Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

Jenny Colter, emotionally and physically scarred by the savage destruction of her family and home in Georgia, plans to start over as a schoolmistress in post-Civil War Missouri. En route, her train is robbed by outlaw Luke Morgan, who happens to be a folk hero in her new hometown. An unconvincing attraction develops between the respectable schoolmistress and the renegade; they marry, and with Jenny's help Luke predictably turns from crime to a political career. By defining the two-dimensional characters through narrative rather than action, best-selling author Brandewyne ( The Outlaw Hearts , Warner, 1988) fails to involve her readers' emotions. She uses Missouri history only incidentally, and her meticulous reproduction of slave dialect not only disrupts the narrative flow but appears condescending, weakening a potentially strong secondary love story between Jenny's servants. Not recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars a sweet story, Feb 15 2002
By A Customer
I really liked this particular heroine after reading so many books where the women are so beautiful, men are driven to insanity for them. This heroine also had to work for a living (she was a teacher), and had a very giving heart. She is shadowed by a horrific past and her youthful innocence was shattered by war atrocities. The hero is conflicted by his own past as well, and develops a sympathy for this not-so-beautiful- on-the-outside young woman. You just want to cheer them and hope they can live happily ever after, but you know they can't until they learn to confide in one another. Their love for each other develops with patience and compassion. I read this book while sick with the flu and really enjoyed it. I would recommend it for someone who wants something a little different.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all, May 24 2001
By A Customer

Like the reader from Dallas, I don't read romance, but a friend at work had a copy and I needed something to occupy my lunch hours.

The story is classic formula romance, but I found myself enjoying it and rooting for the heroine and her fella.

There were plenty of sub-plots to fill in the gaps and the love scenes are pretty spicy.

All in all, not a bad way to spend a few lunch hours.
