn't be about what music is playing. The people in this book were more concerned with all the activities going on, with the music at the two services and getting attendance numbers to soar. It was already a large church to begin with. Additionally, Harriet whined constantly about everything, especially her irrational fears of becoming a rebel again. And when she was a rebel, she seemed to lack the drive for it. Her being a rebel wasn't very convincing at all. On the other hand, I loved how Maddox wooed her with patience and jelly beans. It was a sweet touch. Though if you're suffering from morning sickness while reading this {like I was}, then the descriptions of the jelly beans might upset you further.
Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level.
