Book Review
of Colorado Silver, Colorado Gold
Colorado Silver, Colorado Gold
Synopsis: Socialite
Juliette Lawson fled west from Philadelphia on a train and in disguise. In
Colorado she’d be safe; she’d take work with her uncle at the Rio d'Oro, his
smelting operation. Her actions back east had been wrong, but to protect her
pregnant sister from scandal she would have done anything. Then she met a man
as hungry for answers as she was for independence. A handsome, honorable man.
For him, she wished the truth was hers to tell.
From
the first, Wes Westmoreland knew he couldn’t trust her. Having grown up in the saloons
and brothels of San Francisco, he saw trust, like love, as a luxury an
undercover lawman couldn’t afford. Not on a job like this one, not with gold
involved. This woman dressed as a widow was clearly hiding something; he’d felt
it the moment they touched. But he’d felt other things too, stirrings in his
heart, and for the first time ever, he saw riches worth the peril.
About the
Author:
Bio: Terry Irene Blain was lucky enough to grow up in a large Mid-western
family with a rich oral tradition. As a child she heard stories of ancestors’
adventures with Indians, wildlife, weather and frontier life in general, so she
naturally gravitated to the study of history and completed a BA and MA then
taught the subject at the college level. Married to a sailor, now retired,
she’s had the chance to live in various parts of the U.S. and has traveled to
Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland.
“My
degrees and my teaching experience make me a natural to write historical
romance. Writing historical romance gives me the opportunity to pass on stories
of who we are and where we come from while exploring the relationship between
men and women. What could be more exciting than that?”

Book Review:
Well I’m just a big ole sucker for a
romance. I love that love conquers
all. What I especially enjoyed in
Colorado Silver Colorado Gold was that the author used events that occurred where
the cause was unknown and gave a cause that fit the story (like the fire).
I also loved the family connections
in this story which gave a slightly different take than your typical
romance. The only thing I didn’t like
was that it took so long to find out what it was that caused Julie to flee Philadelphia. That was a huge issue in the story and it
took forever to find out what exactly it was.
I get that us not knowing was part of the tension of Wes not knowing,
but it bugged me. And honestly, if that’s
all I have to complain about then this is definitely worth reading…. Especially
since finding out why she fled is so thrilling.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
