Chronicle Conducive To Books Ashes in the Wind
This one is tough for me to rate because there are some parts of this book I LOVED, and some I absolutely HATED!! First I have to say that I really enjoy the author's writing style, it's so much different from the modern books that it's like in another universe. But that's OK cause it's still great. What I didn't like here was the story, or how the author chose to develop it, and every major event that happened in the book. Almost every potential good scene between the main characters was somehow RUINED, either by them or by other characters, and a lot of things happened that made me want to give up on it completely, but I stuck through it and I'm glad because the last 35% were great. So... 1%-20% - 5 stars 20%-65% - 2 stars with sprinklings of 1 or zero at some parts 65-100% - 4 stars If I was good at math I could calculate the exact star percentage but since my brain is teeny-tiny-non-existent, I'm gonna guess and give it a 3 XD *buddy read with Glam <3*

Okay so I read this book in Junoir High. Shyly and quietly because god forbide any of my friends find out that I was reading Romance!Oh the shame. Anyway it came in a box full of other books and I thought, well Ill just randomly pick one.Then and there I fell in love with this book. It was such a fun book. It was exciting and totally new experience for me in reading. ( for fantasy is more my stlye)I recomend this book for people who really don't enjoy romances.Yes, it does follow some of theI originally read Ashes In The Wind back in 1979.I remember the date because I had just come home from the hospital with my first born Michael, who finally tied the knot this month with his partner and has given me two beautiful granddaughters.Since this was another special moment in time, I decided to pick this "keeper" I had given five stars to back up to see if time had changed with how I felt then..and now.Truthfully, I cant remember any of it...is it a wonder between feeding's, diaper
I have read almost every single one of KEWs books the Wolf and the Dove is my all-time favorite and I gave that five stars! I did a DNF on Come love a Stranger just could not get into that book. AITW, although the Civil War is not a favorite genre and the whole dressing as a boy trope isnt either this was the only one of her vintage books I had not yet read and thats why I had to read it. (After all its KEW....a great writer!) I am glad I did this is a really good book. In part two of the book
This book was the starting of my book reading obsession. I was young and was not interested in reading and my grandmother handed me this book. I was on holiday with my family and I was bored, so I thought what the hell. I couldn't put it down. I have since read most of Kathleen Woodiwiss's books but this is by far one of her best!
I can honestly say, this is my most favorite book of all. Ms. Woodiwiss did a suburb job of developing this characters. Cole Latimer is a most intriguing hero while Alana is the brave, spirited, stubborn heroine, who is steadfast and long in determination and pride. The cast of secondary characters is colorful and full of surprises. The book is written in two parts, much like Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. The similarities drop away after the southern setting and prewar life disappears
I read this a long time ago but I really enjoyed it
