Brad will stop at nothing to gain ownership of Black Rock Ranch and make Roxanne his wife, including murder.

This review is from: Black Rock: A Time For Love (Kindle Edition)

E. G. Parsons' new release, Black Rock: A Time for Love is a sweeping tale of love, deceit, and a woman caught between two different worlds. After her father's death, twenty-one-year old Roxanne returns from a girl's school in Boston to Wild Rose, Texas to take over operation of the family ranch. Crushed by grief, it would seem Roxanne has enough to deal with but her troubles have only just begun. Headstrong and capable as she is beautiful, Roxanne soon encounters ruggedly handsome Collin and is hard pressed to resist the attraction she feels for this rude, roguish man. But Collin is not all that he appears on the surface.
I found myself turning pages at breakneck speed as their romance unfolded against incredible odds and the astonishing truth of Roxanne's past was revealed. E.G. Parsons' knowledge of the 1800s is unparalleled. Combined with her brilliant imagination and flair for creating living, breathing characters, she once again holds her readers spellbound and begging for more. Black Rock: A Time for Love is a winner!

This review is from: Black Rock: A Time For Love (Kindle Edition)

I never thought I'd enjoy a romance story, but enjoyed other books by this author and thought I'd try this one. I wasn't sorry. Roxanne and Collin's story was intriguing and different than some time travels I've read. There was plenty of suspense and sizzling love scenes to keep me entertained and I even got misty eyed while reading the last chapter. I'll be watching for more from Ms. Parsons.
