She delves into what motivated Comfort to feel that way and forces her to look at what their friendship actually consisted of.īode is one of those heroes that I find it near impossible not to like. The author is also not content to let Comfort’s feelings for Bram rest simply. The transition from Bram to Bode is extremely smooth and is aided by Comfort’s memories of her come out ball at sixteen. Sometimes those plots work, but sometimes the transition from loving the first guy to loving the hero comes off as rushed and disingenuous. Goodman is usually a sure thing, but I wasn’t sure what I would think of a romance that starts with the heroine cast as in love with someone else.
I was a little nervous when I started this book. Twisting plots, clever dialogue, subtle all works so well for me. I enjoy the current offerings in Historical Romance, but sometimes I long for something a little different. One grounds me in reality and the other offers a break from it.Īfter finishing this book, I can say with all certainty that it has been much too long since I read a Jo Goodman. I am currently the executive director of a child caring/mental health agency and find my work and my writing often compliment each other. I began working with adolescents and families, first as a childcare worker and later, after graduating from West Virginia University with a master's degree in counseling, as a therapist. Years of competitive swimming didn't help me anticipate seasickness. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry and some notion that I would do marine research. They bought me an electric typewriter and crossed their fingers, but somehow PASSION'S BRIDE came out.
My supportive, but vaguely concerned parents, sighed with relief when I announced I was going to write children's books. There was also a story about a runaway girl with the unlikely name of Strawberry and one about mistaken identities and an evil blind date. In seventh grade I wrote a melodrama about two orphan sisters, one of whom was pregnant. I was in fourth grade, but it was a start. To find characters to illustrate my first family saga, I cut out models from the Sears catalogue.
