5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking , heartbreaking and wonderfully exciting!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Homecoming (Mass Market Paperback)

Beautifully written. Bryna Cassidy is a true Irish lass. And,Dominick Crown, her soon to be handfasted husband, is a man of character and honor. This book is wonderfully romantic, full or love and laughter. I particularly enjoyed the way the two characters fall in love, and develop a deep mutual respect for one another, and share their victories as well as their sorrows. If you are looking for sex, this is not the book for you, but if its romance you're looking for, you won't be able to put it down. It has true Irish flavor. Can't wait to read the second and third in the trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a dull moment..., September 21, 2006

This review is from: The Homecoming (Mass Market Paperback)

This story kept me clued to the pages with never a dull moment. The main characters were very likeable, especially the hero. What is nice about this story is you also got a nice bit of a history lesson (French & Indian War) without it being overwhelming. Many authors seem to have trouble meshing a romance with an active historical background. It was also interesting to me that she never mentioned the French & Indian War and just gave you the developments as experienced by these characters living in and around New Eden, PA, near today's Allentown. In other words, she didn't bite off more than the reader could or would want to chew. I am an avid history buff in general, but I wasn't reading this romance for a history lesson. Still, I enjoyed the viewpoint I got through the characters. It's so refreshing to suddenly be able to snap your mind into a famous historical period and get a real and personal understanding of what some of the individuals probably did think and feel. I should add that I am from Eastern Pennsylvania and grew up going into the woods at night with friends to hear the cries of a hidden baby in an old well on a homestead where a family had been massacred by Indians. My home area of Heidelberg Township in Eastern Berks County was even mentioned in the book. One of the forts built against Indian attack was located within a mile of my home. But it all seemed like distant events to us kids. This story brought it to life for me and also gave me a great romance to enjoy along with great secondary characters and stories that had me tearing up. This book was a solid 5-star! I look forward to reading the sequels, UNTAMED and then THE PROMISE.
