Editorial Reviews

Review
"...plenty of action, emotion, and adventure ...a real page-turner. Highly recommended." -- Church Libraries, Spring 2001

Product Description
The Compelling Story of One Woman’s Experiences in a Gold-rush Town

The Rose Legacy is the first book in her historical fiction series, Diamond of the Rockies. Fast-paced and engaging, the new story is sure to capture your heart and love of romance.

Driven by hope and vengeance Carina Maria DeGarcia, an Italian heiress, sets out for a new life in a Colorado mining town. But she soon finds out the "dream house" she purchased through the mail is already inhabited and the town called the "diamond of the Rockies" is anything but luxurious. Two men vie for her trust, but neither is what he seems. Will Carina learn the truth—and confront the deep secrets hidden in her heart—in time to prevent tragedy?

The Rose Legacy provides a compelling Christian message within an authentic historical setting and offers a rare glimpse into the spiritual history of Colorado—from pioneer evangelists to Spanish missions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Page Turner, Leaving You Begging For More, January 18, 2001
By Rebecca Smith "rbossman" (Sunrise, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This book has it all. It seems that Kristen Heitzmann's writing becomes more intriguing with each new book. The book has the perfect blend of faith, romance, action, and conflict. I can not wait for her next one. This is the kind of book you want to read in one night but also want to relish every word over again. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys historical fiction with a touch of mystery, action, and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm hungry for more!!, December 19, 2003
WOW!! Heitzmann hit the bullseye! I can't even begin to explain how much I completely enjoyed this book. It's got a simple story that becomes a life or death tale for the heroine, Carina DiGratia. My favorite character in this was Quillan - he's dark, mysterious, handsome(so Heathcliff!), but on the inside, tender and feeling. Anyway, Carina has just left California - her home, and also the home of her fiance, Flavio, whom she had just caught with her sister, Divina. She flees to Crystal, Colorado, a small mining town she has high hopes for, and a place where she hopes to forget her sorrow over Flavio. Anyway, right when she gets to Crystal, she is severely dissappointed - a roguish freighter named Quillan Shepard pushes nearly all of her belongings straight off a cliff, someone takes over her house, and she has no money. Even worse, the goody goody of the town, Berkely Beck, likes her. Mr. Beck you'll discover, is not the kind gentleman that first greets Miss DiGratia, and has his own dark secrets that threaten the town, and Carina. Quillan, however, has a different story. His true self hidden by a dark and forbidden past, he appears to be quite the scoundrel, but later on, he and Carina are to find themselves struggling together to save Crystal. Here are some questions that might be stumbling along in your mind: What is Beck hiding?? Do Quillan and Carina ever fall in love?? Are they able to save Crystal?? READ THE BOOK & FIND OUT!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Loved It!, May 7, 2001
By "heather34" (Sugar Land, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
I absolutely loved this book! Like some other readers said, it started out kind of slow, but by the 10th chapter things started to get exciting. Thats when all of the romance and suspense began. So I definitely reccommend this book to any woman out there who enjoys a good romance novel and even a little bit of mystery and suspense. And I also want to let those out there who have read this book, know that the sequel has finally come out. Its called, Sweet Boundless, and its the second book in this series. In fact I'm about to purchase it. I'll let all of you know how I liked it. But for those of you who are just picking up this book you must get Sweet Boundless as well. Because this one leaves you hanging and you'll just have to find out what happens. So be sure and order the second book along with this one. Anyway I just really enjoyed this book and if you enjoy heart-thrilling romances I know you will too!
