Ratings and reviews

I loved this book I want to know what happened to Nathan did he find a bride that would accept his Indian heritage you are a great writer the Lord gave you a great gift I'm glad you used that gift to write such wonderful books take care be safe

Thought the story was too rushed. Not enough explanation or buildup in certain major components of the story. Overall a sweet story but unable to really get into the characters. A young women goes across the country and marries a complete stranger, totally gives herself to him without any reservations that same night and they are in love by day 2 and the children, who have just met each other, are best friends. There were so many opportunities to enhance the story, to lay a better foundation.

I loved this book. It made laugh and cry. It was a great book. I will read more books written by the author

About the author

 Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of thirty-one historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way.

 

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia’s father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner. The ranch they met on is still there as part of the open space in Mineral County in southwestern Colorado.

 

Writing as CA Woolf she has six scifi, space opera romance titles. She calls them westerns in space.

 

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great friends and critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
