This review is from: A Promise of Roses (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Heidi takes you on a wild, fun and sexy ride with her latest, A PROMISE OF ROSES. And she just keeps getting better!

I fell in love with this book for many reasons, one being the feisty heroine, Megan, and the downright sexy hero, Lucas. The sparks fly between Megan and Lucas like no forth of July I've ever seen.

Determined to keep her stage line afloat Megan has not choice but to take a run when her driver refuses to risk his life, fearing they'll be robbed again, an all to common occurrence since they've been transporting railroad payroll. Megan gets more than she bargains for though when she's taken hostage during her run and finds herself attracted to one of the robbers. Little does she know Lucas is undercover for the railroad and suspects her of being the mastermind behind the holdups. She soon finds out though when Lucas abducts her in the night and reveals his plans to take her in to stand trial. What he doesn't count on though is the intense attraction he feels for Megan and the headstrong, feisty, hellion he's taken into custody. It doesn't take long to figure out he has his hands full, in more ways than one! LOL

This is a must read! Wild, crazy, funny, hot, steamy, exciting and playful are only a few words to describe this book. Don't miss it! Heidi is a wonderful storyteller who mixes a great story, lusty scenes, and characters you bond with and can't help but love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced, captivating story!, September 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Promise of Roses (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Heidi Betts outdoes her wonderful first book, Cinnamon and Roses, with her second, A Promise of Roses.

The fast pace, dramatic action and witty dialogue, combined with a heroine you can't resist rooting for and hero you'll fall in love with, makes this a great read. Heidi will make you laugh as you race along to the conclusion of this novel. Sensual love scenes provide dynamic sizzle.

A must read for lovers of romances set in the historical American west! (Or lovers of any romances, for that matter.)

I really enjoyed A Promise of Roses. The story was exciting - a real page turner. And I loved the characters - they were well-developed and easy to feel something for. But I really loved her heroine - Megan Adams. She was strong, defiant, self-reliant and funny. Read it - it's a great ride through the old West.
