Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-29 00:00:00 Martin Antonio Gomez Gonzalez Bodie and Brock Thoene were my introduction to CF many years ago with Vienna Prelude. It was nice to find another series by them: The Galway Chronicles. This series begins in 1827 Ireland. After the prologue, it took me a bit to get into the story, but I was turning pages quickly later on. Only the River Runs Free reminds me of Downton Abbey with the "haves" and "have nots" and bit of soap opera feel. This is definitely not one of those series where each book can be read as a stand-a-lone. I look forward to seeing what is next in store for the lovely characters in Only the River Runs Free.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-28 00:00:00 Christophe Duret Wonderful book ... took me a while to get going with it, but I think that was more because of all the distractions in my life, rather than a slow book. Once into it, though, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, which was woven with mystery and intrigue, love and romance, sin and forgiveness, and MUCH Irish history, scenery, and folklore. I love the combination, how all the smaller plots worked together toward the greater plot, and the resolution to the situations. Am very anxious to continue the series with the next ... "Of Men and of Angels".
