Book Description

April 2002
Hannah Benning only wanted to feel safe.

She grew up on the wrong side of the law, daughter of a master thief and student to his trade. When he dies at the hands of an angry mob, she flees to a monastery to escape the world and her sins. There, at last, she finds the peace and serenity she craves. But one night, when trouble simmers at a nearby penitentiary, her safe world is shattered. She is thrown into a nightmare she thought she’d never live again.

Quinn Landry is betrayed by his brother and sentenced to life in the notorious New Mexico Territory prison. Only the thirst for revenge keeps him alive, and he will do anything to escape. When he hears compassion from the woman who mysteriously appears outside his cell, he knows what he must do.

Together, they run for their lives to survive their pasts. And in the journey, they find truth—and an unlikely love in their hearts.

More About the Author

Dear Reader,

While living a childhood in the ranch country of Nebraska's sandhills, I grew to love the Old West. It seems I've written forever about that era-from the time my four daughters were just toddlers, in fact. Now, I'm a grandmother (but a young one, right?)

When we moved to eastern Nebraska and after I discovered Romance Writers of America and my local chapter, I learned the nuts and bolts of the publishing business. I studied, wrote, got rejected and wrote some more. Gradually, I began to place in contests, then win them. My writing became good enough that an agent signed on to represent me. I kept writing, got more rejections, but persevered, until one day-at last!-I sold a manuscript to Dorchester Publishing for their Leisure Books line.

I went on to release four novels from Dorchester, and Harlequin Historicals picked me up with my fifth book. As you read this, I've released my fourteenth romance, and I'm currently working on a project that's new and different and quite exciting. Stay tuned.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit more about me!

Pam Crooks

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating,western historical, April 22, 2002
This review is from: Hannah's Vow (Mass Market Paperback)
Four years in a New Mexico prison, for a crime he didn't commit has left Quinn Landry a bitter man with revenge on his mind. So, when the opportunity to escape arises, he does so but takes Hannah Benning,hostage.
Hannah is a nun and no ordinary one at that.She was raised by her con artist father, and the only parental guidance she was given was on how to become a thief. When her father was hanged for his crimes, she joined a convent for a new life of serenity and safety.
Quinn is desperate to get back to Texas and clear his name, and he is taking Hannah with him. But, as they travel things began to unwind,the warden is not only chasing Quinn, he is chasing Hannah as well. To add to their problems they are kidnapped by mexican bandits.Left with little choice the two are becoming dependent on each other, and began to build a fragile relationship. Learning to trust each other has now become a necessity. They have decided to help one another, with the promise to part when Quinn's name is clear.
But as the time draws near, neither one can leave the other. Discovering that along with their truce they have fallen deeply in love.
This book is a true gem. Lots of action and adventure with two irresistible characters that you fall in love with from the first chapter. Pam Crooks is swiftly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

4.0 out of 5 stars action-packed western romance, April 11, 2002
This review is from: Hannah's Vow (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1895, hatred and vengeance are the only things keeping Quinn Landry alive after four years with a lifetime to go as a guest of the New Mexico Territorial Prison. Any time he drifts back to the betrayal that led to his current incarceration Quinn feels rage that has no outlet at this time, but his goal of a future escape and retaliation keeps him breathing.

Because of the numerous unaccounted for recent graves at the nearby prison, Father Donovan, Sister Evangeline and Novitiate Hannah Benning go there to learn what is going on. Quinn uses Hannah to escape his detention, but quickly realizes that the nun is no shrinking violet. Instead she is a brave daughter of a con artist. As Hannah saves Quinn's life, they fall in love. However, she relishes the serenity of the convent not a life on the lam while he has demons ripping at his heart. Anything permanent between this couple seems quite unlikely unless a miracle occurs.

At first glance, HANNAH'S VOW uses the trite theme of a "hardened" criminal kidnapping and falling in love with and receiving the love of a novitiate. Even Elvis used that gimmick in one of his movies. What makes Pam Crooks' tale fresh is the capable heroine rescues her abductor several times. Hannah makes the story line work with her strength and independence. Though Quinn over indulges in the angst moaning, fans will still see him as a perfect mate for Hannah who owns this
action-packed western romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Leading Lady, March 17, 2011
This review is from: Hannah's Vow (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoy Western Romance novels, and most people would agree that some can get repetitive, but this one did not disappoint! I like to read about strong female characters and was thrilled that Hannah Benning is one smart gal. I have read a couple of other books by Pam Crooks and am happy that she's getting into the Kindle market now, too.
