Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not to be missed - terrific story - strong self assured characters
This novel fulfilled my admittedly high expectations after reading the author's other books (Legacy of Love and Under the Witness Tree). The main characters are fully developed and wonderfully human. I love how the author lets the reader see the motivations that lead the characters to take the path that they do. Toward the end of the novel a devastating event occurs to (not directly to the main characters) that impacts everyone including the reader. I totally loved both Connie and Kasey - two ... Read More
Rating: - It would have been more, but five stars is all they had!!!
As I concluded the last words of "Love in the Balance" my mind was swirling from all that I had read. Marianne Martin's wit, insights and the beauty of her phrasing and just the intensity of this love story between Connie Bradford and Kasey Hollander were a delight to me. But the underlying message that I believe is most important of all, is directed toward the most sought after object of humanity - happiness. Yet it cannot be possessed. Because it is a state of being one may only enter upon receiving ... Read More
Rating: - This Book Screams For A Sequel...
I'll put this very succinctly... I want more. I read this book in an evening. My children were running through the house and the dog was barking, but I was so engrossed in this story I didn't notice a thing. This was my first Martin read and I can't wait to read her others.
Connie is a strong woman who appears mousey, but comes into her own and blossoms after meeting Kasey. Kasey appears strong, but her weaknesses surface after meeting Connie. They feel an immediate attraction, but take ... Read More
Rating: - A romantic tour de force ! Highly Recommended
Such moments are rare indeed these days when one takes a book in the hand and is completely captivated by it after reading the first few pages. That happened to me recently when I started reading " Love In The Balance " by Marianne K. Martin. It is this tenderness of feeling, this feeling of "love" of which the novel is so full of, which moves me. For the violence that plays the secondary role in the novel, it is this abundant feeling of tenderness in the novel that the reader feels for the people, for Kasey, ... Read More
Rating:  - Highly Recommended!
Connie Bradford and Kasey Hollander feel like real people with real issues and real lives. Both women are dealing with frustrating problems--Connie with a selfish pig of a boyfriend, and Kasey with the memory of love betrayed. Neither one of them has any idea how important the other will become as they begin to lean on one another to face difficult times.
Marianne Martin has a wonderful way with characters, relationships, and with the smooth-moving plot. It's no wonder that she is one of the most popular ... Read More
