But Cole is determined to capture her whole heart, and he means to win over her pint-sized son, Elliot, too-even if Cole has to trample a bit on Abbies tight rein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did it have to end now?, June 18, 2000

This review is from: Honor's Reward (Rocky Mountain Legacy #5) (No 5) (Paperback)

Out of all five of Mrs.Heitzmann's books, this was my favorite: Fast-paced, and well-written, the author deftly intertwined her fantastic wry humor that is so complimentary to her gritty western backdrop. Over her last three books, I came to adore Cole Jasper, and it was a delight to see Abbie and his relationship grow and stumble, only to flourish again. What a journey! Plenty of action hit you in the face towards the end, but the ending was heart-warming enough to cause you to realize you've come to care for these characters. The end wasn't enough to leave me totally satisfied. I sincerely hope we somehow catch a glimpse of Cole and Abbie and the gang in later work by this author. Her characters are far too endearing to let go so soon! My vote: Five stars

This review is from: Honor's Reward (Rocky Mountain Legacy #5) (No 5) (Paperback)

This wonderful series follows the life of Abbie, an independant woman of her time, and those she loves. The series shows her maturing as a person and a Christian. In "Honor's Reward", she must shed her idealistic self to face the realities of life, just as most women must. The process is often painful, but also has it's own rewards. One of the conversions to Christianity seemed a bit unrealistic to me, but like Abbie, I must learn that things don't always follow my way of thinking. God ways are higher than mine. I don't understand how Abbie continues to keep infomation from Elliot concerning his father. I feel so close to these characters that I miss Monte. Like my very real life, the characters grow and change, eventually finding the true meaning of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is a real page turner!, May 11, 2001

This review is from: Honor's Reward (Rocky Mountain Legacy #5) (No 5) (Paperback)

I have thoroughly enjoyed this whole series and wanted to spend every spare moment reading these books. I came to love the characters and was especially interested in the romance between Abbie and Cole. The books were full of adventure and romance. I would really love to see another sequel to this series that would develop the relationships farther. I am an avid Christian Historical Fiction fan and this series is among the best that I have read!
