"Ms. Eagle's Writing Is A Delight!" -- -- Rendezvous

About the Author

Born in Virginia and raised in New England, bestselling author Kathleen Eagle set aside a gratifying seventeen-year teaching career on a North Dakota Indian reservation to become a full-time novelist. The Lakota Sioux heritage of her husband -- and thus of their three children -- has inspired many of her stories.

Among her other honors, she has received a Career Achievement Award from Romantic Times, the Midwest Fiction Writer of the Year Award, and Romance Writers of America's prestigious RITA Award. Library Journal named The Night Remembers one of the five best romances of the year.

With more than thirty books in print, Kathleen takes great pleasure in reading letters from readers who tell her that her books have tugged at their heartstrings, entertained, inspired, and even enlightened them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book That Captures The Soul..., February 13, 2000

By 

CM - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Time Forever (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read Kathleen's books for years and they just get better and better BUT this is my all time favorite book. There is something about this book that just captures the reader's soul and draws them into the storyline. I have read this book hundreds of times and every single time I can never put it down. The intricate way the storyline is interwoven keeps the reader on their seat wondering what the next move will be; while the chemistry between the hero and heroine is so obvious it brings tears to one's eyes watching them fumble their way along to each other - I've recommend this book to all my friends and family over and over. Everytime I get the same response, "That book is marvelous! I don't usually read romances but I LOVED this book! etc.". I've yet to receive a negative response about this book. Truly, I believe this is Kathleen's greatest piece of work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average cookie-cutter romance!, October 26, 2001

This review is from: This Time Forever (Mass Market Paperback)

I found "This Time Forever" to be a very satisfying and refreshing romantic read. The characters of Susan and Cleve are three-dimensional - very real, very human, and, in ordinary circumstances, perhaps even unremarkable. It's the extraordinary circumstance which bring these two together -- Susan, a white woman, serving on a jury that convicts Cleve Black Horse, a half-breed Indian and former rodeo champion, of murder -- which sets the stage for a remarkable and touching story that will stay with you long after you've read it.

Susan tries to cope with the knowledge that she may have helped send an innocent man to prison; Cleve, wrongly accused, has to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and learn to forgive and trust.

Another extraordinary circumstance brings Susan and Cleve together again, and the seed of bitterness slowly and sweetly blossoms into friendship and then love in a most natural way. A beautifully touching and unforgettable story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, September 22, 1998

This review is from: This Time Forever (Mass Market Paperback)

I don't usually read romance novels, but something about this one made me pick it up and read it. I'm so glad I did! The story is engrossing, the characters are interesting, and the writing is great. Rarely am I this sorry when I finish a book...but I also couldn't put it down. So romantic, so well-told, so satisfying!
