4.0 out of 5 stars Another JJ delightful read., Feb 24 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Colter's Wife (Mass Market Paperback)
I am so pleased that I ran across this author. She writes with such clarity and compassion. I truly enjoy her books. This one is an easy read. Colter, our physically and emotionally scarred hero, has spent years tracking down the confederate soldiers who (post war) brutalized his wife and child...and left him to die. Unable to locate the last of them, he heads west to start his life over, such as it is. Kenjin is a young widow with precocious twin boys and a little girl who is trying to save her ranch and they enter into a marriage of mutual need and benefit.
As he teaches her how to run her ranch, he also becomes, against his desire, a surrogate father to these children. The dialogue is so believable and touching that u feel like you are there.
Naturally there are bad guys who try to take over the ranch, kill Colter, etc....and the love that kinjin brings to heal colters heart. This is a simple story with very real emotions and a book that is not very complex to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved it!, Feb 7 2004
By Loves To Read "jacksey" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colter's Wife (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a terrific book. Ms. Johnston has a gift for making her characters very real. I absolutely adored Colter, wounded though he was by his past. And I very much enjoyed Kinyan as well. The motivations of the characters were believable to me and the story was wonderfully told. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Letting the Practical Become Romantic, Sep 19 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Colter's Wife (Mass Market Paperback)
What a beautiful story. Johnston creates beautiful characters who are easy to love, the story is honest in that decisions are made based on practical realities. It's the heart and depth of the characters that allow the romance to come out. I finished it in one sitting while waiting out Hurricane Isabel - didn't even realize the storm had blown away!
