I really loved this book (previously published as Blue Haze but
re-published as Mystic Mountains). It was like Pride and
Prejudice...ooops, I mean Arrogance and Obstinacy, meets the Thorn Birds
in 1818 Australia. I love realistically flawed characters--perfect
romance H/h's are such bores--and both of these were so realistically
flawed, the way their life experiences from their past hard-scrabble
youth carried over to lead to inappropriate and sometimes foolish
judgments in their present was so well developed into the plot of this
book. Now I shouldn't love it as much as I did. There were a few
things in this book that I really hated, but I can't say without
spoilers, that should have made me downgrade my rating--however, any
book that keeps me up to 3:30 AM to finish, because I just can't put it
down, definitely rates five-stars. This is also the kind of book that
will make the next few books I read seem like they don't measure up.

Tricia McGill excels again Kindle
It is always a pleasure to read a Tricia McGill novel. Her characters
come alive before your eyes and her ability as a wordsmith paints a
picture you can see. I am already looking forward to another book from
her.
