4.0 out of 5 stars A most unusual story line. Extremely well written., February 6, 2004
By A Customer
This book is multifaceted. It's very difficult to be concise about the plot because it deals with 2 major historical tragedies....the irish rebellion in the 1840's and the american civil war in the 1860's. Our hero, connor, is a product of Ireland and suffers deeply from the trauma of that conflict still going on to some extent in northern ireland at the time this book was written. Olivia, is dealing with post civil war
life and the evil of carpetbaggers laid on top of the trauma of the war itself. These are 2 very deep and emotional eras. While Connor is doing the boxing circuit in america trying to outrun his nightmares, olivia has adopted her best friends 3 orphaned daughters and is trying to save her run down plantation without money and without any help. Enter Connor who having won a fight that he was told to lose is beat up and left to die on the road to olivia's peachtree plantation. She finds him and nurses him back to health against her better judgment....dealing with his nightmares, his swearing and his tormented soul. The 3 girls are absolute joys. They add so much to the story as only life seen through the eyes of children can do. How their innocence wraps around connor's heart is so real you can feel it.I would not say this book is about saving peachtree plantation. This book is about that special something in people that makes them get up and keep trying when life is unbearable. And about how 2 very different people can help each other heal. It is the evolution from hatred and misery to finding hope, love and peace. I didn't rate this book a 5, although for the research alone guhrke should get a 6* rating because I don't like books that use flashbacks. I find it too distracting. It works in this story but it just isn't my thing. Incredible job, LG. Looking forward to other books by you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, September 16, 2005
By Shannon Curry (Lawrence, KS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Conor's Way is a wonderful read. It's a romance novel, but it is also the
story of a man coming to terms with his own past and learning to look beyond it.
After refusing to go down deliberately in a fight, prizefighter Conor Brannigan is
beaten severely and left in the middle of the road, where stubborn, proud Olivia
Maitland rescues hyim and takes him in, nursing him back to health. During that time,
Conor finds his soul being healed by Olivia and her three adopted daughters, and
Conor learns, too, of Olivia's own pain.
This book really worked for me. Tyhe characters don't get into stupid fights. They
talk to each other, and their misunderstandings are genuine.
The author also draws her other characters well, and makes the small Louisiana town
where the story is set come alive for me.
Very highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!, November 25, 2001
By ugataread (Lake Cumberland) - See all my reviews
I am an avid reader and if there were 6 stars to give for this book it would deserve them! I couldn't put it down. This book is so well written that you feel as if you are right in the pages with them. This is the first book I have read by this author and will look forward to reading her other books!
