review 1: This wrap-up story was too good to end; that is, I didn't want it to. The details of what Irish immigrants endured on arrival in the United States gave an historical anchor to the story even as it follows Margaret's flight westward, as so many people did, though not necessarily for the same reasons.The post-Civil War experiences of freed slaves and Southerners as they sought to rebuild their lives also informs the story and provides a rich back story to Tait's life. Occasional references to both the characters and the experiences that first appeared in the two previous stories gave a finality to this novel. But is it too much to ask if there will be future stories in this series? I certainly hope so.
review 2: Kaki Warner has once again masterfully set us in he... morer time machine and turned the dials to this time start on the streets of late 1800's New York City. Here she sets the stage for Irish-born Lucinda Hathaway and her journey across country by train until she finally lands in Heartbreak Creek and joins the other "brides" in the Runaway Bride Series. The love between Lucinda and Tait Rylander, a scrapper yet Southern gentleman, consummates when they team up to fight the evil in Lucinda's past. I especially appreciate that the author had to replicate some of the plotline from this series in order for the reader to fully understand Lucinda's link to the previous brides (just in case the reader hadn't read any or all of the preceding stories) but that she did it in a most unobtrusive way. I yearn to see more of Kaki Warner's works, and I pray she already has something cookin'! less
