Catherine Palmer

Yet another book that took me forever to read simply because it took a while for me to get into it.  I love historical romances, but maybe this era is just not for me.  Totaly mideval (sp?) but after several chapters I started to enjoy it. 

Marah Morgan comes to help her father after he suffers a disabling injury.  The man never showed any love to her and he holds the key to a tragedy from her childhood.  Government archaelogists arrive to excavate Indian burial grounds on the land and Marah is suspicious.  And, then a mysterious farmhand arrives who fascinates her but also frightens.  Marah must rely on her faith for the strengt

This book was the first in the LIH line and it set the standard very high. I had never read this author before and I was impressed with The Briton. It is one of the best books I have read so far this year.

Get ready to be transported to 12th Century remote Briton and meet Browden as she leaves her home and finds her world turned upside-down. It was easy to become lost in this book.

  I definitely recommend this book. Catherine Palmer captures the characters' emotions in a way that is not only credible but touching. I felt for Mara and found myself wondering what I would do if I were in her situation, widowed with a baby.

A very interesting take--not quite what I was expecting from the first LIH! The heroine's exploration of her own beliefs and coming to terms with the hero's Christian faith was handled nicely. There was perhaps a bit of confusion in some of her goals and actions, but it was a convincing and moving story that drew me in. I'll look forward to another one! (MTH)

The debut novel for the new Love Inspired Historical line is a solid piece of romantic fiction that will thrill the heart of anyone who ever watched those classic knights-and-castles movies of the 1940s and '50s.

Wow!  I am amazed that Catherine wrote this book 23 years before it was published!!!!!  It was a very fluent read that set a high mark for the LIHistoricals sure to follow!

Lady Bronwen is a typical oldest sibling.  She takes her responsibility to her family very serious.  She would do anything to defend her families property. 

This is a great book! Bronwen is a strong, determined woman. Yes, she marries for political reasons, but that's because she has deep loyalties to her father and her country.
