Splendid. Grade: A-

For me, Dorothy Garlock is another new author. In LARKSPUR, Garlock held my interest from the opening page to the final word. Kristin Anderson is a Wisconsin charmer, blessed with Nordic features, and a Montana ranch. Tired of being an unpaid servant, Kristin firmly says goodbye to her wretched brother, his insipid wife, and their spoiled children. She leaves with both dread and delirium and heads west to her inheritance -- a Montana ranch called Larkspur. In Montana, things are complicated. It seems others would like to own Kristin's land. It seems someone else already owns a section -- the ranch house. Buck Lenning does not relish sharing his house, let alone his life with an intruding woman. However, through necessity, they join forces and finally join their hearts. Dorothy Garlock does a fine job on this story. Kristin Anderson is hardworking and kind, yet the author holds the line and does not turn the heroine into a "superwoman". Buck Anderson is understanding, tender, and tough. Dorothy Garlock wonderfully depicts his gentle care for the old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Dorothy Garlock built a wonderful gritty western romance. This author stirred this reader with talent and storytelling ability. Yes, LARKSPUR was a splendid book. Finding a new author to savor is such fun! Grade: A- MaryGrace Meloche.

This IS one of her better ones

Man, I sat down and read this story all day. I just couldn't stop. I kept wondering, "if I put it down, I won't know what happens next---" in the sense that----A rancher is out in the wilderness, defending property of an attractive woman who comes to the wilderness, to the Larkspur, to have something of her own. She finds this rancher dude there.Its a slow blossoming romance, but sweet. The suspense part was when was the land grabber gonna attack? Were the Indians hostile?Who was the little old timer? Was her brother gonna come and get her and make her come home? Would this be her home with this man?It was good. Made you feel like you were in the story. Out on the western frontier, miles from anywhere. Indians and gunslingers at every turn---would they find love, too?A real shoot em up! Its good.

Exciting and very entertaining

A great collection of characters, like all of the Dorothy Garlock stories, that should entertain even the pickiest readers. This was an extremely entertaining story, however, not my favorite of hers. Still - it's a story that shouldn't be missed! It's very entertaining, suspenseful, romantic, and full of exciting twists. Ms. Garlock is the best creator of characters. I hope, as other readers will too, that Dillon Tallman will come back in another of Ms. Garlock's stories. My favorite thing about the Dorothy Garlock stories, is that characters from other books will return and give you a continuing glance of what is occuring in their lives, long after you finish the novel they were a key character in. Ms. Garlock is currently my favorite storyteller... you are sure to venture into a remarkable journey with every story. Enjoy!!!

Great Story

Dorothy Garlock is one of the best romance writers of our time. This book is just one example of her outstanding work. This is one of the first books from her that I read. Since then I have read almost all of them. I can not say enough about Larkspur. If you haven't read it then I definately reccommend that you order it right now. I too would like to see more stories with any of the Tallmans in it.

Once you start reading you can't quit.

I love Dorothy Garlock's books. This is one of her better ones. Everyone that comes out I get it as soon as it hits the stand.
