Book Description

June 2003
A GOOD MAN...

Holt Price had come to Galveston in search of the woman he loved. After the pain, the heartbreak, the terrible devastation of war, he was ready to settle down with the green-eyed beauty he'd pledged to marry. Instead, he found himself gazing into a pair of vulnerable brown eyes that made him long to heal the hurt inside, to bury himself in the softness of a girl who was not his to take.

IS HARD TO FIND

Her mother had always told her she was born to be cherished. But first battles, then duty, then poverty had stolen her chances of happiness. At 26, she was beginning to wonder if she would have to settle for the next man who came along, or reconcile herself to living alone. So how could she turn away from the lover she'd been waiting for all her life? At last, after so many Mr. Wrongs, here was a husband she could honor, the other half of herself, the man she was born to love.

This is #3 in Night Riders Series.

4.0 out of 5 stars fine post Civil War romance, June 16, 2003
This review is from: Born to Love (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1867, Holt Price plans to never work as a doctor again as he lives the horror of butcher assembly line surgical conditions caused by the Civil War bloodbath. All he wants is to forget the atrocities and medicine, and find his beloved and marry her. However, he cannot ignore his need for vengeance against the traitor who sold out his unit, leading to a slaughter.

In Galveston, Holt gets involved in the surgery of an accident victim with a spoke stuck through his leg. The town physician Dr. Moore never worked this type of accident besides which he is drunk. At Moore's office, Holt meets his medical peer's daughter Felicity, who helps. They are attracted to one another, but she fears he will expose her father as an alcoholic and he fears getting entangled with her as his own father was a drunk.

This fine post Civil War romance emphasizes the traumas and healing of people trying to regain equilibrium after the world went berserk for a few years. Trying to cope with alcoholism is brilliantly handled though why Felicity thinks no one knows her dad is a drunk seems like too much rationalizing. Leigh Greenwood continues to write some of the strongest historical romances of the past decade; BORN TO LOVE is further proof of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love author, August 24, 2011

This review is from: Born to Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Leigh Greenwood stories. This one was great that it followed the Night Riders series, as I love the romance books that have more than one story like his cowboy series. Little predicitable but what romance isn't. It kept me entertained and like the way he writes. Good book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very light-hearted!, July 26, 2003
This review is from: Born to Love (Mass Market Paperback)
Not a bad romance though I found it way to predictable. I am used to being able to predict stories but this one I saw everything coming to the point that I found it boring.

It did do a good job dealing with Alcoholism and co-dependency though which I thought was interesting in a romance story.

I guess my biggest disappointment is that I usually like romance stories to also make me laugh and enjoy the writing.
