THE
LASS WORE BLACK by Karen Ranney (click here for review and voting button)
How many layers between the real me and the
one I let people see?
Having the wrong person love you and too
selfish to think of the harm it could bring was what ruined Catriona
Cameron. Forced to hide her mistakes
behind closed doors and drawn curtains, Catriona refuses to let another man
into her heart. Catriona would never
have expected a lowly “footman” to be the reason she cannot obtain a moment’s
rest.
Dr. Mark Thorburn started out as a footman to
gain entry into Catriona’s life and gain her trust. Mark never expecting it was her heart he
wanted to capture or that his need for her would obscure all else. The pretense was grueling as she never let
him forget his place in the food chain of life not knowing he had more rank and
money than she could ever imagine. Mark
could see through all the layers Catriona covered herself in to the real woman
who was exasperating and exhilarating all at the same time.
The problem that should have resolved itself
when the truth is revealed only becomes worse as Catriona’s demon
materializes. The journey Catriona has
taken to heal the old wounds should pave the way for love to step in but
instead someone is trying to crush her spirit once again.
With a spirited exchange of words Karen
Ranney has displayed how great romance is written and fascinating characters
are developed.
I love Karen's books. thanks for the great review.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy her books. It's always nice to hear a summary and/or review though - thanks.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
ReplyDeleteI love how you bring an author's story to life and when you have a book by an author like Karen it's a delight!
Karen brings such life to her characters and I love how from the first sentence to the last paragraph she draws you further into her stories! Once again she's treating her readers to a story that's not to be missed in The Lass Wore Black!
Of course if you really want to get to know Karen you have to meet her dog Flash! Now if we could just get her to write his book think of the fun we could have reading it!
I've also always enjoyed Karen's books! This one sounds good, too!
ReplyDeleteI have several of Karen's books and really enjoy reading them. I can't wait to read the next one!
ReplyDeleteShe would be a new to me author. This one sounds like a great read. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read Karen's books. This sounds like a good read and I can see she has fans from the comments here. I like the title too.
