Joan Hohl (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1999

Jessica Randall proudly managed her family's Wyoming ranch. She was a woman who defied traditional roles -- determined to be her own boss and never let herself fall in love...until a ruggedly handsome cowboy rode into her life. Duncan Frazer, a playboy who had wandered the world in search of his true self, belonged nowhere, and to no one. But when he saw Jessica, he wonted her with his heart and soul. Posing as the Randalls' new foreman to help Jessica's father discover who was rustling their cattle, Duncan knew that if the truth was revealed, he would risk his chances with this strong-willed beauty. But when destiny leads Jessica and Duncan to a moment of rapturous surrender, they both have to choose between a life that holds no promise -- and a reckless passion that breaks every rule!

5.0 out of 5 stars SILVER THUNDER IS PURE GOLD!, June 2, 2000

This review is from: Silver Thunder (Paperback)

This is the first historical that I read by Joan Hohl and I really enjoyed it. Usually I read her contemporaries, which I love. This was a pageturner that I read in one sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, October 15, 1999

This review is from: Silver Thunder (Paperback)

This is my first Joan Hohl novel and it will not be my last. I'm always looking for new authors and this one seem pretty good. The story certainly filled my "entertainment" requirement. I really enjoy romance westerns such as the ones Johanna Lindsey writes, so I was happy to discover this one. Both authors also write modern romances and so far I like them all. I would recommend this one by Joan Hohl to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, May 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Silver Thunder (Paperback)

I picked up this book because of Nora Roberts' endorsement on the cover. But, what a disappointment. This novel had the same stereotypical romance novel beginning (Alpha male makes man-hating super feminist woman look like a temper-tantrum throwing child) that caused me to take a break from new (at least to me) romance authors for a while. It seemed to redeem itself when the character Meg was introduced and she and Sean connected. Then, out of the blue, Duncan's 15 year old, inexperienced, immature sister appears and Sean's madly in love with her. What? I had to go back to make sure I didn't miss something. I can't understand why the author decided to dump the only strong woman in the book to replace her with a 15 year old child.

The fact that Meg was a prostitute and had such a tough childhood peaked my interest because I wanted to see how the author was going to work through Meg and Sean's relationship. Their storyline was more interesting to me than the main characters'.

I'm afraid that Nora Roberts' and Diana Galbadon's unconventional romances have spoiled me for most romances -- so my search for new authors to add to my short list continues.
