"This Book is a Keeper" Cathy Denver, Int. Review of Books *****

Geoff has created a readable romantic fiction set in colonial New Zealand. His historical facts are, for me, his greatest strength. The main characters are strongly portrayed and give a good insight into the struggles of the time, plus room for romance. I enjoyed the book. Easy to read and delightful. I recommend a look. J Doherty.

Forgiven gives an interesting insight into the Boer War and is an intricate part of a fascinating love story. It is an easy and enjoyable read. I read it over a weekend and enjoyed it immensely. Warrick.

Once I started reading it I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. A Fluty

I read this book and enjoyed it very much. It was easy to read whilst being thought-provoking in parts. Lawson can do "thought-provoking" without being incomprehensible, with Geoff, you do understand. He has an ear for dialogue and seems to understand women very well - and in addition, he has a very good grip on history. I'd recommend Forgiven and I'm not going to give away more! Jean Hendy-Harris.
