Willow Springs Carolyn Steele 9781462114573 Books Reviews

Crissa is trying to start a new life in Willow Springs. She's working at Henders Inn and has caught the attention of Garth Wight, a miner she's not interested in and views as harmless. A Pony Express rider, Drake Adams, comes to town and catches her eye. His father, Warren Adams, pretty much owns the town. Drake has decided to retire and is settling down about an hour away from Willow Springs. They are attracted to each other, but things get complicated when Crissa's past starts to catch up with her and Drake appears to be interested in someone else.

This book started out kind of slow to me and took a while for me to become invested in the characters and their lives. However, once it got going, it became hard to put down and the ending moved very quickly. The mystery unfolded slowly, which I love since it makes me keep reading. I also felt like I got enough information for it not to become frustrating.

Crissa is likable and learning about her past made me sad for all she'd gone through. She was trying to start over and has good reason to want to. She and Drake liked each other from the first time they met but there was plenty to keep them apart. I liked Drake but he did seem to send Crissa mixed signals so I understood her confusion. There were quite a few twists and turns and revelations and I wasn't sure what the ending would look like.

There are also some great side characters. There's one that I disliked in the beginning but as I learned more about him, I changed my mind and wished things had turned out differently for him. There were plenty of character flaws in all of them and they seemed realistic to me. I had to wait until the end to determine how I felt about some of them. Willow Springs was full of lots of secrets! If you enjoy historical romance with some mystery included, this is a book for you!

I received a copy of this book to review. My opinion is 100% my own.
This was one of the worst books I have read all summer. It was like the Perils of Pauline -- if you are one that likes one ridiculous scenario after the other, then this is for you.
I feel bad leaving a bad review, but...
While working at an inn in Willow Springs, Utah, Crissa meets Drake, a kind Pony Express rider and Garth, a violent drunk. Both men fall in love with Crissa at first sight. Through a series of events that don't really make sense (how does an attempted violent rapist go free?), Crissa leaves town. This is when she realizes she is being followed and her past catches up with her. More events take place that don't make sense - her past, blackmail (seriously, seriously makes no sense at all), bigamy TWICE by the same person, adultery by multiple characters, and so many murders (intentional, accidental, and in self defense) and murderers and murderesses that I could keep not keep up.
This story has no character development (except the violent attempted rapist is just a misunderstood guy, poor thing), no relationship development (everyone loves Crissa at first sight and we don't see the relationships develop), and no story development (the story goes no where). It's not uplifting. It's not entertaining. I just thought it was sad.
Very well written. Carolyn has a fascinating way of combining fiction and fact. You willbe learning about the events of that time period as well as becoming involved with the characters in the story. There are many twists to the story line to keep you guessing what will happen next. I can't wait until her next book comes out.
I enjoyed finding myself caught up in a story of a woman struggling to recreate herself across multiple cultural lines, while enduring trials of mind, body and spirit. The historical references struck personal notes as her journey led her to cross oceans and plains, and to negotiate small town life, in search of her new beginning.
A wonderful story woven with masterful care to see the many lives and instances that intertwined these lives. I loved it!
What a fun read! I have been looking for something to read that was light yet engrossing and Willow Springs nailed it! I picked it up as a read for my morning commute and ended up devouring it this weekend. Carolyn Steele is a smart and funny author who really knows how to captivate her reader. If you're looking for your next favorite read this is it!
