When the World is Right |
| Reviewed by Katherine at Joyfully Reviewed.com |
| Review: When the World is Right is a reflective story of a man very much in love with his wife, and hoping they can work through their problems. There is more introspection and flashbacks than interaction between Brian and Casey, but given the length of the story, it worked perfectly. |

| Review: "When the World is Right,' gets contemporary romance just so cuddly-right! The cover image says it all, from contemplative man to round-eyed kitten. Brian is admirably (although apparently slowly) sensitive, and Casey, the upset wife might give you a little glint of self-recognition. The overall warmth of this story is carefully supported by the physical descriptions within. The snowy day, the warmth of the Dutch colonial architecture, and even the little calico kitten contribute to the heartwarming aura. The writing is vibrant and descriptive and places the reader right into each scene. This is the ultimate feel-good romance; I'll be looking for Hoornstra's next. |

| Review: I really enjoyed this short read by Ms. Hoornstra. The characters were both very real and extremely believable. I felt equally bad for both Brian and Casey . . .I would definitely look into reading more work from this author. |

| Review: A romantic day window shopping and dreaming of the future turns into a huge argument for Brian and Casey Hawthorn. She asks him to buy a kitten. Without thought his fears kick in and come out his mouth. Her reaction follows and he ends up walking out. After a night in a motel he's at the door with a gift, hoping she'll be able to forgive him and take him back. Margo Hoornstra seems to be reminding us how easily simple things can turn into major battles between people. Most couples can probably relate to the situation of the characters. Dreaming of the future seems to be easy until that next step of actual commitment faces Brian. The kitten was a simple thing but Brian had to confront his fears and insecurities about much more than just a little four legged fur ball. A night of separation seems to be just the thing for him. This is a well told tale of a man facing his fears in a good way. |
