The enchanting novels of New York Times bestselling author Elaine Coffman garner glowing praise from reviewers. Hailed as involving, poignant, dramatic, and "un-putdownable," her love stories mesmerize readers time and time again. Joining the ranks of her bestselling novels If You Love Me, So This Is Love, Escape Not My Love, Heaven Knows, and A Time for Roses, SOMEONE LIKE YOU is Elaine Coffman's newest glittering jewel. . . .
For Susannah Dowell, a life of self-imposed spinsterhood and hard work in the parched plains of West Texas cannot erase the pain of a shameful past. Then she meets Reed Garrett, a man also burdened by hurt. Tentatively, two lost souls dare to reach out, at first offering nothing more than simple human kindness, only to discover a reason to live and to believe in the power of love. . .
Book was a little too slow
| Customer Rating: | | I found this book a rather slow read. And I got tired rather quickly of the touch me, touch me not problems of Susannah, they just went on for far too long. I liked Reed, the Aunts and the pets, thats why I gave it 2 star, without them, the plot and Susannah wouldn't even have rated a single star. I would get this book at the library and save your money. |
A BIT OF MYSTERY ON WHAT MAKES THEM TICK.
| Customer Rating: | 2000 - who is Scarlett and Halley? Not this book. Some other book that should have your review?
SOMEONE LIKE YOU! This is Reed Garrett's story starting in Boston in 1871 - that same year we are shown the sisters, Violet Wakefield and Dahlia Bradford looking for their niece, Rachel and her 9 year old daughter, Susannah Jane Dowell. They are directed to a brothel in New Orleans on 21 Basin Street only to find Rachel had died.
Some 16 years later Reed Garrett shows up in Bluebonnett, Texas and happens down the path [I don't think you can call it a road - as we know it] that leads to the farm of Violet Wakefield, she is now 66 years old.
Reed finds Susannah working in the garden and approaches her for a job.
Susannah is not happy to see him and tells him to be on his way.
He leaves and on his way to Bluebonnet he is accosted by a group of ruffian cowboys led by Tate Trahern. They rope him and drag him until he hits his head and passes out.
When he comes to he finds his horses and guns etc. gone - he stumbles into Bluebonnet where he is accused of being a horse thief - chuckle - this is where Violet and Dahlia run into him with the sheriff.
Much to Susannah's chagrin the great aunts hire Reed to give him a place to stay.
Thus the story and the intrigue begin. There is some mystery behind Reed's drifting and being in Texas and some deep-seated trauma that Susannah has suffered that effect these two characters.
Susannah at 25 will have nothing to do with men even though Tate Trahern wants her. Although I didn't see any mention of marriage.
The aunts are sweet and funny and it seems that all the animals receive flower names which astonish Reed.
You have got to read the description of "Daffy" the pet goose and how she lives up to her name.
A very enchanting group of characters meld this story together. It seems that most all females are predisposed to the seductions of the male. Can't one of them put up a hilarious, or nasty fight to get to the alter before hoping in bed? Why can't the male be put through the frustrations and chase of his heart's desire and not be allowed to bed and then wed?
That is where all these stories poup out for me - after the chase has ended [and it has] the rest of the story is just tieing up loose ends.
Which is not all bad.
This book is well worth reading for the characters alone - the intrigueing questions are well answered - Just no heart thumping action.
Definitely Recommended --M - Violet shows some wisdom - Dahlia is just strange - Reed comes through - and we lose Daisy.

| Customer Rating: | | THE FIRST HALF OF THIS BOOK PLODDED AND PLODDED. IT WAS ALL TALK, TALK, AND I HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE GETTING THRU IT BUT SOMEHOW THE BACK COVER HAD BEEN SO PROMISING SO I HUNG WITH IT. THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK WAS WONDERFUL. IT EXPLAINED THE CHARACTERS TORMENT AND BROUGHT ALL THEISSUES INTO THE OPEN AND , WELL, IT WAS WONDERFUL.............I AM GLAD I DIDN'T JUST TOSS THIS EARLY ON BUT IT WAS TOUCH AND GO FOR AWHILE.....NOT TOO INTERESTED IN FURTHER BKS BY THIS AUTHOR BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE. |
