When Shannon Brown opened her eyes, all that was left of her memory was the haunting image of a bloody knife. The dark-haired stranger who found her thought she was a boy, and from the looks of her worn trousers and too-big boots, Shannon knew she'd been hiding from someone. Now, not knowing whom to trust, she fought to keep her amnesia a secret from her handsome rescuer--a man who would risk anything to keep her safe.

Review
Gareth Colby was returning home from town when he found an injured and unconscious young lad in the middle of the road. Gareth takes the boy home only to find out that the youngster has lost his memory, except for his first name. The young waif, who takes the name Shannon Brown, awakens to become a household member of the Colby family. Only Shannon knows that 'he' is under false pretenses . . . Shannon is actually a girl and terrified to reveal her gender. Shannon does not remember who she is or where she is from, but has frightening flashes of an evil man with a bloody knife whom she senses is trying to kill her. During the course of the tale, Shannon and Gareth become close as they begin working together to solve the mystery of her past. Ms. Graham weaves an interesting storyline, which will keep readers hooked to find out exactly who is actually after Shannon. The reader is also forced to wait to find out all about Shannon's past. This book has a sweetness to it, so do not expect a heavily sensual romance. But it does offer a welcome change from the abundance of Civil War romances as this love story is set in the Reconstruction period South. Some readers may enjoy the secondary romance in the plot, although the female in that pairing may have readers wishing she would get a grip and grow up. Stick with it long enough and she will. Ms. Graham gives readers a suspenseful and satisfying tale which will keep them guessing right up to the very end! The Heart's Haven offers a bit of everything . . . a mystery, reluctant hero, tortured heroine, evil villains, and a wonderful love story! This story does not disappoint! With wonderfully vivid characters and a snappy story, Ms. Graham is a formidable talent whose light is shining brightly in the publishing world!

WHOOPS! DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE STORY,
By
This review is from: The Heart's Haven (Lovegram Romance) (Paperback)
Gareth Colby, a physically and emotionally wounded man, picks up an unconcious[?] young lad from the side of the road. Strangely enough he ends up feeling a strange attraction to the "boy". And his sister, Clarine, is also attracted and starts flirting with Shannon.
Gareth's mother, Maud and Grandma Lucy are accepting of the stranger, while his sister Gwenny seems to be highly suspecious. I get the feeling that Grandma Lucy knows more than she lets on. Shannon is living in mental fear of something or someone. She just knows that she cannot reveal her gender to anyone. Who can she trust? No one. She had just barely escaped being raped. To find no memory of where she came from but the nightmare flashes of a man with a bloody knife to torment her keeps her determined to hide. Yet she has such a strong attraction to man, Gareth. Gareth and Clare's lives become disrupted with the advent of Shannon as a female. Whoa! Is Gareth ever relieved that he has not developed strange tendancies and Clare is humiliated. She does want the good life of ease and pretty things. She especially likes Shannon's necklace. Gareth gets to the point where he finds it next to impossible to keep his hands off Shannon and she has the same problem. Then comes the flood. Not something I would like to live through. And who is this faceless man that wants to kill Shannon? Gareth wants Shannon but he will not marry anyone. He is not going to open his heart to more pain and rejection. [:-) Haven't seen Shannon do any rejecting yet, but there was a bit of confusion on how their relationship was going to progress. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --m - well worth reading again.

Heart's Haven,
By virginia langdon (nebraska usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heart's Haven (Lovegram Romance) (Paperback)
The story line had original promise. Then as reading this book I realised that ideas were not finished. Story lines were left unfinished and unresolved. The ending seemed rushed or edited roughly leaving me feeling cheated for having spent the time to read it.
