Smiling Eyes
is what our main characters have for each other from the first time they
meet. Lizzy and Adam are two of the sweetest characters you will come
across, and Adelle Laudan shows us how you can find something wonderful in
the midst of a horrible situation. She does an excellent job of letting us
peak into the lives of Adam and Lizzy and find out who they are.
Lizzy has had a very sheltered life even
with the exposure to her ruthless step-father. The love she has always
gotten from her mother has always insulated her. The only thing she loves
more in the world is her music, until she gets close to Adam.
Adam is the town’s handyman and has always
admired Lizzy but due to his nervousness around women has never gotten up
enough courage to speak to her. This is all changed when Lizzy’s mom is
killed in a horrific accident and Lizzy comes to him for help in fixing up a
new place to live.
These two characters make you feel good
about life just reading the story. Adam is the most wonderful caring man
imaginable. Lizzy can’t help but all in love with him and his caring ways.
He shows her that all men are not like her step-father and teaches her what
love is.
I really enjoyed Smiling Eyes by
Adelle Laudan. It was a very fast paced read with some suspense thrown into
this sweet contemporary book. Lizzy’s step-father is a horrible and almost
ruthless character – just oozing evil. But Adam is definitely the knight in
shining armor to Lizzy’s damsel in distress and you know that good has to
win out over evil. I highly recommend this charming book you won’t be
disappointed.
