The Love of a Stranger: 6

This was the third book I'd read by Jeffrey. The first two, I gave 5 stars. I couldn't put them down once I started reading. This one wasn't like those. I was glad when it was over. Alex is too mean and self centered and took too long to come around. Her battle with Doug went on and on and on. Finally, she gave in. I'm glad this one is over. I do look forward to reading other books by Jeffrey in the near future. Happy reading.

you will like this author as well. I have read all the of her for the love of.. books and I loved them.

I became a Jeffrey fan when I read Love of a Cowboy. This one just may be better. Alex is a beautiful, wounded soul who cannot withstand Doug, another wonderful but wounded human being. Irrestible love and dogged determination break down the emotional walls and bring them together so they can stop fighting each other long enough to battle against a true villain. It's a real page turner, one of those that keeps you saying "Just a few more pages, and then I'll stop." But you won't stop, because the book is too good to put down.

In the small town of Callister Idaho, Alex McGregor, a hard headed lonely woman is known by the locals as the witch on the mountain. Doug Hawkins, an outsider trying to escape problems of his past finds love in the most unexpected place. His feelings un-returned by the scared battered soul hiding in the shell of Alex McGregor poses a challenge to be won. During the many twists and turns of this story I really fell in love with these characters both with their quirky dispositions and their true to life personalities. This story has you wrapped up until the end in mystery and intrigue for both the characters and its complex plot. I hope to read more like this in the future.
