Summary: Honey girl
Review: As I turned the final page, I wished I could stay with Shannon and Whip through the rest of their lives together

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was the sweetest book I've ever read!
Review: Elizabeth Lowell is a great writer. I love how she seems topull you into the story and into the characters' lives, pain, joy, andesctasy. Whip is a wanderlust man who's always searching for something he can't name, something he calls "the sunrise he've never seen". The most exciting part of the book is waiting for Whip to finally realizing his foolishness and accepted his most desired "sunrise". Another thing why I like this novel is because unlike other stories, the hero actually have to put some efforts into winning the heroine's heart first, while in the others, all the hero has to do is stands there and the heroine is swooned with his masculinity and maleness that she just falls to her knees in front of him. That's the sweet part in this novel, the best out of the "Only" series. END

Summary: Great frontier romance!
Review: Elizabeth Lowell's "Only" series offers the best romance novels set in the American West, and "Only Love" is a great conclusion to the series. The romance at the heart of the story has great emotional intensity and will be immensebly satsifying to romance readers. What particularly impressed me with this book was Lowell's vivid description not only of the hazards and difficulties of frontier life, but I was also moved by the enormous difficulties for women on the frontier unlucky enough to be without reliable male protection. Like the heroine in this story, Shannon, these women had to struggle with the common obstacles to survival while simultaneously protecting themselves in a relatively lawless land where single women were seen as fair game. What was particularly nice about this novel is that Shannon was not looking for a man to help make her life easier; she will only surrender her independence for true love. All in all, a very satisfying book.

Summary: The best of the Only Series
Review: I had to special order this book because I couldn't find it around town. What a treat! I think this was the best of the Only series, and I've read them all. I really enjoyed Whip and Shannon's pains and joy and couldn't put it down. And Lowell makes you feel like you are out west with them. A must read if you are an Elizabeth Lowell fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I didn't want the storys to end.
Review: I liked this book just as well as the others if not more. I could understand why Whip had to leave and I understand why Shannon had to stay. I can identify with Shannon, I would rather stay in the middle of nowhere not having to depend on anyone but myself than to have to depend on someone else if it wasn't my man. I identify with Whip as well, I wouldn't be able to give up the feeling of freedom and the rush I get by yondering. For both it is not giving up there soal nomadder how much they care for eachother. Truly wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Characters, great adventure, great romance!
Review: I read this book in 2 days and couldn't put it down. Then I passed it on to my sisters who both read it within the next week. When they gave it back to me, I read it again! All you have to do is read the first exciting chapter when "Whip" goes after those awful Culpeppers with his bullwhip, and you'll be hooked too.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Can't stand alone
Review: I really enjoy Lowell. She's one of my favorites. Somehow in my reading, I'd overlooked this latest book in the series. Don't know how! I expected something as wonderful as ONLY YOU, Reno and Eve's story. This book had all the makings to satisfy that urge. The opening pages were wonderful and I liked the characters. Then a funny thing happened--I stopped understanding them. Whip, despite the fact he cared about Shannon in a way he'd never cared about anyone, knew he couldn't stay because he was a yondering man. What??? That's his only reason for leaving. He wasn't sure he could hack staying in one place? Lowell tried to give a reason why he thought remaining in Colorado will kill his soul, but I wasn't buying it. Shannon also didn't make any sense. Why on earth would you stay in a cabin where you might easily starve or freeze to death over the winter, or if you weren't, be raped by the odious Culpepper brothers? Why not go to the nearest town and find some job? I never understand these characters who are willing to risk death to prove a minor point. It wasn't like she loved this cabin or had anything truly sentimental to hold her there. Whip said leave, so she said no. That was their conflict. If you can swallow all that and keep reading, the writing is beautiful, as usual. The emotions were poignant and touching. The story is vivid, and Lowell even like this is still better than a whole bunch of the romances out there. It's worth a read, especially if you don't expect the sizzling conflict of ONLY YOU.

Rating: 4 stars
