I have to say that I think this is pretty much the perfect historical romance novel. It had a different setting...Celeste didn't go abroad to dazzle us with Regency balls or Scottish lairds or Irish rogues. No, she stuck with the American west, the Northwest to be precise, where logging ruled and people who were running from their past could recreate themselves...no questions asked because it was a good bet that half the people they met were running from their own secrets. The romance is a compl More...

I almost didn't finish this book when I got to page 100 and a character was introduced that had " the gift of sight". I hate when a book has this theme, there should be some kind of warning on the back or something. However I am glad that I finished it because it turned out to be a pretty good book.

Mary/Sarah (h) is on the run. She thinks that she might have killed her father after the last time he raped her. She has been a victim of incest for many years and now at the age of 18 she could take More...

The Tiger's Woman starts in late 1869 San Francisco as Mary Smith is on the run from her past.

Still terrified that the man from her past will find her she accepts Jason's offer of pro More...

Pretty interesting book, with a lot of story weaving in and out. Hero walks with a limp.

A fair historical romantic fiction featuring an abused heroine and a reclusive hero. I ended up skimming quite a few pages but the love story got me to the end.

This is one of my favorite books. It is one of the best historical romance works that I have ever read. The story is unique, the characters are unforgettable, and the detail is richly atmospheric. Like most of the other reviewers, I have read THE TIGER'S WOMAN more than once, and I plan to read it again. Recommended for romance fans and skeptics alike.

One of my top five books - I've read it more than 10 times! Her historical research is phenomenal and her characters are ones you want to live with even after 600+ pages.

Absolutely top notch historical romantic fiction. You have it all--wild San Francisco, abused heroine on the run, reclusive hero. Very emotional. Keep the Kleenex handy.
