Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A new visitor to Promise is raising eyebrows. Travis Grant, an "Easterner" with the audacity to write books about the West, is a guest at Nell Bishop's dude ranch. Nell's eyebrows, however, are being raised by Travis' sparkling personality and handsome face. Though she keeps telling herself that it's too soon to fall in love, Nell can't keep her heart quiet. It would seem that Travis can't keep quiet, either, as he seems intent on stirring up the town--and the msytery in its past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nell gets her cowboy-after she makes him over from a Yankee, August 23, 1998

By	Linda Ellen McGrath [[e-mail] (Olympia, WA) - See all my reviews

I want to move to Promise as soon as I get some directions from Debbie. I'll bring my own cowboy, but i love her charecters. I don't even care if I get to go to the ghost town. Nell's a widow trying to make it on her own after losing her husband, Not only does she have two kids to take care of, but an elderly mother-in-law doesn't leave her much time. Debbie Macober is a great big "BUY ME" sign as far as i'm conceerned. No weak women in her books. Even the spinsters are someone you wish you knew.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not One of Her Best, October 30, 2003

By A Customer

I have read many books by Debbie Macomber, and this one was the least interesting. It really seemed to drag, had fewer characters and story lines than the other books. Nell and Travis, the two main characters of this book are not quite as interesting as the other match ups that usually populate her novels. The mystery of Bitter End does get solved, but that part of the story was really slow. Also, I felt that the minor characters like Nell's two children and her mother-in-law were not very well drawn.
I know that Debbie Macomber fans are very loyal, so I am sorry if this offends some of you, but maybe I have read too many of her books with the same plot.
