But I agree. Everybody was so horrid that it was hard to not feel blood-thirsty about them all.<br /><br />Heath's older westerns and Laura Lee Guhrke's pre-Avon historicals were the hardest books for me to find when I started reading romance. I eventually landed them all - although I need to verify I actually own Parting Gifts by Heath.

I just had to "drop by" to say that Heath's AtR was choice #2 on my July TBR read, but, of course, I left it to the last minute and had to take the road more travelled by reading "short."

...(Your blog doesn't like me anymore, Ms Wendy)<br /><br /><br />I was very lucky in finding a copy of this book, long before I first stumbled upon the online romance community, thanks to the good offices of my neighborhood used book store.<br /><br />I treasure that copy. This is one of those books that stay with you for a very, very long time. The story is beautifully written, and the two main characters pull you in and just plain don't let go--ever. It's been at least fifteen, sixteen years since I first read it, and I still remember how deeply the story and the characters moved me--on that first read and on every re-read since.<br /><br />One of which, come to think about it, is due just about now.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-8030970951406282732014-07-16T08:46:49.768-07:002014-07-16T08:46:49.768-07:00Yes, yes, yes!

It should be considered one. <br /><br />Clay makes a fantastic western hero, but I thought that Heath's characterization of Meg was fabulous. Shoot, the whole book is just brilliantly executed. <br />Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-83705508499249743132014-07-16T07:13:30.895-07:002014-07-16T07:13:30.895-07:00You couldn't have put it any better.
