Today's reviews are from books by Margarat Tanner

Yesterday I did one romance author so today I will do another one.  Romance to me is a fun, fast read for rainy days.  I can read them quick, like popping a sweet piece of candy.  They don't last long but they are hopefully tasty.

Margaret Tanner is a talented author who sets her tales in the wilds of Australia.  While the themes are pretty much what you expect from a good romance the sweeping vistas and the history of this country from all the way around the world from me has been a great set of tales to read.  I have reviewed two so far

4.0 out of 5 stars Love in the times the Australian gold rush, November 3, 2013

Readers of historical romances generally find stories set either in the wild west of the United States or in Britain. This lovely tale is set for a large part in Australia. With the detail Ms Tanner added the story comes alive with the sights, sounds and flavors of that wild land. She teaches you a bit of history while telling a tale of love, betrayal and classism.

While at times you want to take her heroine and shake her soundly for the pure silly innocence she has, you come to care for the characters. You feel sadness at the loses they survive and happiness at the neat ending to the tale. A good read for a lazy afternoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars lovely little tale, September 26, 2013

This review is from: Frontier Belle (Kindle Edition)
Love, hardship and the Australian frontier. This book, while brief, is full of all the things a romance reader looks for. A strong willed heroine, a brooding hero and a vast vista to pit them against each other. While the conclusion was a little rushed for my taste this was a fine read for a quiet afternoon.
