5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest books I've read in years!!, May 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Jezebel (Paperback)

Frankly, I was shocked by the other comments about this wonderful book. I was hooked from page one. The heroine IS sympathetic. For heaven's sake she's been dumped in the middle of nowhere by a charlatan! And along comes the hero, tragic, no reason to live. Charity and her son give him a reason to live. I highly recommend this book and anything else Sutcliffe writes. Bravo!

3.0 out of 5 stars I was a bit disappointed..., October 27, 1997

This review is from: Jezebel (Paperback)

I have been a Katherine Sutcliffe fan for a number of years--can't get enough of her books! However, I was disappointed with her latest work. The characters were strange and hard to embrace or identify with. The storyline did not have much depth to it either. My favorite book of hers is "Dream Fever" (would love to see it made into a movie!), so I guess I compare everything to that book. Thanks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic hero but terribly unsympathetic heroine, December 29, 1997

This review is from: Jezebel (Paperback)

Set in 1870 Texas, this book starts out when the hero, trapped by a snowstorm, stumbles upon the heroine's home while she is in midlabor (with her dead husband's child)! He's on the run, with a bounty on his head, but decides to stick around to help the poor babe survive since his mama is no shape to care for him. What started out as a fascinating story with compelling characters unfortunately soon turned into one of those "annoying heroine" books. Almost immediately the heroine began to rub me the wrong way because of her selfish and self-centered attitude and it only got worse from there. I continued to read the book because I thought the hero deserved a happy ending. His dark and tortured past was absolutely horrendous and the flash backs broke my heart but alas it was not meant to be because he got saddled with the unlikable heroine for life! If you don't mind abrasive heroines and adore sensitive, tortured guys you'll probably like this one more than I did.
