review 1: With her latest release, THE RETURN OF THE STRANGER, veteran romance author Kate Walker takes the classic tale found in Wuthering Heights and lets it inspire her to create a modern take on the powerful story.STRANGER is part of a series, The Powerful and The Pure. In this title, Heath Montanha left England as an orphaned gypsy and made a new life for himself in Brazil. Now he’s rich and powerful, but he’s missing something. He thinks it’s revenge on the two men who kept him poor and powerless. What he’s soon to learn is it’s love in the form of the one woman who always believed in him, Lady Katherine, sister to one of Heath’s former tormenters, widow to the other.STRANGER might be inspired by a classic, but rest assured that Walker has taken the characters and ... moreatmosphere and brought them into the 21st century to make the story her own with high-voltage intensity. If this book could be described in only one word, it would be “chemistry.”
review 2: Kate Walker used Wuthering Heights as an inspiration for this classic Presents tale. I really liked that there were more secondary characters and how she used Bronte's tale as a jumping off point. But the characters are hers and hers alone. Kate has lectured about the Brontes before at the Bronte house and was well aware of the task ahead of her. She stepped up to the plate and crafted a great story using the WH trope.Although I know she is not fond of the recent ITV Wuthering Heights adaptation, I did keep seeing Tom Hardy as playing the hero -- Heath.This one has a place on my keeper shelf as Kate Walker is certainly at the top of her game. less
