4.0 out of 5 stars
exciting western romance, April 12 2003
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Broken Blossoms (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1895 San Francisco Judge Chandler forces Trig Mathison to find and return to him his daughter Carleigh, who ran to Mexico to meet the mother she thought dead. Trig wants to say no, but Chandler holds the aces. Chandler will pay Trig and more important see that the phony murder rap is dropped. If Trig fails to return with Carleigh, Chandler plans to retaliate by harming his father. Trig believes the vicious man because the Judge killed his brother.
Trig catches up to Carleigh before she reaches Mexico. However, she manages to escape and continue on her trek for she needs to meet her mother whom she was led to believe by her father was dead. He captures her again and again, but finally agrees to escort her to see her mother before taking her back to her father. On the trip south together, Carleigh and Trig fall in love, but her father remains a formidable person that they will need to deal with if they are to find happiness.
This is an exciting western romance that brings to life the gay nineties from a not so elegant perspective. The story line is loaded with action as the lead couple deals with a lot more than just what her father does. Though at times the impediments to the protagonists besides her father seem too much, fans will appreciate Pam Crooks' BROKEN BLOSSOMS as love battles vengeance in the heart of the hero.

Action Packed, Mar 17 2011
By Teresa Volo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Broken Blossoms (Mass Market Paperback)
I was intrigued when I read the book jacket of Broken Blossoms...I couldn't wait to read more. This author details two different settings - the U.S. and Mexico - and describes them beautifully. I was drawn into the characters' lives immediately and was sympathetic to the conflicts and decisions they faced. Pam Crooks does a great job grabbing your emotions...I will be reading more by her.
