Absolution (Love's Valley Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (3,856)

The Irish are hardheaded so Elspeth Hamilton doesn’t like them. The Mexicans are hotheaded so likewise, she doesn’t think much of them either. Since Rebels burned her family home, killing both her parents in the Chambersburg, Pennsylvania fire, it stands to reason she surely doesn’t waste affection on Rebels. Colum Sullivan is all three: Irish, Mexican, and Rebel. It would take an utter absence of sanity and total absolution of all the past to fall in love with Colum.

The English are a stiff-necked lot so Colum doesn’t like Ellie. The Yankees are a cold-blooded bunch so likewise he doesn’t like her. All he’s going to do is rescue her and then light a shuck back to Texas. But an early blizzard in the mountains of Southern Pennsylvania turns his plans around abruptly. Colum admires the lady but that’s as far as it’s going because it’s absolutely the wrong time in the century for the likes of a lady like Ellie Hamilton and a man like Colum Sullivan to get together. Those kinds of miracles only happen once in a lifetime, and his sister Douglass and her new husband Monroe have already captured that miracle.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Ellie Hamilton had been knocked out, beaten, and shackled to the wall of a small, rundown cabin. After collecting only half the ransom--the rest to be paid upon her safe return--the kidnappers left her to die, but luckily Colum Sullivan was tracking her. Finding her unconscious and feverish, he nurses her back to health, and they begin the long trek back on foot to her home only to discover that their troubles have just begun. The second Love's Valley historical romance is set in the mountainous region of south central Pennsylvania just after the end of the Civil War and features Monroe's cousin and Douglass Esmeralda's brother from Choices (2005). As the title suggests, Brown tackles the concepts of forgiveness and absolution in this story of former enemies trying to rebuild shattered lives. Brown's use of a down-home, folksy style may irritate some but will surely charm others as it provides a more complete mental vision of the various characters via their verbal sparring matches.

    Ellie and Colum first meet when she thinks he is going to hurt Monroe. But, Colum is only trying to save his sister - or so he thinks. Ellie and Colum start off with a bang and it continues. Thanks to Colum, Ellie survives a kidnapping and their story takes off. Can an English, Yankee lady love an Irish, Mexican, Rebel guy? Expect lots of fireworks. You will laugh, shed some tears and cheer for Ellie and Colum. Great story and series.

    Loving to be somewhat Irish, I was happy to read the book.
    I also know Chambersburg, PA, as my brother lives there.
    The history is accurate.
    Ellie and Colum are caught in a North/South dilemma soon after the Civil War. They have a rocky start and a relationship that needs healing.
    How it all turns out is for the reader to discover.
    I highly think Carolyn Brown will welcome even more fans. Well done, Mrs. Brown.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Nothing like one of Carolyn’s books to bring about sunshine after a dark night. Her writing is always fun, clever, and obvious that she truly enjoys writing and has such a great time with her characters. Some fun parts of this one include some research she’s done on Irish history, as well as the Civil War that comes through in some intriguing dialogue with the characters. It’s easy to become invested in the protagonists and definitely want to find out what happens to the story. Therefore, if the story hooks me and I read it all the way to the end in one day, because I just have to know how it turns out, it’s an absolute thumbs up.

    So far it's an interesting read, Caroline Brown has been recommended to me and I can see why people enjoy her writing. Historical romances are an acquired taste but I am enjoying the main character who has already had wonderful moments of depths that are lacking in protagonists in similar novels.

    I like Carolyn Brown's writing, especially when I am in the mood for a nice, clean, historical romance. This book was fine, but having read the first one in the series, I found them to be very similar. Basically all the same obstacles to overcome, those being that he's a Rebel and she's a Yankee. Even so, it was cute and well written.
