The McGillinen family is wonderful! This book is funny, warm, romantic with plenty of adventure and face paced action. Braden loses his heart to Kerry who is as kind as she is beautiful. His son Benett, by his first marrige, is adorable. Kerry's protective big brothers are funny and tender as they hover over her not too sure about the 'Brit' who has stolen her heart. The villian is wonderful and it's a laugh a minute when he gets what's due him. A must read...I couldn't put it down!

I loved this book so much - I couldn't put it down once I stared reading. It has breathtaking romance, adventure and endearing characters that I fell in love with.

I just hope that the author doesn't keep me waiting too long for the sequel!

ISBN 0595207146, Title: Geneva's Hope, Pages: 387, Author: Payton Lee, Genre: Historical, Main Characters: Kerry McGillinen and Braden Wessex. Also the entire McGillinen Family including the Shoshone camp. Overall Quality: My favorite type of reading. Plenty of Humor, action, romance, good dialog and solid characters with unique plot. Story Plot: Kerry meets Braden Wessex and English Lord and his son, Bennett. It's love at first sight for Bennett and then his father Braden, a widower. A jealous suitor and governess do everything in this story to control their destiny, but a shaman Shoshone prophet had foretold this future and good wins over evil. Especially when three brothers unite to keep Braden straight and protect their sister. They go from New York, to Ely to Great Britain, back to Ely. The Action never stops.
What I liked: I like it when Native people are portrayed as they really are, not hollywood stereo types. I like the hook, action, and plot. What I didn't like: I liked everything. When I finished her book I wanted to buy more. This book made me feel like I was right there with Kerry.

This is a series of six books that follows McGillinen's Grady the father and his daughter Kery and three sons Ryan, Ayden, and Dwayn and a few of their offspring. Note you can read these ebooks for free on several different websites so save yourself the money and search. I would have gladly paid the $6 for each book that is how much I liked them. They are keepers.

Geneva's Hope was a good mix of Historical Old West and Regency England both of which I like and read. I recommend reading the entire series in the order in which it is presented below. This book was filled with just enough of everything for a good romance novel. Enjoy.


Geneva's Hope Book 1 Kerry McGillinen meets Lord Braden Wessex and his son, Bennett. Theirs is an immediate attraction. However, both must conquer their own secret fears, a jealous suitor and a psychotic nanny. A story that is a real page turner about the Old West.

A secret she is afraid for anyone to find out, that is until she gives her heart to Ryan. A story that will make you laugh as Twiggy discovers Ryan's world, and cry when Ryan and Twiggy face her past.

Geneva's Legacy Book 6 The end of the Geneva Saga and McGillinen family with the story of the beginning. Grady McGillinen meets Ashley Stuart. Together they start the McGillinen family history and loves.

The characters become part of your family early in the book. The book contains as many twists and turns in the plot as the number of cities Kerry McGillinen and Braden Wessex find themselves in. The book portrays the late West and the people that lived there. The story contains philosophy of the Shoshone tribe. With the drama there are plenty of laughs. It is a book that is a real page turner.
