Loving Miranda and Outstanding Historical Western Romance

I read about a book a day and this is one if the best romantic westerns that I have read in quite a while. The characters of Miranda and Ben have both been scared on the outside and inside, but each, with love help to bring a healing that neither excepted to have in their life. As with most series, this book gives us time with people that we loved and hated from the previous novel, but this books extends their story and weaves their love together with the new romance. I was sad to finish this book, but it will have a place on my limited book shelve so that I can visit with these wonderful charaters again. Where the heck to all of the guys like Thad and Ben hang out!

wonderful, touching

Loving Miranda is a book to fall in love with. Miranda is a touching heroine with a heartbreaking past and Benjamin Lansing a hero who needs her. When they finally realize their love for each other, it's a satisfying end to a wonderful story of love and redemption.

Passionate and intelligent

Warning: this book is addicting. Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down. Benjamin Lansing arrives in the Colorado Territory to collect on a loan and instead finds a mystery surrounding the death of his brother. The longer he spends in Fort Victory, the more he realizes things aren't at all what they seem. And every minute he spends with Miranda, who is at the center of it all, the harder it becomes to deny the heat between them. The last thing Miranda needs is a man in her life. She's come to Colorado to help her sister, not to get tangled in another romance that could end like the others...with betrayl and pain. But the more she gets to know Ben, the less she is able to resist, even if she's sure her heart will be broken again. And after a steamy night in a remote cabin, there is no turning back.

Masterful characterizations, heart-tugging storyline!

Teresa Bodwell has managed to top herself in this sequel to Loving Mercy--LOVING MIRANDA has it all: a heroine scarred physically and emotionally but with the courage to lift her chin (and point her rifle)to defend both family and her belief in second chances; a crippled and brooding artist hero who learns the art of real love; the return of much-loved secondary characters and a nastier-than-ever villain-- AND a tender and an unexpected miracle that reminds us--poignantly--of the blessings of family. LOVING MIRANDA is a fabulous read and I applaud Ms. Bodwell's work--Bravo!

Loving Miranda shines

Teresa Bodwell's Loving Miranda is a wonderful follow-up to Loving Mercy. Miranda Chase has come home to her families ranch to help her sister in her final months of pregnancy. Miranda figures a few months surrounded by her family should help to get her life back on track and mend her broken heart. Miranda wants to be sure her sister is well and happy. Standing her Miranda's way is Ben Lansing. Ben Lansing has come to Fort Victory to get back the money his deceased brother owes him and to be sure his orphaned nephew is being cared for properly. Things are not as his brother led him to believe and he must get to the truth. Ben has been hardened by life and his is ill prepared for the sunshine that Miranda brings to his life. Miranda and Ben both have challenges that life has dealt them to overcome. Circumstance force a marriage but can these two lost souls find their way to forever. Loving Miranda is a heartfelt story. Each page makes you feel like you are back in the old west. Loving Miranda brings back the beloved characters from Loving Mercy and you are update on their lives. I am looking forward to more from this author.
