Fall in love . . .

. . . with two characters and a town that will steal your heart. _Sweetbriar_ is the story of Linnet Tyler who leaves England for the wilds of Kentucky and during an Indian raid finds powerful love and a town full of the sweetest people ever. You'll laugh, cry, and want to hit Devon so many times that you'll have this book finished before you even realize you started it. One of Ms. Deveraux's best, the often overlooked _Sweetbriar_ is the front-runner to the 'Lady' series and by far one of my very favorites. My only complaint is that it's so short! Easily able to be finished in one sitting and well worth a second read through before you put it away! The scene near the end with the folks from Sweetbriar is priceless! A must read!

Not bad

Personally, I thought Devon was a jerk and a bit stupid but he did have his good points. Linnet, now there's a character that I really like...Overall, the book was good but it didn't give me the silly grin on my face and the happy skip in my steps.

Excellent!

Deveraux did a wonderful job in this novel! The characters were fabulous and you could feel their every emotion, and I actually fell in love with the leading man, Devon. I loved this book!

A page turner from front to back!

This book was one of her top of the line stories. Plan on staying up all night and finishing this book. I could not put it down. You will like the tenderness and the ruggit beauty of the characters of the this. I have been able to enjoy this book over and over.

I have read it many MANY times!

Sweetbriar is a kind of book that will catch your eye in a bookstore. I know it caught mine and i have not put it back on my bookshelf to sit since then. This story tells of Linnet Tyler's travel to the wilds of Kentucky from her homeland in Europe. Near the end of her long journey her and her family and the rest of her group are attacked by indians. Mistaken for a child Linnet is taken to their camp where she meets a man who will save her life...and steal her heart... Devon Macalister has never met a woman quite like Linnet. When he saves her from the indians he has no idea what impact on his life she would have... Sweetbriar is a wonderful book and I highly reccomend it to all of you readers out there.
