About the author
Linda Lael Miller
553 books3,221 followersThe daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a spacious property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 MIRA Books hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
Dedicated to helping others, “The First Lady of the West” personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.

Together by Linda Lael Miller is a 2017 Avon publication. (Originally published in 1996)
This is a collection of short historical romances. There are five stories in the collection, and all were written back in the nineties.
In All Seasons-
The Scent of Snow
That Other Katherine
Store Bought Woman
Switch
The stories all have a similar theme of lovers being separated in one way or another and brought back together by love.
Personally, I can’t recall ever having read any of Linda Lael Miller’s historical romance novels!! I have read her contemporary western romance novels, though, and I usually enjoyed them. I had not added this book to my TBR list for some reason, but I found it on my Kindle device while looking for another book.
Curious, I started reading these stories and was surprised to find they were not contemporary. While, these stories are a bit dated in places, and of course, the brevity makes the story feel too rushed, I do recall reading lots of books with this style of writing back in the nineties. I enjoyed “The Other Katherine”, as it was a time slip story, which was so popular back then.
Overall, though, despite my not being a huge fan of short stories, I enjoyed the nostalgic feeling these stories had for me. These days, though far and few between, Miller’s contemporaries are much more my style.

IN ALL SEASONS
Together as two hearts once torn apart by greed and deception are united by a vow of eternal love.
Christian and Melissande had fallen in love young. Shortly before they were to marry, Mellissande was told that Christian had died when his ship sank. Distraught, she tried to kill herself, but was stopped by Christian's older brother who offered to marry her instead. Rather than do so, Melissande enters a convent, where she hopes to become a nun.
Two years later a badly beaten man is found outside the gates of the convent. Melissande is overjoyed to discover that it is Christian. Her joy soon turns to heartbreak as he accuses her of betraying him and sending him to slave in the galleys of her father's ships. He wants nothing to do with her now, but must accept her assistance while he heals. Christian refuses to believe her protestations of innocence.
Over the next month, as he heals, Melissande is horrified to hear about the conditions on the ships. Now that her parents are dead, she is the owner and she is determined to make changes. Though he claims to have nothing but hatred for her now, Christian won't let her go to London alone. During the journey and after they arrive, Christian finds that he can't help being protective of her.
Melissande knows that she still loves Christian and tries to get him to accept the truth. She finds that she needs his help to accomplish her goals, just as he needs her assistance for his. I loved seeing Christian confronted by the truth when they reached his lands, and seeing him admit his fears to Melissande. I loved seeing them work together to achieve their goals. The ending was very nicely done.
THE SCENT OF SNOW
Together when true caring overcomes desperation and turns mistrust into devotion.
Very good story. Rebecca had brought her two young sisters to Cornucopia, Washington from Chicago in order to give them a better life. It isn't easy and things are tight, but they have a stable life there. Then one day Lucas Kiley comes riding up to the house, a man she never expected to see again. Lucas was just as stunned to see her. They had known each other in Chicago, where they had grown very close. When her father showed up and left her sisters with her, Rebecca had to find a way to support them all. At the same time, Lucas had been involved in an accident and was reportedly dead of his injuries. When she was given his effects she found the deed to the Cornucopia property and moved there, calling herself his wife.
Rebecca fully expects Lucas to kick her out of his home, but he doesn't. He begins to act as if they are really married. She is surprised and confused by his care and kindness, and by the way she feels when he is near. It doesn't take long for her to fall deeply in love with him. But she has a secret that has followed her from Chicago and she's afraid of what Lucas's reaction will be.
Lucas was surprised to find his home occupied when he arrived, even more so by who was there. His memories of Rebecca were one of the things that kept him going through the long days of his recovery. He discovered that he liked having Rebecca and her sisters there, and the idea of being married is growing on him. The revelation of her secret shakes his faith in her and his feelings, and he has to make a decision about what to do.
In spite of this being a short story, I really felt the progression of their romance. I loved how Lucas saw that Rebecca had never really had anyone take care of her, and how sweetly he did it. Rebecca's growing desire for Lucas was beautifully done. Her unhappiness after her big revelation had me in tears for her and waiting anxiously to see what Lucas would do. I loved the ending.
THAT OTHER KATHERINE
Together for a second chance at life and love.
The story begins with Katherine beginning to regain consciousness after being in a car accident, but it doesn't last. She pleads for her life with the "bright light" and suddenly comes to in the middle of labor in a strange place. She's quite disoriented, but within a few hours discovers that she has been transported into the body of a woman from the late 1800s. She quickly realizes that all is not well between the woman and her husband, who has accused her of infidelity.
Katherine can see that the baby is indeed Gavin's child. She knows that if she is going to be stuck in this time she is going to have to repair her relationship with her husband, but has no idea how to do it. So the first thing she does is to learn all she can about the other woman. She is also determined to be herself, which really confuses the people around her.
Gavin doesn't know what to make of the changes in his wife. He had married her for love and was hurt and furious with her actions. He decides to send her away for awhile to give him some peace. But the things he hears back from the servants confuse him and when he goes to see her there's a new spark between them. He no longer trusts her and resists those feelings for as long as he can.
I enjoyed seeing Katherine make the decision to go with the life she has been given, but also to make it her own. She isn't going to sit back and suffer the consequences of the other woman's actions. She works hard to show Gavin that she's different and that they can be happy together.
STORE-BOUGHT WOMAN
Together when misdirected desire unexpectedly leads to lasting happiness.
Bess had left Philadelphia to become a mail order bride in order to escape bad memories. She arrived only to discover that the man she was to marry had left town, leaving his brother to pick up the pieces. Will is a big man, not as polished as his brother, but very kind. He is taken by Bess right away and would really like her to stay and marry him.
Bess feels rather out of her depth with the life here so much different than her life back home. She's not too sure about Will at the beginning, but is willing to get to know him. I liked his patience with her fears and how he tried to make her feel at home. He quickly falls for her but fears that he isn't good enough for her.
Her fears overwhelm her at one point and she has to decide if her growing love for him is enough to face the risks. I liked the way it ended.

