With Song

I Enjoyed With Song the most of the Dolan boys stories. Perhaps as a lawman Hod - sworn to protect and lay down his life for others - was the most protective of his Molly. Although he started off by putting her in danger, his character was the one who I felt who was most reflective of the words "love is patient..." i.e, the most unselfish.

Yes, this is a wonderful book. Ms. Garlock certainly knows how to put out a good book, in fact, an excellent series. Just keep them coming Ms. Garlock. You certainly won me over.

With Song is the second in the series about the 1930's. While I was not crazy about "With Hope" I fell in love with "With Song". Molly is eager to catch the two gunmen who killed her parents. She agrees to let Hod, a government agent, use her as bait to lure the outlaws back to the store. At first, Molly doesn't like Hod at all, he is gruff and at times, insulting. As they prepare for the gunmen to return for Molly, she begins to see another side of him and gradually falls in love. After losing her parents so violently, she is hesitant to open herself up to more hurt. Once again, the secondary characters in this novel are outstanding. Molly's aunt, her best friend, and the sinister preacher help to bring the story along. Johnny Henry also makes an appearance and we learn how Henry Ann is doing.I highly recommend this book. It is truly romantic and it is nice to see characters stuggle to with their feelings instead of just instantly falling in love.

This series will not disappoint you. The colorful way she writes you can see and feel the characters as if they come to life. Can't wait till the 4th one comes out this Spring!

Once again Dorothy Garlock delivers a fantastic book with a wonderful story and characters. The combination of romance, mystery and suspense are perfect. I'm really looking forward to WITH HEART due out in October 1999, which continues this great series of books set in the 1930's.
