Customer Reviews

Great suspense/romance reading!

I purchased based on word-of-mouth locally, and the book's write-up that's missing here:PREGNANT AND ALONE. When Amanda Barnwell was kidnapped from her Wyoming ranch, she feared for her unborn child. But her captor, sexy Matt Forester, swore her was saving her and her baby. He'd discovered the identity of the sperm-bank donor who fathered the child---a man whose family would stop at nothing to claim the baby and eliminate Amanda from their family tree. With a would-be killer at their heels, Amanda had no choice but to trust Matt. But her abductor was more male than a virgin country girl like Amanda could ever handle. Was Matt telling the truth? And with her baby's life at risk, could Amanda take the chance?

Amanda's Child

I love a book that brings tears to my eyes at the end! And Rebecca York has crafted such a book with Amanda's Child. I have read almost all of the Light Street books, and I have to say that they just keep getting better and better. This is one of my favorites. Amanda and Matt are both such likeable and sympathetic characters. Pregnant and on the run is no way I'd ever want to be, but Ms. York makes you believe that Amanda is strong enough to survive the ordeal. And the way that she learns to trust Matt over the course of the story is especially poignant. Even though they are in danger throughout the book, they still keep living their lives, trying to keep things as normal as possible. All the while falling hopelessly in love, of course. And they are also resourceful enough to spend a good portion of the book playing an active role in getting themselves out of danger, which is much more satisfying than sitting around waiting to be rescued. The Wyoming setting at the beginning is something entirely new for the Light Street series, and it's always fun to see Ms. York set a book outside of her usual Baltimore setting. She must do lots of research to make her settings so authentic! I can't wait to see the next installment in the exciting and emotion-packed Light Street series. Definitely add this one to your list if you're looking for a good read!

Amanda's Child

Amanda's Child was a keeper. I'm an avid reader of Rebecca York and thought Amanda's Child one of her best. Matt is a hero to die for and Amanda stirred my heart. The plot is well thought out and no two people are ever so completely for each other as Matt and Amanda are. The characters are so real they walked off the pages and entered my heart.

Best in series

I've been reading and enjoying the Light Street books for years. Amanda's Child is one of the best in the series. It takes a unique blend of talent to seamlessly integrate a heart warming romance into a taut suspense story, and Rebecca York has that talent. In Amanda's Child, it's the relationship between Matt and Amanda that truly makes the book. Amanda's been wounded so badly by life that she can't understand what a strong, sexy guy like Matt sees in her. But she's a woman who's been willing to take risks--and the biggest risk of all is letting go of her fear and learning to trust her instincts. Matt is a romance hero to die for. It's not hard to see why Romantic Times gave him their WISH award. Like her heroines, Rebecca York is a writer who's been willing to take risks over the years. Usually the time frame of a suspense novel is short--to increase the tension. In this book, Ms. York keep up the tension while she draws out the story over a four month period--giving herself the opportunity for a heart-stopping climax.

Rebecca York does it again!

The Queen of Intrigues delivers another powerful story in a wonderful series. If you are a fan of the Light Street books, then this one is definitely for you. Great plot, terrific characters, and York's classy writing make for another winner.
