This review is from: My Steadfast Heart (Five Star Standard Print Romance) (Hardcover)

I hadn't read Jo Goodman until I recently read "Tempting Torment". I loved Noah's story and finding it was the last of a trilogy about 3 brothers eagerly hit the net to find the first 2 books. (When you hate to see a good book end, it's great to find it is a series!!) So I found Steadfast Heart and curled up. It didn't take me long to find out that SH was the first of a trilogy of 3 other Goodman brothers....whoops.....but I fell in love with Colin, the hero, on the first page and never put the book down.(And am now starting sequel Reckless Heart). Jo Goodman has outdone herself with this one and Colin's story is not only a keeper but is spectacular. It's not a boy meets girl kiss kiss book. There's a real story with multiple factions that are all relevent and could be stories of their own. It's about the hearbreak of being orphaned and torn from his baby brothers, of commitment in trying to find them, of compassion in trying to help Mercedes and her family, and of the evolution of dealing with all those human emotion. A love story, murder mystery, emotional journey that will bring tears and giggles......Don't miss this one. It's a book that I read fast to find out what was going to happen and yet dreaded getting to the end. I'm sure a re-read is in its future for me, but first I have to "find" Decker and Greydon....Jo, you have my admiration for your talent and a new follower.Thanks.

This review is from: My Steadfast Heart (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought the book for my daughter and she couldn't put it down. She says it is the best book she has ever read and has already started the next book (My Reckless Heart). Has the third book in the trilogy (With All My Heart) been published yet?

This review is from: My Steadfast Heart (Five Star Standard Print Romance) (Hardcover)

This is the first book of a trilogy about 3 brother who were orphaned and separated at young ages. My Steadfast Heart is about the oldest brother, Colin, and his lifelong search for his brothers. Along the way he meets Mercedes, a penniless aristocrat trying to save her cousins and the family inheritance. Sparks fly when Colin claims her family's estate as payment for her uncle's gambling debts. Find out how these brothers persevere and find each other. Ms. Goodman is excellent at creating rich, humorous plots and characters. If you are a Jo Goodman fan, you will this book.
