Under Eastern Stars

I enjoyed this book much more than the first novel in the "Heart of India" series, "Silk", probably because of the wonderful interactions between Coral and Jace. Their chemistry almost jumps off the page! I loved the way these two characters were written, and the last half of the book was almost impossible to put down. As with the first book, though, the story can be a bit confusing, unless you're a master at remembering names and events. I found this book less confusing than the first, however, and much easier to read. I would definitely recommend this series, though, in spite of its flaws!

In this 2nd book of HEART OF INDIA series, Coral Kendall goes home to India to journey through the jungles to get home to her mother and to start a school for the untouchables. Coral is also still searching for Gem, the little boy she adopted and who was kidnapped and presumed dead. To find Gem she enlists the help of the mysterious Jace Buckley. Will Jace ever find Gem's whereabouts? Will her uncle Hugo somehow stop them from finding him? A great book about the jungles of India and the dangers found there. You will be breathless to the end. Adventure, romance and danger...what more do you want? Great book about God's love and how He cares about even the most seemingly hopeless people. Another winner by Linda Chaikin!

I read this book in a single day. I was completely unable to put it down. It drew me in and made me feel like I was one of the characters in the complex plot. I would definitely recommend it, but make sure to read book 1 first, so you know the history of everything that happens.

I agree completely, this is no less than a 5 star book. It has everything you could want, history, intrigue, romance, adventure, great lessons... I mean what more do you want in a book? :) Note: this book is a perfect "rainy day" kind of read. I'd give the book 10 stars, but that's not an option I see...;)

Who could ever give this book less than five stars? It is probably one of my totally favorite books in the world. I don't have much time to give you the scoop, but I would really like to encourage you to read this book. I loved it!
