A Love Forbidden

This lovely historical romance features a devoted leading lady and a leading man who doesn’t know where he belongs in the world. It works, despite the minor set-backs.

Book Rating: Up All Night’er

I love series stories! I easily get attached to characters and I always like reading more about then in subsequent books. The leading lady in this book is introduced briefly in the previous story A HEART DIVIDED.

Shiloh is a sweet, devoted girl who fell in love a boy who worked at her father’s ranch many years ago. He made such an impression on her that she never forgot him. Many years later when their paths cross again she is thrilled at the chance to have a friendship with him. He however, is not.

Jesse doesn’t like the memories of his life with the white people, and is afraid of all the buried emotions that Shiloh will likely surface in him. But he can't deny he's attracted to her.

I struggled with liking Jesse. He was only partly nice to Shiloh I thought—so bogged down with his past that he couldn’t even really let himself acknowledge that he loved her. He would say and do things that were meant to push her away, and sometimes I kept thinking, “Girl, get over him! He is SO not worth it!”

In the end, I tolerated him well enough. But I thought he could have been made into a much more likable leading man.

There were a few good rescue scenes that I enjoyed, but honestly the romance didn’t do much for me in this one.

Like in the book before, this one had a great Christian element.

I do recommend this, even thought it wasn’t one of my fav's.

Happy Reading!

A Heart Divided

This is my first Kathleen Morgan book…I’ll be comin’ back for more!

Book Rating: Up All Night'er

A feuding family story—gotta love those!  Two young lovers get caught in the crossfire of their families anger and have to overcome their differences in order to prove to one another that their love is more important than anything between their families. (Wow, that was a mouthful…)

Awww! So romantic!

Sarah Caldwell is being forced by her father to take part in a robbery! And even though she wants nothing to do with it, she goes along for the sake of her ailing brother.

Cord Wainwright can’t believe that the Caldwell’s have robbed them again! And when he realizes that the little blonde beauty had a hand in things he is even more surprised.


However, both of them are even more shocked when their feelings for each other begin to bloom into a strong love. But can they overcome it all and help heal their broken families?

This leading lady is very likable, I thought.  She is fairly young and naive at times, but it didn't bother me too much. Cord is a great leading man--strong, wise and perfectly flawed. *wink*

This is a fabulous evening or weekend read. Some novels are like a yummy, heavy meal—they stay with you for a long time. Others novels…are more like orange juice. This one is somewhere in the middle—delicious romance and fun characters, but maybe nothing you will come back to and read over and over.

I have a good feeling you will like this one.

Happy Reading!
