Summary: Very Good Sequel to Duncan's Bride!
Review: This is the sequel to Duncan's Bride. In "Loving Evangeline", we meet Evangeline Shaw (Evie)who lives in a small town in Alabama, owns a marina and is trying to keep her life together after the death of her young husband (her childhood sweetheart)years before. Into her world enters Robert Cannon. We first met Robert in Duncan's Bride (Madelyn's stepbrother). Robert's company develops classified software that is being sold to a foreign government without his approval. His trail leads straight to Evie, who by all accounts has both the means and the motives. Determined to handle this matter himself and under the premise of vacationing in the area for the summer, Robert begins his investigation of Evie. Robert has always been attracted to tall, thin women but this five foot four traitor takes his breath away! He has every intention of bringing her to justice but as time goes on it becomes increasingly difficult to believe she is involved in industrial espionage. This is a very good read. As usual, Evie is one of Linda's heroines who can tough it out and survive. Robert plays some pretty mean tricks on her but she bounces back and eventually brings him to his knees. I hope you enjoy this sexy, sensual story as much as I did.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: This is without doubt one of my favorite books by Linda Howard. Evie's integrity is amazing and it shows a person who is scared to fall in love again, yet has the courage to accept do so. Robert seemed like an unfeeling type of guy in the beginning, but I learned to like him through out the book. What amazed me was that Roberts was willing to help Evie not get sent to jail even though he thought she was guilty of the conspiracy. This goes to show how much he came to care about Evie. What I liked, is that Linda Howard included Madelyn's and Reese's characters (from "Duncan's Bride") in this book. I recommend readers to read "Duncan's Bride" before they read "Loving Evangeline", but if you don't, that's all right b/c the 2 stories are not really deeply related to each other. I'm still looking for "Mackenzie's Mountain," "Come Lie With Me," and "An Independent Wife." If anyone is interested in selling any of them to me at a reasonable price, please let me know.
