"Mary Jo Putney always delivers wonderful stories that hold my interest and leave me feeling wonderful!"
"I am a fan of all of Mary Jo's books. She creates very likeable characters. I have read all of her books."
"The main characters have personal struggles which they approach with grit and honor. Of course the love and peace of the Christmas season helps them resolve and love. I really liked the story set in the West especially because there are so few good stories set there."
"This was a really unique and memorable romance and much different than anything I've read from MJP before. It contains some serious subject matter...just be aware that it's not a light and easy read."
