Introduction
The first two books I ever read by Janette Oke were the second and third books in her “Love Comes Softly” series. I had purchased them not realizing there was another book set before them.
Pros: Written with careful attention to details, and strong, realistic, yet vulnerable characters Cons: None
...you don't always hear the knock.
This book was given to me years ago by my godmother, but I never read it until a couple of nights ago. I read it for comfort after choking forth several sweaty, tearful prayers. I'd just found out that the...
Pros: Wonderful Christian series Cons: I want more and more sequels
I got aquainted with this author, Janette Oke, several years ago and this series of books was the first ones I ever read that had me so addicted to someone's style and wonderful story telling. Her first book in the series was published in 1979. I love...
I first read the Love Comes Softly series when I was a teenager and I feel in love then. Even now, 10 years later I still love all eight of these books. Set in the late 1800s, this story involves a young pregnant woman who, when her husband is...
Pros: very inspiring; 7 books to follow this one.. all equally fantastic Cons: I became so attached to Clark and Marty that I couldn't bear to finish the eight stories.. I am still re-reading them, 12 years later
I have always loved to read. I could never get enough of great children's books as a kid.. but I distinctly remember gingerly crossing the literary bridge into quality 'grown-up' books. I believe I was in the 8th grade. As much as I loved Laura Ingalls...
Pros: keeps your interest, great style of writing, makes you feel "part" of the story Cons: honestly, none!
My dad first bought me this book about 10 years ago. It came in a set with 4 other books. Since then, I've read every book of hers that I can find. She is a wonderful Author, with a style of writing that takes you right into the story!! Set back in the...
Of all the Oke books I have read, I believe that Love Comes Softly will always remain my favorite, due to its touching telling of Clark and Marty Davis, a simple couple who deal with their trails and burdens through the grace of God.
Pros: Very realistic. Great love story that will make you want to help these two people. Cons: Heart wrenching.
I feel so bad for these two people. This isn't my usual type of Romance, but it is very good. Oke is a very inspirational writer that touches the heart. This is a story set in the old west.
Pros: beautifully written, excellent morals, and inspiring to all who read it Cons: After 8 books, it had to end sometime...
This was the first book of Janette Oke's that I ever read, and I must say that it is a terrific read. I'd never read "inspirational" fiction before, but this story hooked me. Now I devour Janette's stories like chocolate! This book has it...

Pros: Marty and Clark are great characters,and the story goes on in ten wonderful books Cons: she stop writing about them.
I order all the books through a book club. I never heard of Janette Oke before. They must of snicker at me, because when I send my payment,I was wanting to know if there was more written about Marty and Clark? Then after a few more books, and her other...
Pros: Wonderful books with solid Christian values! Cons: Zero!
In a world filled with Harlequins, Love Comes Softly will touch your heart, make you laugh and cry, and will provide strong, Christian values that are sadly lacking in today's society. This book is set back in the late 1800's, when wagon trains were...
