Petals on the river
I read this book in hard back many years ago.
I read it this time on my iPad.
Still found it a good romance to read, gives you a little history, and makes you wish for that kind of love.
One of my favorite books
I actually own the hard copy and have worn the bindings reading and re-reading this book. Woodiwiss is a very talented writer. You can see the characters as you read and get completely trapped in the story. You can feel the love between the two main characters as you read page after page, it's captivating and contagious!
Great read!
Amazing book, I've read it many times. Author paints a very vibrant picture in my mind.
