Touchstone pushed all my buttons and I couldn't put it down.

Touchstone is one of those romances that grabs you by the emotions and won't let go. I read all 400 pages in one day--it was that good. The hero, Houstin, was strong and caring. The heroine, though confused, wasn't "too stupid to live." The reader understood her problems. The only part I disliked was the amount of time spent in the villain's point of view, because he was extremely deranged. Great story!

Excellent book!

This is an excellent book by Dinah McCall. As a fan of all her writings, this one is one of the best that she has written. The characters truly care for one another, and you will find yourself caring about what happens to the characters.

Story grabbed me in the first 5 pages and didn't let go! 1

I read this book almost without putting it down! The love between the H/H was so deep and complex, and done so well. I felt so completely taken by Rachel and Houston and their efforts to overcome what could have been a total disaster. Her leaving and her accident--his complete devastation at her going and then stepping in to help her thru. What a guy! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a gripping love story!
