Dangerous Gifts

Rating:
Summary: Read this book!
Review: Haywood's books always pull your heart strings and make you think. She is a one of a kind writer. Love, faith and trust are indeed the most dangerous gifts. Palmer and Claire learn they are not only the most dangerous, but the only ones worth having.

Summary: Abscess makes the heart strings falter
Review: I can honestly say that I have never read a romance novel in which the hero and the heroine first meet over the huge pus-filled mass in his abdomen.

Exchanging glances over the mangled body of toddler impaled on a tree limb, ooooh romantic.

Believe me, escapism in romance is still allowable.

Summary: Read this book!
Review: I wish more people would discover this author's wonderful work. I've read all her books except the first one (Shadows in Velvet), but plan to do so pronto! Her books are not only rich in history and romance, they have a touch of mystery as well. Also the plots are well developed with high quality prose and facinating characters that you fall in love with from page one. In DANGEROUS GIFTS, Claire and Palmer are two lost souls who find each other through the magic of healing. The author does a great job of delivering an excellent read here. Ten stars! Other really good books by H.S. are SECRETS IN SATIN and DAMASK ROSE.

Summary: love heals, a concept that is beautifully developed
Review: This book has an exciting story that is beautifully interwoven with the concept of grace and healing love. Haywood Smith did a masterful job of bringing us into the characters and into the story that shows how love heals all hurts for those who patiently wait and care for one another. I am off to look for more books by Haywood!

Summary: Haywood Smith only gets better!
Review: This book is her best yet! In an era when life is hard and painful, two soul-wounded and lonely travelers find room in their hearts for each other. A spiritually uplifting read in which we are reminded that we cannot succeed alone. The depth and sensitivity that Haywood builds into her characters is phenomenal. I will read this book again and look forward to her next!
