Book Description
"Coffman's writing is deft, capable, and evocative."
*Publishers Weekly
He had done the right thing for the wrong reason. . . . A man driven by despair and an unwillingness to forgive, William Woodville fled his native England, his title, and his duty. In the American wilderness he found the perfect vengeance: A woman. She was a captive handed from tribe to tribe in an odyssey of despair *until William purchased the untamed innocent on the auction block; married her, bedded her, and defiantly presented her to his father in England before he turned and left . . . alone.
Abandoned by the man she loved, she let the pain of betrayal make her strong. . . . Margery Mackinnon needed a family more than a husband, love and security more than an explanation, and time to discover the strange world about her. She blossomed from a primitive wildflower to a lady of the town: the woman she was destined to be. When William returned to the wife he left and the twin sons he never knew, he was captivated by a beguiling woman unwilling to forgive him. Now the man who abandoned love must fight to reclaim it. . . . --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher
Author Elaine Coffman is immensely proud of IF YOU LOVE ME and she should be. It's her first book to hit the New York Times bestseller list, and the reviews have been amazing. But, most importantly, this is the concluding volume to her beloved Mackinnon series featuring five brothers, orphaned in a Comanche raid, forced to grow up apart, always searching for the sister who was held captive. Reader have been asking for years for Elaine to do Margery's story, and this is it. Finally, fans will find out what happened to the lost sister, now a grown woman without an identity. It's a moving story of her search for love and acceptance in a society that she doesn't understand. I found this to be a very special book that transcends the confines of the romance genre.

Good Humor, Sweet Story,
This review is from: If You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an enjoyable book. The heroine was well-developed, although the author could have gone into more detail showing her feeling more emotional hurt over being abandoned. But the dialogue was well developed, showing each character's unique personality. The hero's mother was quite witty, and a very strong lady who taught much to the heroine. Ms. Coffman has a true talent for describing the scenery and setting of her stories. You can see what is happening, like if it were a movie. Her writing is very clear and strong. The ending of this story is happy, and leaves you with a smile.

What a way to end the Mackinnon Series!,
By A Customer
This review is from: If You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
By the way, I didn't find this book had the same plot asHeaven Knows at all. These books couldn't be more different! This isabout the sister who was kidnapped by indians as a child. Her brothers had given up hope of ever finding her. Then an English lord who paints indian life buys this white captive when he sees her being sold by the indians. He buys her to get revenge on his father, marries her and takes her home to England, walks in on Christmas Eve with a buckskin clad wife, and stuns everyone when he leaves without her. What happens next ought to be in a movie. You've never seen a woman like this, who not only makes a My Fair Lady transformation, but takes London by storm! The hero's mother and sister are a stitch! You'll die laughing. A perfect ending to a perfect 7 book series. Wish she'd consider doing one or two more!

IF YOU LOVE ME can touch your heart!,
By A Customer
This review is from: If You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
Helen Holzer, THE ATLANTA JOURNALROMANCE REVIEWS: Simply the best book I've read in a year. Elaine Coffman touches the heart while making her readers laugh and cry as she tells the story of Margery MacKinnon, a woman who's just been purchased at an Indian auction by a London lord. Having survived 21 years as a captive in the Wild West, Margery is transported to England, only to be dropped off at the doorstep of her new master's family. And for the second time in her life she must adapt to rvive ---this time overcoming the snobbery of the British aristocracy.
