Customer Reviews

Fun

Gravel Queen is a fun, loving book about first love feelings. Some of it is a little over the top, in the realm of magical. While other novelslike "Keeping You a Secret" is more in depth and real, Gravel is still good.

Excellent Book

This is a very tender caring book which was certainly written by a caring loving Person. It becomes a page turner. It teaches us to care for one another, forgive and share. Refreshing and confident. Wonderfully written. We need more writers like Tea.

A touching romance, a good story

Aurin and her two friends have a nice comfortable friendship in their teen world, in Greensboro, North Carolina. When new girl Neila arrives, her liveliness and fun, are an instant attraction to Aurin. How Aurin manages to bring Neila into her life, and still keep her friendships, keeps you reading. This is a sweet, touching romance, realistic, with nice touches of humour. Author Benduhn insists this story could have happened for real, and most of it seems credible. The ending is definitely satisfying. A delightful, thoughtful novel.

Excellent book

Gravel Queen is a smooth, flawless, entertaining and caring book. One can easily find oneself relating to the situations and characters in Gravel Queen. That is only one thing that makes this a GREAT Debut Book by an outstanding Author who I'm sure will be heard from again and again . There is Love, Kindness, humour and sensitivity and caring with a touch of cynical in parts that has to fill one's spirit. This great talent- Tea -is about to be a beacon to others.JoeB
