Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good historical romance
Review: Sunset embrace was one of the first Sandra Brown books that I read and it was GOOD!I've read lots of historical romances and sometimes after a while they can all seem the same but this one by Sandra Brown is one of those that you remember reading years later.It's what I call a keeper.The sequel-Another Dawn-was also good.In fact all of her books are fantastic. Good plot twists and great characters-blend that with suspense and romance and you've got best sellers.Hope she never changes her style of writing.I'm a fan forever.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SUNSET EMBRACE
Review: This book is great in that it describes heaving bosoms in so many different ways. It wasn't what I expected from such a writer. And what was this? He prized her knees apart? I think he pried. The descriptions of Ross and Lydia were so repetitious.And phony. The history wasn't right either. Divorces were not the common thing they are today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you're a historical romance fan, this is a keeper!
Review: This book is one of the first historical romance novels that I had ever read, and I hope that other readers will enjoy it as well as I did. This is the story is written so well, that I was able to picture what was going on, and almost hear the sounds of the wagon wheels. The reader is able to get involved in the struggles of the passengers of the wagon train. This book is very well written, and if you're a historical romance fan, this is the book for you. I also reccommend the sequal ANOTHER DAWN. I am hoping that Sandra will continue on with her stories of Lydia, Jake, Banner, and the whole crew! Keep up the good work Sandra!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book was great. It draws you in and keeps you turning pages. Very well done. I'm an avid romance reader and I like'em fun, sexy and exciting, but I want a good story too. This book does that as does my newest favorite "Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons, A sizzler with a hero to die for. Romance readers would love them both.

Summary: Wagon Train Passion
Review: This is one of my favorite of Sandra Brown's romances, and one of the few where she attempted historical fiction. The story takes place on a wagon train to Texas, and whether or not Brown researched her facts, it all rings perfectly true. In fact it is mesmerizing.

The book begins as a young girl gives birth alone and in agony, in the woods. Rather than hoping for herself and the baby to live, she prays for death for them both. Half her wish comes true: the baby is stillborn, and Lydia, the young mother, falls into unconsciousness.

Before the wolves can find her, Lydia, still unconscious, is found by the Langtry family, and is saved by Ma Langtry, who happens to be the midwife-cum-earth mother for a wagon train heading west. Lydia awakes in Ma's wagon, in a clean bed, wearing a clean nightgown, and lovingly tended by Ma and her daughter Anabeth. We soon realize that Lydia is woefully innocent of female matters, to the point where she hardly realizes how she got pregnant in the first place. But even in her pain and weakness, she refuses to divulge the name of the baby's father.

Meanwhile, in another wagon, one of the group's handsome and stalwart leaders, Ross Coleman, has just lost his dainty blueblood wife in childbirth. The baby survives, but will soon die if it cannot be nourished, and in his grief, Coleman barely spares his new son a glance. Enter Ma Coleman. She has a girl without a baby, and a baby without a mother. Voila! Lydia will serve as wet-nurse to the infant. Despite Coleman's strong objections, Lydia is moved to his wagon, is helped by Ma to put the baby to her breast, and baby and girl form an instant bond.

Not so Lydia and the girl's father. Ross is convinced that Lydia, an unmarried mother, is a tramp. Lydia's pride will not let her dispute that point. The animosity between the two is somewhat tempered by the infant's obvious health and contentment in Lydia's care, and her willingness to work as hard as any of the other women in the pioneer group. Of course, an attraction arises and grows between Ross and Lydia, and that is the heart of the book.

But their relationship is as bumpy as the dangerous trail they are traveling. Not only do they have to contend with the hardships and dangers that any wagon train would face, but they are also being stalked by a murderous madman intent on rape and murder. Will Ross ever acknowledge his love for Lydia? Will she be able to overcome her fear of men enough to be in his arms? Will the baby survive? Will the madman destroy the wagon train?

Read the book and find out...it will be impossible to put down until the explosive conclusion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best
Review: This is truly one of the best historical romances I have read, and I have been an avid romance reader for over 25 years. The story is timeless and has everything you want. Love, jealousy, hate, lust, passion, pain, it's all here. From page one, you are a part of the characters lives and feel intensely the journey it takes to love someone whether for the first time or after loving another, and hopefully you will see the nuances of eye contact and touches that transcend hot and steamy sex although the book contains both tender and heated passages.

Another Dawn, the sequel to Sunset Embrace is not as good, but is definitely worth 4 stars. Don't miss either one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ROMANCE AT ITS BEST!!!
Review: This story is kind of a tear jerker but that is what makes it more interesting and believable. Highly recommend. I usually don't care for western romances but this is a keeper!!!!!!!
