Fireworks




Susannah is out to prove that pyrotechnics genius Quinn Baldwinis responsible for a million-dollar fireworks catastrophe during a Mardi Gras ball. With her faithful black Lab Monty she moves to the charming backwater city of Mobile, Alabama to uncover the truth. But this world-traveled military brat with a string of letters behind her name finds herself wholly unprepared to navigate the cultural quagmires of the Deep South. Captivated by the warmth and joy of her new circle of friends, Susannah struggles to keep from falling for a subject who refuses to be anything but a man of integrity, compassion, and lethal Southern charm. Fireworks offers a glimpse into heart of the South and a cynical young woman’s first encounter with Christ-like love.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Stars If I want a sermon I’ll go to church
I’ve read several of the Christian lit selections because they were free. For the most part they’re not good stories. Fireworks is one of the ones that is not good. The story suffers because the author is more concerned with preaching her message than she is developing a story. As for the story that is there, I did not buy the conversion of Susannah. It was too neat, too easy. A more interesting and believable conversion experience would have been the backstory of Quinn Campbell. If the author had given us that story in detail and not just skimmed over it as something that happened in his past I think it would have been a much more interesting read. I can see how a person like him, who sees his father murder his mother, who loses his sister, who becomes homeless and lives on the docks would be so overwhelmed by circumstances that he would turn to God. However, I doubt Ms. White could tell that story very well. She would be more interested in quoting Scripture than exploring the psychology of what motivated Quinn.

3 Stars Suprised to find this to be a Christian book.
I had no idea when I purchased this book that it was Christian in any way, but there is no doubt now that I have finished it that there is definately a southern Christian influence. Don’t get me wrong I liked the book and I am a Christian myself I was just suprised to find it to be such when nothing I read indicated that it was. Good romance story not your typical that is for sure, but all the same good.

4 Stars Good Clean Read
ok I’ve got 2 say this wasn’t the type of book that you just can’t put down. It was a little slow at times, but, I have to disagree with the negative reviewers that get the book for FREE then complain that the book was too religous. It was Free….If you think it’s boring or has too many references to the bible then just delete it. You have not lost anything, it was FREE. I myself like to read about characters who have strong christian values. I don’t want to read smut and read cursing, ect. The story makes me desire to be more fruitful in my christian walk, like the characters in this book, instead of standing on the sideline and just saying “I’m a christian”. Reading the story made me desire to have that joy of leading someone to the Lord. All heaven rejoices when one soul comes to the Truth & knowledge of Christ. I admire the author for writting a faith based book. And by the way, I also disagree with one of the reviewer who said that it was too easy when Susannah gave her life over to God. It is easy coming to Jesus. It was for me anyway. I was wild & carefree and I didn’t need anyone. I had my whole life under control, so I thought, but the Holy spirit spoke to my heart, alot like Susannah in this book. So I do know for a fact that you can be heading one direction and then God can do a “Suddenly” and totally tur you around.

2 Stars Skim if you must but don’t read!
I got this book free on Kindle and I was really disappointed with it. I read the first few chapters and was pretty bored. So I skimmed the rest of the book. Skimming the book and getting it for free is the only reason why I gave it two stars.

The good: The only really good thing about this book is that it’s clean.

The bad: The characters in this book were completely two dimensional and unbelievable. Susannah supposedly had a Masters in chemistry but she didn’t sound intelligent and did some pretty stupid things in the book. She was a horrible investigator. Her love interest was insanely perfect and therefore annoying. The dialog felt forced most of the time and was very unrealistic. I laughed a lot while reading this book (and it wasn’t at parts that were meant to be funny). The book came off as way too “preachy” for my taste. The storyline fell flat in my opinion.

I would not recommend reading this book. Skim it if you’re insanely bored and you can get this book free… But do so at your own risk!

3 Stars FIREWORKS
I ENJOYED THE BOOK. LOVED THE SMALL TOWN FOLKSY PEOPLE AND THE WAY THEY SUPPORTED EACH OTHER. OF COURSE, I WOULD HAVE LOVED A BIT OF SEX THROWN IT BUT ALAS! IT WASNT TO BE……..

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars okay but really for dummies
This book is really basic. So if you know anything about finances you should go with a more advanced book. The resources and websites are really useful, but if you need this book than you probably better off taking it out of your library than purchasing it if you get my drift.

5 Stars Comprehensive!
Big book full of sound financial advise. Oh, to be disciplined enough to follow it.

5 Stars Managing Your Money for Dummies - Must Have!
This book is exactly what I was looking for. I really like that this is a collection of 7 books, covering a number of topics. I needed a guide to help me with my personal finances- how to save, how to spend, and managing a personal budget. There is a lot of other great advice in here, including tips of managing your credit, determining how to save for the things you want and need, and how you can have a better relationship with money, creating a positive experience in money management as opposed to the stress many people feel when they manage their finances. I think this book is a must have!

5 Stars Get the biggest bang for your buck by purchasing this book
“Managing Your Money All-In-One For Dummies” is a compilation of the works of eleven authors. For example, Kathleen Sindell, Ph.D. has rewritten and updated five chapters from “Managing Your Money Online For Dummies” for inclusion in “Managing Your Money All-In-One for Dummies”. These chapters include:

Using the Internet to Help Manage Your Finances

Working With an Online Broker

Online Banking

Online Retirement Planning

Estate Planning Online

To sum it up, “Managing Your Money All-In-One For Dummies” is perfect for someone who wants to get control of their personal finances.

2 Stars Maybe good for dummies?
I bought this book to help educate my significant other about the world of money and where they are going. After I cracked it open on a few different chapters, I realized that this book is pretty high level overview and restates common sense. It has very little detailed info on any of the topics and it reads almost as a 700 pages long “would be nice todo list” with almost no “how-to manual”.

You may use it as a reference which forces you to go online and research a topic there in more detail, but then what is the point of the 700 page book?

Added chapters about doing things like banking, financial planning etc online is another mentioning of what normal people already know, and probably wont help you much unless you lived in a cave for the past 15 years and completely missed out on the internet phenomenon.

I will return this book and look for something better on the topic.
