Always My Love
A promise made, a love stronger than even death itself...
It began like a dream that slowly washes over the senses, teasing, promising with half-formed images. The cool shadows of Ombre Rose surrounded her and she felt herself drifting. All about she heard the murmur of the leaves, the sigh of the breeze through the overgrown vines and flowers...
'Promise me... '
The words came from somewhere...she couldn't seem to remember where.
It was then she felt it, or perhaps only imagined it, the lightest touch against her cheek, like the breath of the wind.
'Forever. Promise me.'
An incredible warmth wrapped around her, almost as if someone's arms embraced her. She might have struggled, except for the arms that held her. She might have cried out, except for the lips that caressed her lips, her cheek, then retraced each touch with a fiery heat that left her breathless.
Was it a moment, an hour, a day? Was it even real?

I have enjoyed all of Carla Simpson books so far, but this one was too much. The “hero” was a jerk and the storyline was absurd.

This book sure packed a lot into the story: the Civil War, reconstruction, espionage, smuggling, secret identities, as well as true love and reincarnation, which is why it took up so many pages. I'd like to say there was never a dull moment, but I wouldn't be honest if I did. What prevents me from giving this another star is all the endless run and chase scenes, with the pages of descriptions that go along with it. sure, you need some of that, but here it was a bit much. How many dark alleys, riverfronts, side streets, bayou bogs, felled trees, muddy waters, etc, can you read about without wanting to yell "Enough already!!" It's like those old slapstick movies, where you laugh when a guy gets a pie in the face, but after seeing two dozen people with pie all over themselves, you you can't even smile. The book could have been about 1oo pages less if it hadn't gone overboard with all those run and hide scenes.
Other than that, it makes for a good read, and you can easily skip those descriptions without a problem. And I'll have to admit, that after reading quite a few novels that take place either during or after the War Between the States, this time it was refreshing to have the leading man be the southerner, the leading lady be from the north, and for him to be the one saying "Damn Yankees."

I loved the storyline and characters...kept me wondering until the end. That said, the editing and formatting issues kept me from giving it five stars

War, espionage, reincarnation, random cross dressing, etc..
This book has a lot of action and mystery for a romance and yet still seems to deliver on the cheese factor. I liked this a lot.
