Official Review: Not the Same Water by Karen Black

[Chrystal Oaks]

This historical romance novel set during 1890s where the female protagonist achieves her dream as a trauma surgeon amidst bloody conflicts and turmoil sounds compelling. I'm looking forward to reading it. Great review!

In love with marine tales..the mystery that bounds two souls together..souls that have critical choices in sacrifice for love...interesting!

Historical romances are not necessarily my cup of tea, so I won't be reading this book. However, Ms. Black's writing style is very fetching as I found from reading the first several pages. I congratulate her on her accomplishment and for receiving BOTD honors.

A fantastic historical romance book "Not the Same Water" by Karen Black, which revolves around Becky, who goes on an exciting day cruise with her best friends without a male escort in the year 1890. Becky comes closer to Bill when he recuses her from a sudden storm. The book looks very much entertaining to me.

Seems like a pretty soothing read. I am eager to know more about what happened with Bill and Becky and do they ever find each other or not! Thank you for a detailed and convincing review.

An historical fiction where the women plays the important part and breaks the norm is always interesting to read. Thanks for the review!

I think the author did a great job creating the characters. First of all, I am thinking of Becky and her ideal of dedication to the medical profession, despite all the limitations that followed the lady at the end of the 19th century.

Usually, I would have been delighted to read historical romance book, but unfortunately even though I am not easily scared this book is related to my only phobia to be caught in the sudden storm at the sea. I would hate to picture myself a visual of it, so I will have to skip this book. Sorry and congrats with BOTD!

Hey, hang on! I grew up in a world without cell phones and the internet and I assure you that I'm not over 130 years old. Seriously though, unlike you, I think I would enjoy the aspects of this novel that require you to double check dates. That's an indicator of a good historical book, fictional though it may be.

Set in 1890, fans of historical fiction and romance will love today's BOTD that tells the story of a brave woman's quest to find both love and success. Although it's not the one for me, the vivid descriptions and well-developed characters do not disappoint. They are sure to keep readers turning pages. Thank you so much for your review and keep up the great work!!

[Lauren Hanna]

I agree with you that the element of surprise at the end of a book is so important. This sounds like an interesting read though. Thank you for your honest review.

I'm yet to read a romance story that began in the sea and this could not be a more inviting book. Thanks for the review.

[Ngozi Onyibor]

I adore romance novels regardless of the cliches. So I will definitely be checking this one out.

For lovers of historical romance novels, especially those taking place in the late 19th century, Black's book looks absolutely amazing.
