Review

Zac Randolph owns and runs the Little Corner of Heaven Saloon on San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast. He's a gambler by trade and by nature and he's married to his saloon. He takes care of the girls who work for him but unlike his brothers, he avoids marriage like the plague. With his good looks and charm, Zac could have any woman he wants but no woman is as exciting as gambling, no woman means as much to him as his saloon. Until his distant cousin Lily Sterling shows up on his doorstep. A fresh faced beauty from the mountains of Virginia, Lily has fled her father and a prospective husband to come to San Francisco. Zac offered her a place to stay four years ago when they met at a family reunion and Lily is here to take him up on the offer. She insists she doesn't want him to take care of her, but she needs a place to stay until she can find a job. Unfortunately, Lily's beauty attracts too many men for her to keep a job for long. And Zac can't very well let her fend for herself when she seems to get into trouble at every turn. Lily's innocence and purity attract Zac, but he knows he doesn't deserve her. Lily sees only the good in Zac and decides that she's been sent to San Francisco to save him from himself. But Zac is determined to get Lily away from the Little Corner of Heaven and out of his system. But he should know by now that where ever there's a flower woman there's a Randolph who is about to lose his heart.Leigh Greenwood is an amazing storyteller who has entertained and enamored us with the Seven Brides stories! Lily is a wonderful tale to finish off a remarkable series! Leigh Greenwood's Randolph brothers and their flower women will be missed. They touched the hearts of many readers and invited us to join their family. Few authors have the talent to sustain a seven book series where every book is unique and better than the one before. Thankfully, Leigh Greenwood proved to be one of those prolific and brilliant authors! Congratulations to Leigh Greenwood for creating a special and truly memorable series! If you haven't read these books, you don't know what you've been missing!Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars A series you can't miss!, April 1, 1998

This review is from: Lily (Leigh Greenwood's Seven Bride's) (Paperback)

"Lily" is the seventh and last book in the "Seven Brides" series. If you haven't read them all, start with "Rose" and read them in order. Each bride and brother is a gem. ----The ultimate dysfunctional family... Seven Randolph Brother's, each with a unique personality, yet as the eldest, George, would probably say, seven faces of the same man. Beneath their ultra tough exteriors, in the deepest most vulnerable part of their souls, lives the lagacy of a cruel, sadistic father and a weak mother, the fear that they are incapable of loving and unworthy of being loved. Their loyalty to each other (although they may not understand it) shows us otherwise. The "flower women" who wed them win their hearts and heal their souls by loving them just the way they are and in turn the brothers do the same for them. "Lily" is a sweet and very funny story. If you have followed Zac throughout the series from a cheeky six year old to a devilishly charming 24 year old, you can't help but hope he finds love at last. Zac, the youngest Randoph is the most lost soul of all, although he was too young to have the memories of his parents which haunted his older brothers, he feel even less worthy of his family than all the others. His life's goal is even less worthy, he makes his success as the owner of the most successful saloon in San Francisco's Barbary Coast region. He is a gambler and considered to be the most selfish Randolph of all, only thinking about himself. Then into town blows Lily Sterling, a distant cousin of Zac's. Lily, an innocent but spirited minister's daughter is fleeing an arranged marriage........Although the series is at an end it leaves you wanting more. I myself would like to know what kind of father Zac made. Mr. Greenwood gives us romance from a man's prospective, women take heed!

This review is from: Lily (Seven Brides) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the last book in the Seven Brides series & in my opinion it's the best. I enjoy a little laughter when I read a romance book & I found myself laughing out loud so many times. The chemistry between Zac & Lily was great & I loved the big reunion at the end of the book. Since book 1 I've found myself wondering what ever happened to Salty & when I met Dodie in this book I kept hoping Salty would show up when George arrived but it didn't happen. Maybe I'll have to write a letter to Leigh & make a suggestion for a book with the two of them. Who knows it may happen. Anyway this series is not to miss. The order is #1 Rose #2 Fern #3 Iris #4 Laurel #5 Daisy #6 Violet #7 Lily. Highly recommended.
