I loved this book!, Mar 11 2000

This review is from: The virgin spring (Paperback)
I just finished Debra Lee Brown's THE VIRGIN SPRING and loved it! As a long-time fan of Scottish historicals, I was excited to see a new author of this very popular subgenre. Ms. Brown's first book has everything the savvy historical reader demands. The hero, Gilchrist, is the kind of hero I love--a true tragic hero with scars not only on the outside, but deep within as well. The heroine, Rachel, has been struck by her own tragedy--she is found by Gilchrist at the legendary virgin spring, and does not know who she is. The gradual revelation of her true identity brings on treachery and betrayal that nearly threatens to tear Gilchrist's clan apart, as well as Gilchrist himself. Set against the cold, harsh highlands, with excellent, interesting secondary characters, The Virgin Spring is a terrific read. I am excited by this new author and hope that she and Harlequin stay partners for a long time to come. Kudos to you, Ms. Brown!

An Amazing Storyteller..., Mar 14 2000

This review is from: The virgin spring (Paperback)
The masterful Debra Lee Brown crafts an intriguing tale of historical romantic suspense.
The tormented Gilchrist is having enough trouble resuming his role as leader of the clan Davidson after a fire ravages his body and nearly destroys his spirit. The last thing he needs is to be looking after a lovely lass with no memory of her past-- or is it? A beautiful story of the healing power of love is woven with enough intrigue to keep readers turning pages quickly. Debra Lee Brown makes an impressive debut-- definitely an author to watch.

Dazzling First Book! Lovespell author reviews, May 10 2000
By Tess Mallory - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The virgin spring (Paperback)
In THE VIRGIN SPRING, award-winning author Debra Lee Brown has written a beautiful story of love and passion that will warm your heart. The hero is a man of power and pathos, while the heroine is likeable and strong. The amnesia angle was not contrived or cliched, but was as fresh and interesting as the rest of the book. I love Scottish historicals and found Ms. Brown's book to be both accurate and entertaining. I look forward to her next offering!
