Love Without End by Robin Lee Hatcher

I am a big Robin Lee Hatcher fan. I was so glad to be back in Kings Meadow and to see Chet get a second chance. The story captured me right from the start and I had a hard time setting this book aside.

The book tells the story from 3 different character's perspectives. Chet shares his side, Kimberly shares hers, and then you get more of a back story from Anna. I liked Anna, but then again, who couldn't. She was a courageous girl led into the safety of a wonderful family.

Kimberly had seen her life fall apart after her husband's death. I was glad Janet, her best friend, was blunt and talked some sense into her. Her relationship with Tara hung in the balance with the wrong decision.

Chet seemed like a sweetheart. He was a hard-working cowboy that loved the ranch. His boys had a wonderful attitude, despite the way their mom treated them.  Instead of being angry, they worked hard.

I'm very much looking forward to the next book that will be set in Kings Meadow, too! Read more opinions on this book by going to http://litfusegroup.com/campaigns/love-without-end-robin-lee-hatcher.

Four Weddings and a Kiss by Margaret Brownley, Debra Clopton, Mary Connealy, & Robin Lee Hatcher

I was really glad to see these 4 author's names on the same book once again.  I had really enjoyed this last book that they all wrote together, A Bride for All Seasons. All four of these authors are some of my favorites and I really like it when they write a good western!

Each of these novellas could stand alone, but they flowed well together. Many books with more than one author can seem more choppy and not as well put together.  I liked their idea to make the stories flow by adding an additional person to the story. This left them room to develop their story freely and independently from each other.

In case you wanted to read just one novella, you can read them separately on the kindle, but I think you'd be missing out! Margaret Brownley wrote "Courting Trouble." Debra Clapton wrote "A Cowboy for Katie." Mary Connealy wrote "Spitfire Sweetheart." Robin Lee Hatcher wrote "Love Letter to the Editor."

The Heart's Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher

I always look forward to any book that is by Robin Lee Hatcher.  She tells such wonderful stories and I know that I won't be disappointed by them.  I liked this side of her writing, though it wasn't her typical style (and she admits that).  She did a wonderful job capturing my attention and getting me excited about her book.

I really like the cover of this book.  It's beautifully done and I think it easily shows what the book is about and the type of book.  The font on the title of the book is perfect for the cover, too.  Well done!

I was a little surprised at the amount of action that was in this book. It has romance, but it also has many exciting scenes of suspense and action.  It's probably not considered much to those who like to read a lot of action novels, but for me, this was just the right amount that I could handle!

Silver is one of those people that I think many want to be.  She's not your typical woman and I think that's why I like her so much.  She never acts helpless, but isn't afraid to fight for justice.  I liked imagining her on her horse and in control.... or at least acting like it!  She has to learn to do some trusting along the way, though.

I am looking forward to the next book in the Christian Romance series.

____________
The Heart’s Pursuit
A jilted bride desperate to save her family from ruin.
A bounty hunter seeking vengeance for a ravaged past.
An arduous trek toward justice–or redemption.
Silver Matlock and Jared Newman know traveling together is a bad idea. Bad for Silver’s already tarnished reputation in her small Colorado town. Bad for bounty hunter Jared’s secret, single-minded mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who left her at the altar and stole the last remnant of her father’s fortune. And Jared’s in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family–even if Silver is too distractingly beautiful for comfort.
The pair takes off over mountain and desert, past bleak homesteads and raw mining towns, hot on the trail of the two villains who took what wasn’t theirs to take. Soon supplies dwindle, secrets emerge, and suspicion leave Silver and Jared at odds when they need each other most. To confront an enemy deadlier than desert rattlesnakes and rocky cliffs, Silver and Jared must learn to forgive and trust and face the question they haven’t dared voice: What happens next?

A Bride for All Seasons by Margaret Brownley, Debra Clopton, Mary Connealy, and Robin Lee Hatcher

I really enjoyed reading the love connections that Melvin Hitchcock took it upon himself to orchestrate.  As owner of the Hitching Post Mail-Order Bride Catalogue, Melvin received letters from both men and women who were looking for a spouse.  Some had kids, some were heartbroken as soon as they arrived and saw their spouse, some thought they were dying, and others wanted a woman who had no interest in God.

 

Each novella takes on a different season and different characters for their stories.  But they all have one thing in common....Mr. Hitchcock.  He tends to leave some of the most important information out of his letters that he writes to those intended for each other.  However, in each case, he turns out to be right about the match that he had made by only reading letters.

 

Each author flowed seamlessly from one story to the next.  As I read the 4 stories, I never felt like I was reading 4 completely different authors.  I was quite impressed!  Instead, I felt like I was reading one continuous story that had major sections in the book.  That's quite a feat to pull off when you're talking about 4 different authors, each with their own writing style.  I liked each mail-order bride and particularly liked the mules in the story.  I laughed at Prudy and all of the scenes that she was in.  And then I liked Old Blue and imaging Megan trying to ride him. 

 

I hope all 4 authors can come together and write more stories together.  Their interview in the back of the book was fun to read, too.  I felt like I was listening in on their conversations!

Belonging by Robin Hatcher

I have seen Robin Hatcher's books in the bookstores and they always looked interesting but I never picked one up to read.  I'm not for sure why because I have a feeling that I have really been missing out on some really great reads.  I really liked everything about this book, from the cover to the storyline.

I had never really thought about what happened to orphans back in the 1800s.  The thought that they would just be put on a train to an unknown family and split up from brothers and sisters was so sad.  I couldn't even imagine what life would be like to be put in that place.  I was rooting for her to find her brother and sister.

I found Felicia to be a very likable person and she and Kathleen seemed to have such a beautiful friendship.  I really wanted Felicia and Colin to be together but I also wanted Kathleen to have someone special to take her out of their in-laws house.  That mother-in-law of hers is horrid and grumpy!  I liked that Felicia cared about her students and all that she helped Charity accomplish.

This is the first book in her new series, "Where the Heart Lives."  I am very much looking forward to reading the second book in this series.  I think I'm going to have to find all of her other books now!
