Forever Mine

Summary: Storyline info
Review: A mail-order bride from Cincinnati, Ariah Scott had traveled
all the way to Oregon to marry one man... only to lose her
heart to another. What would become of her now? Ever since her
father had died at the hands of a vengeful relative, Ariah's
life had been shadowed by dark secrets. And now her forbidden
desire for Bartholomew Noon filled her with uncertainty -- and
a secret longing that could never be fulfilled.
From the moment Bartholomew saw Ariah standing alone in the
Portland Station, the keeper of the Cape Meares Light was
lost. Hopelessly in love with this angelic beauty who was
fated to live beside him at the isolated lighthouse as another
man's wife, Bartholomew never dreamed that destiny would
someday bring them together. Would Ariah truly be the woman he
could cherish... forever?

Summary: Characters to remember!
Review: Ariah and Bartholomew are characters who come to life on the pages. Hester does, too, but I really just wanted to wring her neck! Ms. Raddon's gifted writing weaves a poignant web of angst and emotion as well as paints vivid pictures of the seaside setting. Lovely, lovely storytelling. I will definitely read more of Ms. Raddon's stories. I'm sorry to see Forever Mine is out of print.
