1: bad bad bad book
i am a big fan of the second world war periode so i was very exited about this book.
i think it's the first time where i hate a hero so much i wish the writer had killed him!
i do not understand what Kate saw in him !!!!! he was stupid and whiney .
if you love a good WW2 book try "the blue bicycle" from deforges
AVOID !

2: A Surprise From Dorothy Garlock
This turned out to be a suspense Historical Romance which I found refreshing. I enjoyed reading the book so much that I had a hard time putting it down to go into the doctor's office!
I believe that you could read this as a single book without having read the three prior books because I had read them months ago and forgotten the plots!!! It was a delightful read. My only reason for not giving it five stars was the use many times of bad words and God's name in vain. I don't usually oontinue reading books I find these words in but I did this one as it was good and overlooked those words. I hope Ms. Garwood realizes a good book can be written without use of such language.

3: WWII boys come home
Well, it was good that I was able to pick up a story that was the last of the series and go with it. Sometimes if you read a series out of sequence, you're lost and disheartened. But this was easy to step into.
Its the story between a half Cherokee war hero and his wife, a red headed writer of Westerns. Seems they were miscommunicating on the death of their child. He shipped off to war and she would never forgive him---or would she?
It seems a theme for Garlock to have an obsessed dude running around through the story. He provides the suspense in the end.
After reading several of her books, I can say that that part and the everpresent some-woman-is-getting-beat-by-her-man is starting to make me uninterested. I don't know how her faithfuls put up with it. Maybe this is teaching her readers that if you're abused and reading romances, its time to leave him.
Or maybe its to educate the readers on how much abuse is out there. Whatever the case, its present in all the stories I've read.
Back to Kathleen and Johnny--well, this romance seems to drag on through the book. Not much happens in the meantime until she gets kidnapped by the obsessed dude.
The highlight was the post-war stuff and the usual period detail prevalent in Garlocks stories. After reading "House on a Hill," which was so good, this was a bit of a let down. But go for it anyway!

4: A great end to a great series!
We fell in love with Kathleen and Johnny Henry in With Heart. This story picks up seven years later. The war is over, but their battle for their love isn't. They've loved, and they've lost. It's time to discover if their love is strong enough to weather those losses and move on to discover something new...together. Dorothy Garlock shines in this spectacular series! My only complaint...that it had to end.

5: Ms. Garlock couldn't get enough of this couple either!!!
I don't think Ms. Garlock could get enough of Johnny and Kathleen Henry either, as she created another masterpiece centered around this couple! I read this book in 2 days, and found it to be just as good or maybe better than the previous book, "With Heart." I don't know what I'll do without reading about the people in this family... It was really easy to grow to love these fictional characters, and I long for more!! I hope Ms. Garlock continues with some of the other characters in this book. READ THIS BOOK... YOU'LL BE IN LOVE WITH JOHNNY AND KATHLEEN HENRY, TOO!!!
