The Men of Pride County

When War began, the boys of Pride County went off to fight for honor and glory. They returned as men: war-ravaged, shattered, yet determined to find love and rebuild their lives in a world that had crumbled around them. These are their stories.

FORBIDDEN LOVE

It is with a heavy heart that Reeve Garrett returns to Pride County. His half-brother had joined the southern cause and died a hero, while Reeve fought for the north -- earning the contempt of his town, his family. . .and his brother's fiancee, Patrice Sinclair. She is the only woman he had ever loved, but as the illegitimate son of a wealthy horse breeder, Reeve was unable to court her. And now that he's been branded a traitor, he fears she can never be his.

Patrice Sinclair was the belle of Pride County -- with dreams of a lovely home, children, and a good man by her side. But her dreams have been destroyed and now the only man she can turn to for help is an outcast among his people. As she witnesses Reeve's struggle to rebuild their war-scarred down, she risks what little she has left to stand by his side.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Poignant and Moving Novel, March 16, 2004

This review is from: The Outcast (The Men of Pride County Series, #1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was very pleasantly surprised when I read this book, as I did not enjoy the author's works done under the pen name Dana Ransom. This is a wonderful story. It brings to life the time after the Civil War in a ruined southern town. The author created some very memorable secondary characters and very likeable lead characters. Their journey to love is difficult and very believable. I appreciate the poignancy of the tale, as well as the maturity of the characters. I highly recommend this book.

This is the 1rst of the 4 pride county books by rosalyn west. They are all excellent but this one is probably the best. It certainly sets the characters firmly for the sequels. Wonderful story and really clear, complex characters. I loved it. Wish these 4 could be adapted for a movie.....Thank you Ms West.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a page turner!, April 1, 1999

I hated to finish this book because the characters were so real I didn't want to say good-bye. This is one of those books that you just can't wait to see what happens, and when you're done you keep thinking about how great an ending that was. I am especially glad to be able to reveiw this book as the author is from my area and I can safely say she is just as nice as her characters. Buy this one! You won't be disappointed.
