Marry Me by Sundown

I so loved this one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I hope there are more out .Love this author.!!!

Johanna lindsey is the best romance novelist of all time. Ive loved everyone of her books. Cant go wrong with johanna!!

I haven’t read Johanna Lindsey in a really long time. And paying $13 for an ebook— I don’t know if I’ll do that again anytime soon. It has to be a pretty spectacular book to be worth that spending that much!!So this was a pretty classic JL book. The heroine was feisty and the hero curmudgeonly. Buried under his gruff exterior was the handsome softy.The main complaint I have is that this book was super LONG with too much wishy-washy back and forth between the H and the h. It drug in the middle.And then after all that dragging it felt like it ended rather abruptly. I enjoyed the book. It was a good read but had some pretty unrealistic parts that just have to be overlooked in the name of romance novel tropes. The heroine also had a number of TSTL moments. And the “you’re an imposter”.... “no I’m not” went on too long.It was good, but somehow not as satisfying as I’d hoped or felt is should be. Maybe it is the expectations a $13 price tag sets. It didn’t quite reach that high.Edited to add: this is #3 in the Warren-Callahan family series. It comes after One Heart To Win and seems to be somewhat parallel to the storyline in Wildfire In His Arms. It’s not labeled in Amazon as #3 in the series and I didn’t even realize it until near the end of the book. I read #1 a long time ago— Tiffany and Hunter’s book. I have not read #2 about Degan Grant and Maxine. You don’t need to have read the other two books to enjoy this one. But this book contains spoilers for the other two as it comes after them timeline-wise.

FINAL DECISION: Just okay for me. The characters were nice, but the story was really, really slow to get into. Things ended up nicely and I enjoyed it overall, but not a book I would look to read again.THE STORY: Violet Mitchell traveled from London to her family's home in Philadelphia to find that her father has gone west to try and solve the family's looming money problems. Violet follows and find that her father is dead and needing to find his mine to save the family. Morgan Callahan doesn't believe the woman who has come snooping around is his deceased partner's daughter. So he kidnaps her to find out what she is really doing.OPINION: There wasn't anything in particular that I didn't like about this book. It just felt a little flat to me and it took a long time for me to get into the story. By the time the story picked up in the last half of the book, it was too late for this to be a great book for me.The characters were nice and I liked reading about the western setting, however, I didn't find the characters compelling and vibrant such that I would want to read their story again. I especially had a problem with Morgan who remains a mystery in his thoughts and motivations for almost the entire book. It made him feel too distant and indistinct to be a fascinating character.I also really didn't feel the connection between these characters for most of the book. They didn't clash, it just didn't feel like a deep passionate connection either.Overall, I liked the book, and I liked the story in a general way -- meaning that when I finished it I didn't feel that I had wasted my time reading it, but I don't think I'd pick this book up again wanting to revisit these characters or their story.WORTH MENTIONING: This book explores mining in the west. For me this was the most interesting part of the book.CONNECTED BOOKS: MARRY ME BY SUNDOWN is the third book in the Callahan-Warren series. Although there are some appearances by overlapping characters, this book operates as a complete standalone.STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.

I remember now why Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite authors. I love their romace. It was beautiful. A great read.

Relaxing way reading in escapism when needed a respite

OMG I fell I love with this series BUT I adored this story. It's pace and the characters are so enchanting and Morgan's story is just perfect. As always the loss of this author makes my heart sad but her works are a lasting memory.

I have been waiting for another winning storyline from this author and I am thrilled with this book. It has all of the classic makings of classic Johanna Lindsey, wonderful romance, exciting suspense and a memorable cast of characters.The dialogue was exceptionally well-written and the pace of this book was perfect along with the editing. Definitely one of her best romance stories and now a favorite of mine. Five stars is not enough for this book, but that's all I can give. I can hardly wait for the next book.

I love Johanna Lindsay books and this one is no exception. Well worth reading you will be addicted from the start.

Waiting to be read

Has never failed to please. Love Johanna Lindsay

Wife loves it

As usual Johanna Lindsey does not disappoint her readers. I have read all of her books and look forward to the next one.
