Promised Splendor: Connie Mason

“ “I won’t cheat you, Glenna,” Kane Morgan swore in the heat of passion. “I promise you’ll find only pleasure in my arms.” And pleasure—searing, breathtaking, exquisite pleasure—was what she did find as Kane took her innocence amidst the whispering pines of the Colorado wilderness. Lovely, flame-haired Glenna longed to give him her soul as well as her body, but she had come West to avenge her father’s death, and she could not promise her heart until she’d brought his murderer to justice. Caught in a trap of her own making, estranged from the only man she would ever love, Glenna prayed he would return to make good his passionate vows.

PROMISED SPLENDOR

Another hit by Connie Mason! This book took me a while to read (though I know school was a major factor in that), but it was good nonetheless. I really love her characters—especially her leading male roles. They are easy to fall for and fascinating to watch develop. As I’ve mentioned before, Mason has a knack for writing settings in such a way that the readers feel as if they are actually there. I caught myself on more than one occasion feeling as if I were actually watching a movie instead of reading a book. Her writing is so easy to get sucked into.

Overall, the plot was interesting and fun. Lately…I have been noticing some common threads throughout all of Mason’s books that I’ve read. I don’t know how I feel about this, but it’s not terrible. Certainly, I will be reading more of Mason in the future (but I will keep a lookout for the patterns I’ve noticed…hopefully I’m not disappointed…)
