5.0 out of 5 stars A very highly recommended historical romance, February 3, 2001

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dear Lady (Coming to America #1) (Paperback)

With Dear Lady, Robin Hatcher debuts her new "Coming to America" series of entertaining novels showcasing three different women who came to America to start new lives for themselves. Dear Lady is set in the big-sky country of Montana in the 1800s. Beth Wellington finds that the past she sought to flee, isn't easy to escape, even in a brand new country. Circumstances force secrets into the open, sometimes brining hearts together in unlikely ways, and sometimes tearing them apart. A very highly recommended historical romance, Dear Lady is wonderfully entertaining from first page to last and will leave the reader eagerly looking forward to the next book in this thrilling new series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Library Journal Review of DEAR LADY, November 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dear Lady (Coming to America #1) (Paperback)

"In this rewrite of a previously released 1997 secular romance of the same name, Hatcher (The Shepherd's Voice) reaffirms her calling to the Christian market.

"In 1897, Lady Elizabeth "Beth" Wellington flees an arranged marriage in England to become a school teacher in New Prospects, Montana, the home of her young pen pal Janie Steele. Janie's father, Garrett, expects that Lady Beth will want to be waited on hand and foot, but Beth surprises him by moving into a tumbledown cabin. As Beth settles into her new life, her feelings for Garrett grow while she fends off the mayor's hot pursuit.

"With more emphasis on the role of the church in the developing West and deeper religious introspection for the main characters, Hatcher easily shifts to a new market with a title that will appeal to Tracie Peterson's fans. For all collections." (November 2000)

Dear Lady is a charming story of Lady Elizabeth Wellington of Langford House, Buckinghamshire, England, who arrives to a small town in Montana to inquire about a teaching position. Her motivation to leave a life of luxury is to escape from marrying a very unlovable man. She ends up finding unexpected love in this small town. It's an endearing story and a fun read for summertime vacation, or any time.