Enjoyable stories, but not my favorite type of story from Linda Lael Miller. I like her Western Romance stories the best.

These stories were very quick reads. Each novella is about 100 pages.
Unfortunately, LLM spends too much time setting up each story that the endings are all rushed. My favorite of the bunch would be The Scent of Snow or The Other Katherine. I thought Store Bought Woman was surprisingly so sad. I think we need more the story for a happier ending.
Overall, these stories were pretty similar in general plot but in different settings.

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review. This book is a compilation of 5 short stories all by the same author. In order within the book: In All Seasons: This story is of Melissande Bradgate, the daugher of a wealthy shipping merchant, and Christian Lithwell, the second son of an Earl. These two fall in love but tragic events tear them apart. When they are brought back together it takes a lot of time to see if they can be together again. I thought this story was ok but, like the other stories in the novel, I couldn't really get into the story line and characters I couldn't see any development. The Scent of Snow: This story is about Rebecca and her two half-sisters Annabelle and Susan. Rebecca thought her friend Lucas Kiley died but when he shows up after she's told the whole town they had been married so now they have to pretend to be married. I particularly didn't care for this one, it was unrealistic and puritanical. That Other Katherine: This story is about Katherine Hollis, who realizes that she is dying in a hospital in 1991 and after begging to live wakes up in the body of Katherine Winslow in the year 1895 during the midst of childbirth. Her husband Gavin hates her and the whole town knows about her most recent affair. This story was really interesting and I thought it had a lot of potential but then the ending kind of lost me, everything was wrapped up too quickly. Store-Bought Woman: Bess Campbell travels across the country to marry John Tate, only his brother Will is the only one she finds. They basically figure out how to make it work. This one was really cheesy and made me roll my eyes a bit. I didn't particularly like it. Switch: This book weirdly enough is not listed in the description, but anyways this story is about Jamie Roberts, who switches places with her twin sister, Sara, at Sara's request. Unknown to her she's walking into a world of danger. Luckily she finds she can count on Sara's previous lover, Rowan Parrish, to help her out. The concept behind this was weird, the whole Rowan + Sara and then Rowan + Jamie thing. Other than that there were some ok points to the story but I wasn't engaged much at all.

Upon starting this book with "In All Seasons," I was instantly surprised by encountering a historical romance, rather than a modern romance as what I expected from the cover. The story was quite captivating between relationship dynamics being changed drastically because of miscommunication and the meddling acts of scorned love. At times, I felt like the flow of the story stuttered either due to repetitive information or not being able to fully flush the concept out due to the short story format. Otherwise, I was satisfied with how everything got sorted out between the two main characters and the story's conclusion.
While "The Scent of Snow" is a bit weak with the general storyline, it makes it up with a well-written romance. The progression of former acquaintances to lovers flowed easily and realistically, and I was quite pleased with the intimate scenes.
"That Other Katherine" is probably my favorite piece of the entire collection. I enjoyed the unique means of time travel of our main character; it gave me Outlander vibes with our main character finding her true love in a former era. The only fault I found with this story is that it was in a short story format. I would have loved to see it expanded more into a novel length.
Probably the weakest of the stories would be "Store-Bought Woman." The storyline was pretty standard - woman expects to be married to one man but ends up with the brother. I didn't feel like I connected with the characters as well as did with the ones in the other stories, which may have played a part in not being impressed with this story. Also, I felt like side bits were added in just for the sake of creating the scenery atmosphere but didn't add any genuine depth to the plot (i.e. interactions with Indians and the neighbor couple).
The final story "Switch" wasn't exactly a new concept - identical sisters who live different lives switch places; however, the stolen art piece plot aspect was a different twist to the whole concept. It was easy to sympathize with Jamie as she tries to fill in her sister Sara's shoes, after being inadequately prepared for the world she was thrusted into. I did briefly have a hard time excepting the sudden romance between Rowan and Jamie, but was pleased with the conclusion. My favorite character was Lazarus the cat.
Overall, this was a nice collection of short stories. It was neat to see that all of the stories except the first one mostly took place in the Seattle area. Finally, this is an occasion of you shouldn't judge a book by the cover; none of the stories matched up with it, time period or aesthetic wise.

