Starfinder

I liked the first book in this series and am currently on the last one, #3. I have to say that this one is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It is so well written that you feel like you are part of the story and know these as real people. It has all the makings of a great movie but after what they did to one of Julie Garwood's books I would not recommend it. They destroyed her book in my opinion. You will really enjoy the time it takes to read this book. Patricia Potter is a new author to me and I am collecting her other books. I don't think she is writing now.

It's always difficult to understand a bad review on something you really enjoyed, be it a book, movie, etc.. I am NOT a big scots fan...accent, history or any of the above. BUT Potter is an incredible author and her stories are nearly always worth reading. I read this not even knowin it was part of a trilogy. The characters are wonderful with depth, issues, angst and all the things that good characters have. The children and the animals always add a delightful dimension and often insight.They have a way of pulling the characters out of their emotional dungeon and into the world. And people are often at their best with them.I never understood why Ian had such a young sister. He was intent on searching for "katy" but the age thing was a bit puzzling. Knowing the bad guy wasn't a problem because he was powerful and you never knew how Ian was going to help Fancy get out of his grasp. Francy's pain at not being able to read...when we take it so for granted...was an interesting twist. I highly recommend this book. I am currently reading the star sequel which is the little boy Noel's story. While it is also very good it doesn't have the multifacets that this one does. yet they're both keepers..............p.s. yes, hannah, you are the only one who didn't like this book! :)

This is one of my favorite Patricia Potter books. The characters are so real and face dificulties with honor and strength. One of the most emotional books I've read in a long time. Yes, Hannah, I do believe you were the only one who found this book dull...

Patricia Potter has done it again. I was hooked on the first page, and couldn't put it down until the very last page. I became a fan of her westerns and didn't know if I'd like these as well since they aren't in the west, but I think she's gotten even better, shen I didn't think it was possible! All I have to say is, "Thank you, Ms Potter!"

Patricia Potter has created a plot that will have your attention from beginning to end. The story of Ian's tragic loss of family and country catches you and pulls you in. The love relationship between Fancy and Ian is one to treasure! Don't plan on scheduling activities once you start this book. What a treat for me to have discovered this author. Now I will be going back for her other books.

As always,Patricia Potter pens a novel that involves the reader instantly in the lives of her characters. In STARFINDER, she excels in portraying the emotions that torments the lovers, and yet keeps them realistic. Kudos to Ms Potter for giving us yet another classic love story!
