Another Robin Hatcher winner. Easily a 5+...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chances Are (Mass Market Paperback)
Reviewer Jody has done this piece justice so I won't be repetitious. This is a wonderfully written book with a compelling storyline. Very hard to put it down. The characters have depth and are 3 dimensional. Our tormented hero, Drake, is truly a broken man but Faith Butler brings kindness and caring to everyone on the Jagged R ranch. Of course there's Faith's "husband" George, a man worthy of our hate........and there's Gertie, a ranch wrangler who's never learned she was a female til she saves "Doc" from himself......All around good stuff including the precious kids.........precocious Alex and frail Becca. You won't regret buying this one... I understand there is a new, updated version of this story that u may want to check out but I preferred this original myself. Enjoy

Chances are... you'll truly enjoy this story!,
By Jody L. Schoth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chances Are (Mass Market Paperback)
I will definitely have to seek out more books by Robin Lee Hatcher. Chances Are is a wondeful story, filled with heartwarming characters, that will tug at your heart and make you eager to turn the next page. This story is truly hard to put down.Faith Butler somehow, through all her own trials, manages to be a shining light to all those around her. Only can she get through to her new boss, Drake, who hides his scarred face behind dark curtains and unlit rooms.. who only chooses to show his disfigurement when attempting to scare others away from him. Only Faith realizes that, although he attempts to scare everyone around him, a man that gives a desperate woman a job when turing her away would mean certain death for her daughter and probably starvation for her son and herself... must have a heart of gold. Determined to find that heart of gold that he keeps locked away so tightly, Faith sets a direct path to thaw out the cold surface of her boss. This story is truly wonderful, and I highly recommend it to others that have enjoyed historical romance tales. Robin Lee Hatcher is truly a talented storywriter. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Good Stuff,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chances Are (Mass Market Paperback)
This is definitely one of the best historical novel I have read in a while. The emotions just kept leaping out of the pages and tugging at my heart -- and this is what every good novel should do. So maybe the story is not the most original (even though some aspects are). This is actually the third novel I've read about a disfigured, eye-patched leading male character, but still Ms. Hatcher was able to write a gut-wrenching, compelling story. And it's refreshing to see secondary characters have conflicts of their own, and find their own happy ending too. It was just a little too predictable in the end, and maybe the kids should have had a bigger part -- poor Becca was practically non-existant. But these are small details. Overall an above-average, emotion-filled novel.
