Exciting, holds interest

This story line keeps you on the edge of your imagination trying to see if you could figure out the next move by the head character Magdalena. Sooo good as usual Karen Robards keeps the readers interest to the very end, her descriptions are so vivid you are there with the characters , thanks really enjoyed

GREAT BOOK!

This was my first book that I read by this author and I'll definitely be looking for her name, again. Its' a great story with loveable characters. Each time the story started to even out, something happened, taking you off guard. The book was well written, packed filled with great lines. Love Nick and his dedicated love for Maggy.

Heart warming... exciting too.

This is the first book I've read by Karen Robards. My friend lend me this book and as soon as I was finished, I had to get one copy for myself. I reread it twice and still had the same reaction. This is definitely in one of my favorite book collection. I was specially touched by the unique closeness of Nick and Maggy. The strong bond that started way back when they were young are impressive and heart quenching. My heart ached reading about their past together, though. About the poor times! Lack of food & clothes... Yet, Nick tried to take care of her and provided for her then - in any way and any means he can. The action twist is exciting and unexpected. It adds spice to the story. Maggy's choice to sacrifice love for his son's future is depressingly sad. Some parts are tear jerker but it leaves you contented in the end. It is a warm & happy ending.

Maggie's Child

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! If you love to desire love and excitement, this book is for you! Karen did a fabulous job of engaging the reader into the intricacy of the relationships and adventures that take place in Maggie's Child. This book was difficult to put down because you simply need to know what's going to happen next, epecially between Maggie and Nick. Karen's vocabulary and descriptions are rich and colorful, which makes the plots and characters come to life. I passed this book onto my mother, who NEVER reads, and she read six chapters in one night and wants to buy all Karen's books. We agree that a night reading about Nick and Maggie is far better than a night watching tv. Enjoy!

This is a GREAT romance/suspense book.

Do you like romance and suspense, all rolled into one? If you do, then this is the book for you. It is about a mother who runs into her old boyfriend (who also happens to be her sons father, although he doesn't know). Her husband has spent most of their married life abusing her, and poisining her sons mind against her. Then in walks the old boyfriend and sparks fly. That is where the suspense comes in and where I take off. It is a wonderful read!

Excellent

Excellent, a severe page turner. Unique in that this book is not like all the rest. Took alot to put this book down!
