3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read (Almost 4 Stars), May 31, 2002

This review is from: Where the Wild Rose Blooms (Rocky Mountain Memories) (Paperback)

This book is definitely one of my favorite Lori Wick books. It seems to be "deeper" than the rest. It is the story of the Fontaine family and Clayton Taggart, set in the 1870's in Colorado. "Where The Wild Rose Blooms" focuses on the romance between Clayton and Jackie, one of the Fontaine girls. I particularly liked the characters in this book. They were certainly not perfect (especially Jackie) and seemed much more believable in their flaws than some of Lori's other characters. Because of the "believability" and development of her characters, we really enjoyed the romance a lot more and felt very rewarded when it happened-even though we knew it was coming. This is a nice, fun, and sometimes thought-provoking read that you'll enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deep and Engrossing, April 4, 2001

This review is from: Where the Wild Rose Blooms (Rocky Mountain Memories) (Paperback)

I must admit that this book started out a little slow and I was just beginning to give up on it when it started to become engrossing. This book goes much farther beneath the surface than a lot of Lori Wick's other novels. She does a tremendous job of tying the readers emotions into the storyline. There was also elements of surprise, especially the ending which paves a very exciting road to the sequel. I was delighted with this book, as I usually am with Lori Wick. I must say I would like for her to write more novels with as much depth as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Read..., January 20, 2001

This review is from: Where the Wild Rose Blooms (Rocky Mountain Memories) (Paperback)

While I enjoy Lori Wicks books, this story seemed to have more depth to it than some of her other books. I must admit, the book jacket synopis misled me. I thought it was going to be a nice, heartwarming love story -- and it was to a point. But it was much more than that. It was a story of unconditional love and determination. I admired Jackie's spunk and determination. I admired the love the Fontaine family showed for one another. I especially enjoyed Jackie's sister and brother in law who were such a force in working with Jackie after her tragic accident. I loved Clayton and how he never gave up on Jackie, even after he received the disturbing letter from her telling him she had met someone else. This story was a wonderful read and inspiring. I'm now looking forward to reading others in this series.
