Go back to a time when ladies were still ladies and people shared calling cards. The Wild West had calmed down a bit and Diana was ready to start her life. The only thing she was missing was the love of her young life, Tyson Applegate. Being a politician’s wife would be a strain on anyone but Diana has some doubts about the rightness of it all.  This book really covers the spectrum of a historical novel.  From suspense, to fiction, to total drama, this book has it all.  I did not read the first two books in this series but that didn’t really hinder my enjoyment of Beloved .

As I read this book, I wasn’t sure who I wanted to cheer for.  I like that bit of uncertainty in a book; it keeps me interested.  Beloved also reminded me of the resourcefulness a woman had to employ in centuries past.  In a world where women were dependent upon men to care for them, Diana was decidedly an independent mind.  I liked that about her!  This book also touched my heart with a message of love, forgiveness, and grace.  The author, Robin Lee Hatcher, has a gift of making the words just fly off the page and into my  mind.  I could picture all of the scenes and conversations.  Overall, this was a good read and I”m happy that I was able to participate in the book tour for Beloved.
