Editorial Reviews

Review

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "The Miner's Wife will take you into a future where women are reduced to mere possessions in a male society. Hannah and Brutal are both wonderful characters who are wronged by the very people who should have cared for them. This story is powerfully moving and truly a delight to read.  I can’t wait to read the other two books in The Wives Tales series." —Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

4.5 Kisses: "Lara Santiago has a refreshing and delightful writing style. Not only is The Miner's Wife a very creative story but her characters are mature and well developed. The humor is perfectly timed, as is the action and adventure. Not only are the love scenes hot but they are also sweet and full of emotion. I highly recommend The Miner's Wife and look forward to reading the other books in The Wives Tales series!"  —Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Stars: "The Miner’s Wife is a science fiction story about a future controlled by a corporation and the archaic laws that they enforce concerning women. Ms. Santiago’s characters are believable and very likable. The love scenes for the most part are very, very hot. I am interested in reading the rest of the series." —Oleta M. Blaylock, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 Unicorns: "Taking us into a world where women are no more than property and sexual tension relievers, this author pens an interesting story of a couple brought together under less than ideal circumstances. After making the best of their situation, these two become ideal partners in and out of the bed. With its action, passion and touching moments, readers will enjoy this [first book in] The Wives Tales Trilogy." —Rachelle, Enchanted in Romance

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wives Tales- excellent!, April 18, 2007
This review is from: The Wives Tales: The Miner's Wife, The Executive's Wife, The Lawman's Wife (Paperback)
Ms. Santiago is amazing with her compelling voice and sexy storylines! The three wives tales are simply not to be missed. If you like futuristic--or just plain great writing--I promise you will not be disappointed. There is a reason she is a rising star in the world of erotic romance. This book illustrates it perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wive's Tales, July 30, 2008
This review is from: The Wives Tales: The Miner's Wife, The Executive's Wife, The Lawman's Wife (Paperback)
Sophie Brent finds herself at the company Christmas party. She doesn't know why she bothered to attend because the one man that she wants above all others probably won't even notice she is there. Sophie placates herself with punch and prepares to make a run for it. Sophia suddenly finds herself face to face with the one man that makes her heart pound and her palms sweat; Matthew Westland, her boss and the object of all her fantasies. Sophie contents herself with exchanging pleasantries and heads to the parking garage. Just before she leaves the building, she hears the elevator doors open and someone calls her name. Turning around she finds that it is none other than Matthew Westland and Sophie throws caution to the wind and heads back towards him and the mistletoe hanging above their heads.

Sophie doesn't realize that this is the last time she will ever see Matthew as a free, independent woman. A new government is days away from taking over and her life is about to change. The next time she sees Matthew will be at a wife auction where she is the main attraction in a bidding war.

Matthew Westland has been unable to get Sophie Brent out of his mind since his company's Christmas party. He regrets having had to let Sophie go, not only in his personal life but in his professional as well. Sophie was one of Matt's best and brightest employees, but the new government will no longer allow women in the workforce. Matt counts his blessings and his money when a government sponsored wife auction is held in his company headquarters and Sophie is one of the main attractions. Against his father's wishes, Matt decides that he will have a wife of his choosing and it will be Sophie Brent. What he doesn't bargain for, nor does he realize just how far his father will go to in order to get rid of Sophie and make Matt marry a woman of his father's choosing.

Ever since reading The Miner's Wife, I have been waiting for the release of The Executive's Wife by Lara Santiago. It was all I wanted it to be and more. Full of highly erotic and emotionally hot sex, I fell in love with Matthew almost immediately. Talk about a true hero in helping a damsel in distress; I love how Matt took care to keep Sophie safe but allowed her wings to fly, even if just in the privacy of their home. I thought Sophie intelligent and unafraid and I found myself more than once cheering her decisions.

The Executive's Wife ties in and relates to The Miner's Wife beautifully. I love how Lara Santiago has written this series and I can't wait for the third installment.

Brutal Blackthorn needs a wife, and he needs one today. Genetically

bred, he gets his energy from sexual release and it has been months

since his last woman. Brutal goes into town to the wife auction, but

when the auction nears the end, Brutal and one other man are left

without a wife because one of the women died in transport. Deciding to

fight for the last remaining female, Brutal looks at her on the auction

block and asks for her name. When he looks in her eyes, he knows he is

lost and that he has to be the one to win.

Hannah Brent just knows that there has been some mistake. Sold by her

ex-husband to pay gambling debts, she is transported to a moon

surrounding Mars to be a wife to a miner. When Brutal politely asks

her name, she is spellbound and tells him that if he wins, she will not

give him any trouble. Hannah doesn't realize that in making this

bargain, she will never want to leave his arms. Alas, trouble follows

and only by sheer will does Hannah over come it.

I fell in love with Brutal Blackthorn in The Miner's Wife. He was a big

ole sweet man who tried to be tough, but once he fell in love with

Hannah, she was his whole world and I liked that. It made me all warm

and fuzzy inside that a hero as tough as Brutal would become putty in

Hannah's hands. As for Hannah, for having gone through what she did,

she was an extremely strong, intelligent woman. She was in control of

Brutal without him even knowing it, and I loved that!

The Miner's Wife is the first book I have read written by Lara Santiago

and it will not be the last. The storyline kept me spellbound and the

romantic interludes of the characters were extremely erotic. In fact,

I couldn't put this book down until I read the last word. Lucky for

me, there are two more books in Ms. Santiago's Wives Tales Series, The

Executive's Wife and The Lawman's Wife, that I look forward to reading!

If you are a fan of futuristic books, or even if you aren't, The

Miner's Wife is just a good, all-around read that is totally

satisfying!
