4.0 out of 5 stars An Early Hoag Romance, October 21, 2000

By

Marcia L. Hopkins - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sarah's Sin (Loveswept) (Mass Market Paperback)

In my on-going quest to read everything ever written by Tami Hoag (even if I have to go backwards to do it) I borrowed a copy of Sarah's Sin from my aunt. Having read the latest of Ms. Hoag's murder mysteries it took some getting used to when I began reading this romance novel. I knew that Tami Hoag wrote romance before she began writing mystery novels, but still it took until chapter 2 before I settled into this book. Then I got lost in the world of Sarah Troyer, a young Amish widow and Dr. Matt Thorne head of the emergency ward in Minneapolis hospital. Matt is gorgeous, a bachelor and an unrepentant ladies man. Sarah is beautiful, na�ve and Amish. The story begins as Sarah is nursing Matt back to health after he had been beaten and shot during a gang fight in the emergency room. Sarah works for Matt's sister, Ingrid, who runs a bed and breakfast in the small town where Sarah lives.

Ms. Hoag develops the characters and their relationship to their lives, families and each other with grace and her usual talent. It's a wonderful romance and love story and anyone who has read Nora Roberts work will enjoy it. If you are looking for Ms. Hoag's latest type of novel (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Guilty as Sin) this is not the same type of book although I would highly recommend it to lovers of romance novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a love story !, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Sarah's Sin (Loveswept) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have enjoyed all of Tami Hoag's murder/suspense novels. Sarah's Sin from 1992 was figured to be a romance novel from the title, and sure enough it was. While it didn't seem like Tami Hoag, or at least the one I had grown to look forward to, it was a sweet story about a cocky ER doctor from Minneapolis who had been wounded in a gun fight and ends up recuperating in a small town in Minnesota nearl an Armish settlement. A young Amish widow is working at the bread and breakfast run by the doctor's sister and is assigned the job of taking care of him as he recovers his strength. Of course the two of them are attracted to each other. Having grown up with the Armish of Central Illinois, I found Sarah's character believable and true to the Armish culture. The story is about Sarah's longing to leave her "plain" life and accept her love and move on to the world at large with all its opportunities and challenges. It's a fast read and a sweet story. The sex is a little idealistic, but it's good fuel for a night of fantasy. Stick it in your beach bag and enjoy.

This review is from: Sarah's Sin (Loveswept) (Mass Market Paperback)

I first discovered Ms. Hoag by reading her more recent mystery books. I never cared much for Romance novels, but gave her books a try and find that I like them. I enjoy her using cajun and Amish cultures as a backdrop. Sarah's Sin was easy reading and very pleasant.
