Patricia McLinn rocks!, December 13, 2001
This review is from: My Heart Remembers (Wyoming Wildflowers) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)
Shane Garrison put Lisa Currick's mentor in jail eight long years ago, but that's not why she can't forgive or forget him. No, it's because he took her heart. She stopped seeing beauty, stopped feeling. She retreated into a world of logic and books. A world where she was in control. But now Shane Garrison is back in her life and control is the last thing she's feeling. As a matter of fact, she's feeling quite wild...about Shane. Together Shane and Lisa work to solve the mystery of a missing necklace, even as they work to solve the mystery of their hearts...hearts that can never be complete without if their apart.
Patricia Mclinn bring real depth to her characters as she creates a story of two people who were truly meant for each other! The third book of her Wyoming Wildflower series is every bit as lovely as her first two, Almost a Bride and Match Made in Wyoming.

A Determined Man And A Sceptical Woman Remember The Past, December 6, 2001
This review is from: My Heart Remembers (Wyoming Wildflowers) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)
Lisa Currick had an exceptional talent for designing jewelry, and at age nineteen she moved to New York City to work with a famous jeweler, Alex White, who saw her potential and encouraged her. Lisa felt as close to Alex as she did to her family, and admired and respected him. The feelings never changed, but she was disillusioned when he was arrested and jailed for stealing clients' jewels. Worse though, was her feeling of being used by the detective working the case. She'd walked and talked with him and dreamed of love, yet he never spoke another word to her after Alex was convicted. After the trial she immediately left New York and returned to her small hometown and never revealed what had happened.
Eight years may have passed, but Lisa Currick recognizes the voice and the man speaking them instantly, when she hears him say, "You cut your hair". Fortunately, she has her back to him, which gives her time to recover long enough to turn around to face him. Her plan to pretend she doesn't know him falters immediately when he simply says, "Hello, Lisa", and she looks into the face of Detective Shane Garrison, a ghost she has not been able to banish.
Shane Garrison has a reputation for being a detective who solves his cases down to and including the smallest detail. But there is one case he's never been able to completely put an end to. He's never found the emerald and diamond necklace Alex White stole. Before accepting a position with the District Attorney, Shane wriggles an agreement out of his new boss to give him two months to close this case, and heads for Wyoming to find the woman his mind cannot erase - Lisa Currick, the sprite who made him feel alive eight years ago. It's a beautiful woman he sees today though, and one with a hostile look. How will he ever convince her to help him?
Patricia McLinn doesn't waste a single word in this third story of the Wyoming Wildflower series. MY HEART REMEMBERS is a perfect title for this book, as memories return to both Lisa and Shane. Focus is almost totally on the lead characters, but family members with stories in the prequels are present to give advice, and help Lisa recognize hidden fears and hurts that she's buried. Ms. McLinn tells a little of the life of a policeman and the need to have an anchor for balance. Shane discovers what he's really looking for as he spends time with Lisa and tries to restore her sprightly personality. He's a man who doesn't understand what `N' - `O' means and he constantly reminds her he doesn't give up. MY HEART REMEMBERS has no fluff; it's a story of emotion and sensuality that also features strong family bonds. I read this in one sitting and enjoyed it so much that now I've got to try to find the first two prequels in the series.
