Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

In this perfect romantic novel a single schoolteacher heads west, falls in love with a rancher and, in the face of forceful opposition, starts a school for Indians. When her best friend also needs a true love, the rancher miraculously produces an identical twin brother. Kate Forbes offers a gentle, delicate reading perfectly suited to the tone of the story. Her soft voice shifts subtly among several dialects and between genders without over-performing any of them. Her schoolteacher is suitably refined, her frontier woman equally feisty. The bad guys are really bad, and the misunderstood bastard shifts from despicable to lovable quite convincingly. By the time the tapes run out, you're ready, but not a minute before. R.P.L. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Dorothy Garlock Book, Jun 16 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweetwater (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first Dorothy Garlock book and I will be looking for her other books to read. I got a little tired of the bad language in the book and the end was a little disappointing. I would have liked for her to have gotten them married and for the other brother to have come home. However, it kept my attention all the way through and I read it in two days. She is a good writer and I am looking forward to her other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent historical romance set in 1884 Wyoming Territory, May 13 2002
By Jody L. Schoth (Katy, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sweetwater (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow! This was one excellent story! I loved every word of it, and was thrilled to discover it was the story of the wonderful twins, Trellis and Travor, first introduced in Midnight Blue by Dorothy Garlock. Pack and Shannon Mara Gallagher are mentioned throughout the book, and my only complaint is that we didn't get to read about their arrival at the end - since we knew they were on their way to meet the twins' new wives! After reading some of these reviews, I wondered if this book would be as good as the other books I've read of Ms. Garlock's... it was as good or better than any of them that I've read!! The arrival of Travor, Trell's twin, did not arrive as corny as another reviewer mentioned... he arrived before Jenny and Trell spoke their love for each other. This was an excellent book!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!, Aug 17 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweetwater (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished this book and loved it...all the different charactors kept the book interesting I couldn't put it down. The ending was a little disappointing, but the rest of the story made up for it. I hope that there is a book to follow about Cassandra and Whit.
