Review - Books by Terry Irene Blane - Promo Blitz
My first review of Colorado Silver, Colorado Gold. It was nice to read a book reminiscent of the historical romances from the 1980's. Ms. Blain's book reminded me of Rebecca Bradewynes' novels.
The story was smooth and enjoyable. I liked both the heroine and hero.
I would definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy diving into a true historical romance novel.
Blurb:
To protect her sister, Juliette Lawson stole documents and fled west. Now Wes Westmoreland, undercover lawman, threatens both her plan and her heart.
Synopsis:
Socialite Juliette Lawson fled west from Philadelphia on a train and in disguise. In Colorado she’d be safe; she’d take work with her uncle at the Rio d'Oro, his smelting operation. Her actions back east had been wrong, but to protect her pregnant sister from scandal she would have done anything. Then she met a man as hungry for answers as she was for independence. A handsome, honorable man. For him, she wished the truth was hers to tell.
From the first, Wes Westmoreland knew he couldn’t trust her. Having grown up in the saloons and brothels of San Francisco, he saw trust, like love, as a luxury an undercover lawman couldn’t afford. Not on a job like this one, not with gold involved. This woman dressed as a widow was clearly hiding something; he’d felt it the moment they touched. But he’d felt other things too, stirrings in his heart, and for the first time ever, he saw riches worth the peril.

My second review is on Kentucky Green. Another great feat of storytelling by Ms. Blain. I have so missed books set in this era and location. I used to devour every one I could find. It was nice to see such a strong heroine. Would definitely recommend this book.
Blurb:
April
Williamson’s heart calls her across the frontier, but only one man—a handsome
army scout with a tormented past—can get her safely to freedom.
Synopsis:
Daniel
McKenzie was an army scout—quiet, capable, handsome…and utterly unwilling to be
the trail guide April Williamson needed to reach Kentucky. The Indian attack at
Blue Licks was but one bitter taste of the American frontier, a massacre that
had taken her father just as cholera had taken her mother. But April would not
give up on her dream. At journey’s end was independence, and nothing would
stand in her way.
The young
widow was beautiful and determined, but the months of travel involved in her
plan would be too hard. Without the general’s order Dan would have told any
woman no, but April especially. His secret would destroy her—or she might
destroy him. April’s kiss was like the country itself. Restless and sweet, it
promised a love that denied every boundary and looked only to freedom and the
future.

Terry Irene Blain
Bio: Terry Irene Blain was lucky enough to grow up in a large Mid-western family with a rich oral tradition. As a child she heard stories of ancestors’ adventures with Indians, wildlife, weather and frontier life in general, so she naturally gravitated to the study of history and completed a BA and MA then taught the subject at the college level. Married to a sailor, now retired, she’s had the chance to live in various parts of the U.S. and has traveled to Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland.
“My degrees and my teaching experience make me a natural to write historical romance. Writing historical romance gives me the opportunity to pass on stories of who we are and where we come from while exploring the relationship between men and women. What could be more exciting than that?”
