Reviews

[Carolyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Apparently, this was one of the author's first books. Things definitely improved after this one. ;)

[Lyndi W. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honor is an indignant twat at the beginning, but if you can push past that... it's pretty good. Sala's older work is a bit dated and flowery, hyperbolic vows and proclamations of love after only a few days, etc. But it's also entertaining.

I feel like the author was toying with the idea of Out of the Dark when she wrote this, or maybe used this story as the framework for OotD a decade later. Either way, a lot of similarities.

Honor's Promise

Very enjoyable book. The storyline was an interesting one. I love the way the heroine seems to be so strong and doesn't take crud from anyone.

[Mara · Rating 1 out of 5]

If you care about plot, characters and good writing I would suggest you stay clear of this romance. Insta love is the better sin this book has, the rest is really worse.
The book is only 1$ though, you can decide on your own ;)

Enjoyable

[Ann C. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I enjoyed the book, but one could tell that it was dated.

In the present time, cell phones would have been available. That would have taken some of the angst out of the book. As the characters could have called each other and not depended on someone else for forwarding a message.

Honor was a very trusting soul. She went on a date with Trace without knowing who he was. She got in a car with someone who she thought was a cop without a qualm. That would not happen today. Frankly, I would not have done it in 1992.

The author reuses names and plots. There was a Charlotte (Charlie) and Judy in a book that I read recently. This book had a long lost granddaughter. There were a couple of other books with a long lost daughter, that I have read.

I did not understand why Honor was so mad at Trace. He was just the messenger. She should have been angry with her mother as she was the one who caused the situation.

The book was a short read and I did enjoy it, though it was definitely dated.

This early Sala story has a man and woman destined to meet. He is the second-in-command at a large Denver corporation; she is the mystery woman mentioned in an important letter to his boss, the patriarch of a shrinking family.

The woman is beautiful and intriguing. The man is intrigued and reluctant to tell her of his real mission. She runs away from his truth but reluctantly accompanies him to Denver.

She faces more truth, danger, and love there. There is a happy ending and, as in many cases of Sala's later stories, the woman is as much responsible for her own salvation as any man could be.

[Lorena Helfers · Rating 1 out of 5]

The most ridiculous story I've ever read. So many unreal parts to the situations. I laughed from the stupidity of it all. When one lives in the mountains anywhere, one has a rifle to go exploring noises in the basement along with a "flashlight". The sex was an Edith Bunker after three glasses of wine trying to explain sex. Yes sex was had but only after the fact.
There are so many inconsistencies that I am really disappointed with the author.
I've only given one other book a one star. This is the second.

[Kate Vale · Rating 5 out of 5]

When a woman kidnaps a baby, the action has implications for more than her and the child. How that action affects the family from which Honor was stolen forms the backdrop of a tale that gets more complicated for her grandfather and other family members, to say nothing of the man he sends to find her and bring her home. But home for Honor isn't necessarily in Colorado. And then Trace falls for her. How is this all going to work out when it's clear someone's out to kill her?

Suspense and so much more

There is nothing more suspenseful than Sharon's stories. The love and adventures keeps a person glued to the end. I have never been able to stop until I finish an entire book.

Honors Promise

I dearly love all my Sharon Sala books. She writes stories that tug at my heart and I love reading them over and over.

Love this book

[Dawn ♥ romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story had a good premise and plenty of action but it didn't feel realistic. The relationship was inconsistent with characters fluctuating between mad and sorry and sometimes I didn't understand why. The bad guy was able to do things way to easily. Honor learns her deceased mother kidnapped her and Trace representing her natural family hopes to reunite her with them.

Better Then I Thought

When I first picked up this one I thought ok it might be ok the thought man this is not going be good at all.
But I was so wrong so very wrong it was great.
I really enjoyed it more then I thought I would.
