I love western romance but I felt a bit cheated here. The plot is fantastic and it has so much potential but I just did not emotionally connect with the main characters. Jesse Starr is the son of a Kiowa princess and an English lord. Although he was raised by his father in England he was kidnapped and forced into slavery. When he escapes he goes in search of his mother Who is living with her tribe in Oklahoma. Before he reaches the reservation he finds Rebecca Throckmorton, heavily pregnant but abandoned in a remote cabin. Together the journey to find his mother then on to England to seek revenge against his half brother. I did not dislike the book but felt it could have been so much better.

When I am given an ARC to read and review I always promise to give a fair and honest review. I don't usually read books set in the old American west but something about the description for this book pulled me in. Gosh, I am so glad it did. Wonderful writing, characters and story! Really good read.

I was grateful to receive a free copy of When Comes Forever. This was a quick easy read. I enjoyed reading about Rebecca and how her youth and inexperience contributed to her meeting the wrong guy, getting married, and having a baby. Jesse was a great character. Even though he had no intention of taking on Rebecca and her baby after her husband died, Jesse was always there for her. My only regret is Jesse's mom never got her happy ending. I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family.

When Comes Forever

A superb book! Definite buy buy buy buy buy time! While I am not a fan of this genre of the western historical romance books, this one was superb! It has such depth and life. I was totally enthralled by the book from the beginning to the end and managed to read it in less than a day. I must say this is a book that you will remember. Each layer was absolutely engrossing. I love the characters as well as the way the story unfolded. Each part of life and each part of the totally time line was wonderfully done. This is a new author for me but I will be looking for her more and more! So if you want a superb western historical that spans so many layers, buy this book and just get ready to be enthralled by the writing. I was given this ARC via NetGalley. All opinions written here are my own and one willingly. Buy and enjoy! Regards Anna
