If Only You Knew is a very heart warming western romance.  It is full of love, sensuality and obstacles for the hero and heroine to overcome. It will make you laugh, scream and cry.  Laura Reagan writes this story with a lot of heart.  She makes you believe that the time period, setting and characters are very real.  When you read this book, it will make you believe that you can overcome anything for love!  I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.

 


 

 

Fallen Angel Reviews

Grace is heading out into the wild, post-Civil War West to find her father, who deserted from the Confederate Army and settled there. But while carrying out her father’s plan, her stagecoach is the victim of a robbery by one of its own occupants, an odious and crazed former Northern soldier, who kidnaps the lovely Grace with a single-minded and malicious intent. Fighting for her life, she wounds him and earns herself his undying hatred.

Lyle Harmon sent his friend Cole to pick up his “bride” at the stagecoach stop, so when Cole got word that the stage had been robbed and the women taken, he sets out to find them without a backward glance. Coming upon the women, he is shocked to see them brutally mistreated, even as one of them does her level best to save herself and is injured in the process. Little does he know that this brave little lady intends to worm her way into his heart and soul.

If You Only Knew is a heart-warming piece about lives refashioned and loves found. Laura E. Reagan brings her own style to this tale of loyalty, mistaken identity, amnesia, and the confusion that new love and bone-deep lust bring. Add to this a thirst for revenge and the utter evil of the bad guy’s thwarted plans, and you’ve got a sassy and weighty plot to work through. This sweet and funny story will amuse and entertain you, and will have you rooting for things to work out for this endearing couple. With a host of hilarious and well-fleshed out supporting characters, If You Only Knew won me over with the ticklish poker-teaching scene, and spun out to a satisfying ending. Kudos and congratulations to Laura E. Regan for a job well-done!
