• Your Place or Mine on Aug. 01, 2010
  
  Craver pens a feisty contemporary tale of dating and falling in love with "Your Place or Mine." Blake Smith is in the market for a house. So is Sydney Smith, no relation to Blake. Imagine their surprise when the realtor schedules them to see the house together. Can Blake and Sydney work out a win-win situation? Blake Smith is a widower with a young son who is looking to move into a house. Sydney is single and looking for a change. She decides to buy a house. The realtor mistakes them for being married and invites them to see the house at the same time. Blake and Sydney make the best of the situation, since the house is a duple. However, there's no denying the chemistry between the two. Blake proposes they each move into one side of the duplex. Sydney hardly knows Blake and has some reservations, especially when she knows she wants to kiss him senseless. She proposes a set of rules for her and Blake should they go through and buy the house. Blake stresses he wants a platonic relationship and agrees to the rules. Can Blake and Sydney keep the sparks at bay once they move in together? Craver's writing is crisp and spot on. The dialogue is modern and witty. The plot flows smoothly and keeps the reader cheering for Blake and Sydney. The writing alludes to a deeper premise – when you meet the one you're going to spend the rest of your life you just "know." The story is sophisticated for readers. Craver's love scenes are graphic and tasteful. Overall, "Your Place or Mine" is a nice romantic getaway.
  
• Protect The Heart on Aug. 05, 2010
  
  "Protect the Heart" offers a sweet, endearing look at life, love, and heartbreak during war time. Set between Idaho and a war zone, four young adults exchange a series of letters which are raw, full of longing, hope, and gives glimpses into their complex lives. The novel opens with Cameron giving Abraham a ride into town before they head out to join the military and go to war. Cameron meets Maura and asks her to marry him. She declines, not wanting to be a "war" bride. Abraham visits Sadie. He also declines her advances. Cameron and Sadie nurse their heartbreak by spending the night together. After the men leave, Maura works hard at the widowed/unmarried mothers and injured soldiers home. She finds the work rewarding, yet tiring. On her off time, Maura writes letters to Cameron to keep his spirits up. Soon, Sadie seeks out Maura and confesses to her that she's pregnant. Maura assumes Abraham is the father and writes to him. Abraham is surprised to get a letter from her. The misunderstanding is quickly straightened out and Sadie begins writing Cameron. They plan their future. Through the exchange of letters, Cameron, Sadie, Maura, and Abraham really get to know one another, as does the reader. War, however, is never predictable and it will take the four young adults down a path they didn't expect. The story flows well. Hunsaker's literary voice and writing style shines in the exchange of letters between Cameron, Sadie, Maura, and Abraham. Hunsaker uses old-fashioned terms to describe the setting in Idaho, but refers to dirt, dust, and Humvees, (more modern terms) when referring to Cameron and Abraham's setting. Where and when the story happens is hard for the reader to pin down. The characterization is wonderful and really pulls the reader in. Each character has highs and lows, traits to be admired, and flaws that will break the reader's heart. Cameron loves life and wants to do the right thing even when it's hard. He joins the military and admits his paternity. Sadie has a good heart and is a big help to Maura, but her mistake makes life tougher for her. Abraham is the strong, silent type, but not as articulate with his feelings as Cameron is. Maura has strong will. She cares for everyone, but puts her own needs and wants aside to help others. The story is sweet for romance readers with only kisses exchanged between the couples. "Protect The Heart" is a story about hardship, endurance, and the power of love.
