The Ring That Binds

There is nothing I enjoy more than a sweet romance, and I’m also a bargain hunter. Those two pleasures came together when I paid ninety-nine cents for the novella “The Ring That Binds” by Linda Carroll-Bradd. The story is set in Aspen, Colorado, back in the gold rush days. The heroine is a widow, struggling to put food on the table for herself and her five-year-old daughter with her dressmaking business. There were plenty of historical details that transported me back a century and a half, along with descriptions that absolutely made the story come alive. I read “The Ring That Binds” in only a few sessions—all I had time for during a busy couple of weeks. The pricing of eBooks is a mystery to me, but in the case of this sweet novella, the value definitely exceeds the cost. Where else could I find so much entertainment for a dollar?

You know what else? This book tugged at my heartstrings without resorting to cheap tricks like casual sex, dirty language, or violence. It’s so nice to find an author who takes the time to develop real romance instead of tossing characters into bed with the hope the reader will mistake lust for love. If you are short on time or money—and who isn’t these days?—I encourage you to put “The Ring That Binds” on your reading list. It’s available at Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, or at the publisher’s website, http://www.prismbookgroup.com/TheRing... . While you’re visiting, check out the free short stories, ninety-nine cent novellas, and full-length novels bargain priced at $2.99. Or search for “Prism Book Group” at Amazon or Barnes & Nobel. The quality is just as good, often better, than books costing four or five times as much.
