OK the 4 stars are for Jodi Thomas' story alone.... see last story at bottom
Jennifer Blake — The Warlock's Daughter ** 2 stars
Not a fan of the author's writing style. Too much detailed descriptions of minutia. Especially when there was any action. I found I would get lost as to what was happening. Carita is a Warlock's daughter raised by her bitter aunt after the accidental death of her mother by her father. Like Cinderella, except her prince charming meets her in a cemetery. I got tired of the pushing away by Renfrew who intends to court her but changes his mind once she decides to be his.

Jodi Thomas — Shadow's Bend **** 4 stars
This story was somewhat similar to the movie; 'the lake house' except the letters are exchanged through a pony express satchel instead of a mailbox (except this story was written a decade before the movie).
Jamie lives with her shrewish older sister in 1902 Chicago, and Adam lives at a lonely express station in 1861 Shadows Bend (Texas?). A tall old man comes to her antique shop and gives her a pony express satchel that she could swear was empty until it wasn't. The correspondence turns to dreams and love. It's not quite that simple but it is a short story. The characters were nicely drawn and the ending was perfect. I love this author's writing. She really thinks about the situations she puts her characters in and how they would be affected. You feel the story with all of your senses.
A real sweet read and it's too bad that it is only available in this paperback. (I hate reading paperbacks now).
