Plots and Pans Kelly Eileen Hake 9781620299586 Books

“Plots and Pans” by Kelly Eileen Hake is a book that was an emotional roller coaster for too many times I cried broken up with laughing out loud. Because I always rate higher when I believe that a book rate a half star, which is why this book rated 5 stars. I would give this book a solid 4.5 stars if I could for there were a few things that weren't addressed and I will explain that later though.

I really did enjoy the book without a doubt, for it touched on issues that would be complex for the time, and I enjoyed the way it was handled. Racial issues at the times where a tricky thing, and frankly I loved how it was handled.

There is actually two romances going on in the story that we thankfully get to see through for the most part. There is one romance where the reader must use their imagination to think about what happens from the end of the book. The other romance between Jessalyn and Tucker is full antagonism, eating of shoe leather (at times I could almost taste the dusty leather myself) and humor. At one point I was surprised that Jessalyn didn't do something physical to Tucker when he stuck his foot so far in his mouth that it was nearly touching his stomach. This romance was different than a lot of romances for there was no acknowledging of an attraction even to themselves, though others, such as the reader, could see sparks flying at times.

Tucker is a man who is working hard to make sure that everything around him is as safe as possible for all those around him. He tries to control everything he can and really hates when things go outside of his comfort level of uncontrollable. He knows that there are always things that are out of his control on the ranch and he has learn to live with those but anything else, he then tries even harder to fight for control. He is a kind hearted man that is for sure, who is willing to allow drifters who are willing to do work in exchange for room and board in the bunkhouse. Also he has a flaw that I could see some of my friends relating to since he didn't seem to function without his coffee, and everyone around him knew it too.

Jessalyn is a woman who only wants to be home and to feel useful and wanted. She doesn't always think things through, but at the same time she knows when to back down and when to push forward. Her heart is soft and tender, who is willing to put up with things if there was something good that would come out of it for someone else that she cares about. She is a hard worker, has a quick wit, and comfortable with who she is.

Pretty much this story deals with just a very basic human need, and that is to belong somewhere and to be wanted. This is something that a couple of the characters are feeling, for completely different reasons that is for sure. The whole story moved at a pretty quick pace that is for sure, with the different feelings that the three main characters have, the struggles of trying to feel as if they belong, and wanted.

There is no villain, and this is where I have an issue with the book. The conflict is that a character or two have feelings of guilt, that is deep seeded, that is never resolved. The readers are not shown if they ever accepted what happened to cause the guilt. And if they did, the readers never saw how that changed their views about different things. It is this guilt that has made the character or characters the way he/she is and why he/she acts that way. I thought that this guilt was something that should have been resolved by the end of the story.

I was slightly disappointed by the end of the story for it seemed so rushed almost as if either Ms. Hake or her editor thought that they hit the word limit, so they had to rush the end. I so completely enjoyed this story and was disappointed with that ending.

The two issues are easy to overlook for me, since the rest of the book was really good. I hope all who read this book enjoy it as much as I did.

Plots and Pans Kelly Eileen Hake 9781620299586 Books Reviews

I read a lot of Christian Fiction, and this one seemed average. It was predictable, did not go into certain areas of the plot I hoped it would go towards, and seemed cut short. I have read a lot of both Hakes' works, but this one was okay.
Having read most of this authors books,I have to say I was somewhat disappointed. The first two thirds of the book was mostly all internal dialog,and very little actual conversation.
The story just didn't flow for me,however I did enjoy the little bit that was the romance part. Hopefully next next book in the series is better.
This book is the perfect example of why I love books by Kelly Eileen Hake. She has combined humor, real life situations and romance into one of her best books, in Plots and Pans. This book is marvelous! It kept my attention each step of the way. Between humor, laughs and tears, I felt I was right there living out details with each character in the script. Hooray! I feel sure that other readers will enjoy this book just as much as I did.
A very good read about the frontier and all that made up that way of life. It took lot of hard work and determination with a whole lot of faith and trust in God. I don't see how you could be happy and survive without God being the center of your life.I have enjoyed every book of
Kelly Eileen Hake's books I have read in the past. This is the first I have read on my kindle. I have all the others in paper book form, which
I like very much. I would recommend her books to everyone.
Sent away from home after causing an accident that injured her father, Jessalynn returns when she learns of her father death. She's been gone for years, most of the time in trouble because she couldn't behave as people thought she should.

Tucker has spent years working for Jessalynn's father. Now that he is gone, he has to decide wether to accept the offer of partnership of the ranch with Jessalynn's brother, aunt and Jessalynn herself.
I liked this story but at several points however it seemed to drag on and I would skip pages until it got interesting again without missing any of the story. There were to many descriptions and not enough plot despite the title.

It's clean and it's fun to go on Jess and Tucker's journey to love but I feel like the romance wasn't really the highlight of this book. It was more about acceptance.

I do recommend it but it is a long read and took me longer than normal to finish a book of this size.

Rating PG

Medium to Low Re-Readability
Good book with the potential of being a great book. The writing style was difficult to follow. The book has three main characters Tucker, ranch foreman and part owner, Jessalyn, who's father sent her to school in England when she was 12 years old to keep her safe from ranch life, and Desta, a former slave turned aunt after her half brother, Jessalyn's father, discovered they had the same father. All three characters share their point of view throughout the story. There's not enough one-on-one dialog between characters. The majority of the book occurs in the characters thoughts.

As previously mentioned, the potential for a great book is there. The storyline is new and fresh. There's actually two stories in one Jess returning home to the ranch after having been away for seven years, returns after she learns of her fathers death. She's desperate to belong. She stubborn, strong willed, and determined to be one of the men. Tucker is ranch foreman and part owner. He does everything possible to keep control and keep Jess safe. Desta, a half white half black former slave turned aunt and part ranch owner shares what it was like growing up.

The first half of the book is more fluff and three different points of view of the same situation. The last half, where most of the action takes place, ends up feeling rushed and underdeveloped. If you're looking for romance there's two Tucker and Jess and Ralph and Desta. However there's not a lot of chemistry. The one and only kiss occurred on the last page.
