ASC Book Reviews's Reviews > Courting Cate

I have always loved Taming of the Shrew and Amish fiction. So when I found a book that combined both of them I was SO excited!

Taming of the Shrew is my favorite Shakespearean work. I have always felt a connection to the character Kate, and the same is with Leslie's rendition. Actually I loved Courting Cate even more than Taming of the Shrew, because it is written in Cate's perspective. The kinship I have always felt with Cate grew by leaps and bounds while reading her thoughts and feelings. Leslie has made it onto my favorite authors list and Courting Cate has made onto my FAVORITE books list! This is a fabulous story, told in a beautiful way. The pace is set with NO lulls and FULL of great scenes; and a few twists! I didn't want to put this book down and I read way past/or right to midnight on more than one night before making myself go to sleep. Then I picked it back up and read through out the day!!! Every emotion resonated within my chest as I read through everything Cate and Pete goes through, because Leslie writes in such an emotional way. Courting Cate shows you that if you find God's love first; other loves are truer and stronger. This is a MUST READ!!! Wonderful, simply wonderful!

My songs are: "Be Be Your Love" by Rachael Yamagata, "Pass Me Not" by The Cluster Pluckers, and "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer (love this song for this book because it reminds me of "KISS ME KATE!" :) )
