Homespun Hearts

So often in those books that are grouped as "category romances," the reader finds flimsy and absurd plotlines...minimal and often inaccurate detail--especially in works with historical settings...and just plain poor writing. HOMESPUN HEARTS is the opposite, a winner on every level.Author Cynthia Thomason does a wonderful job of describing smalltown Ohio at the turn of the 20th Century, one of those singular times and places which exemplified the values which came to shape our nation. Her characters, especially the hero and heroine, are real and lovable. And those other folks who people their town just prove Thomason's theory that human nature hasn't changed much over the centuries.Thomason has done plenty of research, and it shows, as when she takes her characters to the Chicago Exposition to marvel over everything that then was new and wonderful. In one subplot of this complex novel, she has integrated John D. Rockefeller into her story.Readers of HOMESPUN HEARTS will be engaged in Thomason's touching story, and they surely will cheer every twist and turn that brings the tale to its inevitable conclusion.I can't wait to read all of this author's other books. HOMESPUN HEARTS belongs in the classification of the best of the best!

In the tradition of authors such as LaVyrle Spencer, Lorraine Heath, Stephanie Mittman, and Dorothy Garlock, newcomer Cynthia Thomason has created an Americana romance to treasure as she brings the 1800s to life in Sam and Abby's touching and endearing story. HOMESPUN HEARTS is pure joy to read.

This was a great story! I couldn't wait for the end to see if there was a happy ending, but at the same time, didn't want it to end. The characters were so real, I actually miss them now that I'm done! I must admit the happy ending was worth it though.

If you're looking for a story to warm you heart, Homespun Hearts is the answer. Ms. Thomason has created wonderful, believable characters. Definitely a keeper.

Homespun Hearts is a love story you won't want to miss. Cynthia has created characters that will stay with you long after the last page. A must read!
