I was disappointed in this book. Usually I really like this author’s stories, but this time I was not in line with some of the values presented. Also I saw more editorial errors than in previous books; misused pronouns, etc. Hoping for better in her next book I read.
Samantha Jones has no choice but to travel to her brother after her father succumbs to his illness. Her travels put her in the path of Jasper Sherman. Wonderful historical romance that will keep you captivated!
Good historical Christian romance! The journey from Oldstone to
Tanbutte was full of action. Liked the premise and storyline. Tale dragged in places and things were repeated more often than needed.
Awesome read. Loved it. Her parents died so the only place for her is at her brother’s ranch which means she will be doing a lot of traveling. One of them was on a train. Which robbers held up. A man helped her get into the woods to hide. And also said he would help her get to her brother’s. But he has secrets and they eventually come out. And then what happens. Especially now that they have somewhat of a relationship. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
I’m going to be honest and say this was not one of my favorite Carol Colyer books. I feel it was a little slow and her female lead was weaker than the author normally makes them. There are some aspects that I question considering the mores of the times. The basic story is good and I enjoyed it. Although he isn’t a traditional “good” guy I liked Jasper, I feel he was doing his best based on what he knew. I look forward to reading more by this author.
This story was so well written with characters that were so well created that Samantha and Jasper’s chemistry kept me totally enthralled as I turned each and every page until the very end!