When I started reading Together, an anthology of five novellas by Linda Lael Miller, I had an “ut-oh” moment because the first was a historical and I tend to stay away from most historicals. However, the writing was compelling, so I stuck with it.
Reading romance novellas requires that the reader suspends some of the expectations that they bring to novel reading. Obviously characters can’t be as developed as they are in novels and there is more of a chance of insta-love. Of the five novellas, four were historicals, although one involves time travel (or something like it), and I found that I didn’t really care about the insta-love. In most cases, the two already people knew each other, which kind of quells ragings about insta-love.

Compilation of novellas. Compilation was published in 2017. All the novellas were originally published between 1991 and 1996. (I.e. when I was in elementary school)
I liked some of the stories better than others.
My favorite one was The Other Katherine. Where Katherine Hollis from 1991 and Katherine Winslow from 1895 both find themselves on the other side facing death. Winslow wants to die, Hollis does not. They switch bodies/lives and get what they want - life and death. Hollis now living as Winslow (in her body) in 1895 has just had a baby and needs to save her marriage to Dr. Gavin Winslow from the scandal that she has been left to deal with. I wanted this so badly to be a full length. Now I need to see if I can find more romance novels that have the freaky-Friday/body switching/timeline jumping storyline.

Meh. The writing was ok, nothing awe-inspiring. But in all fairness I think it was because these were all short stories instead of books. When they do this with romance, it never seems to work. There doesn't seem to be enough time to really make me become invested in the characters or to make their "falling in love" believable. On the other side, some of these story lines were very interesting and I would have LOVED to have seen each of them in a full length book, where the plot and characters could have had the time they needed to develop. I tend to stay away from a romance book of short stories. My fault though, I was throwing books in a bag for a vacation and this one was the last one I had. Since I had read all the others, I made myself read this, but again, it just wasn't that enjoyable. I'd be willing to try some of Miller's full length books, though.

Loved the stories .....
In All Seasons - Published 1996 - Set in 1503 - A great second chance at love story.
The Scent of Snow - Published in 1992 - Set in 1892 - A great feel good read.
That Other Katherine - Published in 1991 - A very well done time travel saga that I couldn't put down. Taking the main character from 1991 back to 1895. Super great read.
Store-Bought Woman - Published in 1993 - Set in 1873 - Mail-order bride with a twist. Sweet.
Switch - Published in 1994 - Twins switch places. Done well with suspense.

I loved every single story in this book. They were so sweet and heartfelt and it made it so hard to put down. The storylines and characters were a amazing blend that made these stories come together. Linda Lael Miller is truly an amazing author who always puts her readers first.

Easy read. I enjoy longer love stories. Five short love stories in one book. Thought some of the stories and characters could have been developed better but that would've needed the story to be longer.
September 25, 2017
This was a collection of 5 stories. I was surprised how different these books are from others of hers I've read. Good stories, good characters and endings.
January 9, 2018
These are very choppy and not the best written stories(5). But it is good fluff to fill in time.
July 7, 2018
Not the easy, relaxing read I was looking for. This is a collection of five stories that read as if they are 50+ psge outlines for potential books that didn't quite make it.
September 6, 2021
5 short stories about 3 of them were good. All were ridiculous.

Awesome each story!!!

Will Bess be able to accept this new marriage agreement? -SWITCH- Set in modern day, this is a story of twin sisters, Sara and Jamie, who switch lives with one another at Sara's request. Unfortunately, Jamie has no idea what sort of trouble Sara is in and finds herself in a very dangerous situation. Sara's former lover, Rowan Parrish, is the only one Jamie feels can help her. Will they be able to find a way out of this danger?
This book was a fun read. Even though the stories are quick, they were detailed, and it made for an easy summer read. My favorite of the five was, The Scent of Snow.
-THE SCENT OF SNOW- Set in 1892, Rebecca has started a new life along with her two younger sisters, claiming a Washington homestead that is really not hers. Until one day when the real owner, Lucas shows up and realizes this woman from his past is living there. Will they be able to work things out?

A world including a husband, a new baby, and a lover. How will she handle her new life?

I read this book in 2002 and have it marked as an excellent read. I have read a lot of Linda Lael Miller's books and have enjoyed all of them.

September 24, 2009This is probably the first romance I ever bought. I can't remember now. Miller incidentally is one of the first romance authors I started with too, alongside Quick and Lindsay, etc.

I think I liked the two that only took place in the 1800s the best in this anthology.

cute book, ummm, the shorter stories with less in depth detail kinda get hard to like as much as the more descriptive novels, but overall they are really cute!!!

Book consisted of four short stories combines. All were extremely sad. It just seemed like one of the main characters was always heartbroken. But all ended happily.

This is anthology of 5 Linda Lael Miller stories from different anthologies all put in the same book. If you're a fan you'll probably like this? Her writing isn't my cuppa.
