Hi Romance Fans,
My historical romances are full of heat, humor, and quirky characters. I’ve always loved history, which was my college major. Things of the past fascinate me. Not those boring history classes in high school, but the history of people. How they lived their lives, what they ate, what they wore, the challenges they faced, what they worried about.
I have recently delved into Historical Cozy Mysteries. My very first one, For the Love of the Baron, a Historical Romantic Suspense novella, spurred me to try a full length, non-romance focused cozy mystery. A Study in Murder released last year from Crooked Lane Publishing, and the reviews have been excellent. The second book, The Sign of Death, released this year and the next book, The Mystery of Albert E. Finch will release in January of 2022.
I've also been busy keeping up with my Regency/Victorian romances. Check out my latest series, The Rose Room Rogues. Four brothers who own a gambling club and find themselves caught in the net of love.
Watch for my new Highlander series, The Sutherlands of Dornoch. The first book in that series, To Deceive a Highlander, will release March 30th.
Take a look around my website and check out some of the books I write, and their lovely covers. www.calliehutton.com

I haven't read an historical romance in a while, i was excited when I got this one. It was really good. The characters were really easy to connect with and the story line flowed perfectly.
Emily escapes from her abusive husband and hides out in OK as a waitress, her parents are gone and she has no one else to help her. She is quiet, keeps to herself and stays under the radar so Louis can't find her and drag her back home to TX.
Hunter is headed home to OK for the first time in 10 years. Being a Ranger keep him on the road, tracking down criminals, with one main criminal in mind - the man who killed his father. Hunter comes across Emily and know that she is hiding something, but before he can figure out what it is, she disappears.
There are some plot twists that I didn't see coming! And a little bit of mystery thrown in with the romance. Great book for everyone to pick up!

Hunter gets his story this time and what a story it is! A wonderfully entertaining read that is full of twists and turns and surprises! The Hendersen/Cochran family within the Oklahoma Lover's series are such delightful characters in a series where each of the characters shine in their own spotlight. Series regulars make a stunning appearance in this story and add another layer of entertainment to the read. Oklahoma Lover's is a stunning series and Anyplace But Here was a fabulous conclusion to this series.

June 6, 2015Anyplace But Here is the fifth book in Ms Hutton’s Oklahoma series. I have not read the previous volumes, and the copy we at RRM received was labelled an ARC, but actually a manuscript copy of the work that is to be published which means things might change.
One of the things that I have learned has a place in romance literature is where we have the heroine who is beset upon be her villainous spouse and flees for a new life. In that new life she meets her hero. In my writing group, I have one author who uses this plot exclusively. This is a plot that can certainly work, but it is better when it is not forced, I find, and to me, Anyplace but Here is very much forced on us.That we are introduced to our villain who is given one dimension at the beginning would seem to suggest we will never see him again.
Unfortunately we do see the villain again and when we do, there are contradicting character traits from when we meet him to when we see him again. Such as this takes me, a reader and a writer, immediately out of the story but Ms Hutton had already done so. She places most of her story in Galveston Texas, not Guthrie Oklahoma. I have visited Galveston once, and recall that it is the sight of America’s worst natural disaster in terms of death. This story takes places a few short years after as if nothing happened. The historian in me, wondered why no mention of the Galveston flood. Then the abundance of cars in 1907 in Galveston as well as Guthrie. A time when Cars were not so prevalent and roads that they can easily travel upon as well, and certainly automobile cabs were not. Yet they are all about it would seem, throwing me out of the story again. There were other issues as well. The Harvey Girls are used as a plot device, but I feel Ms Hutton explained the origination of these institutions far too many times, and well travelled individuals who would have known of them during the period, seemed to have no idea about them. We also have an issue with the time frame, where the end can not be possible if one uses ones fingers to count how many weeks and months are occurring throughout the story.
To the care and crafting of the story itself, the plot, as mentioned follows that fleeing heroine motif. Our flawed hero (who has a damaged leg when we meet him and convenient to mention it, but when he walks, climbs, etc, doesn’t seem to trouble him) seems to have thoughts that a romance hero might, but as I am a man, some of his ideas and words rang very false. Further to establish himself and his future legacy when the book ends, our hero has the chance to show that he is competent in a new profession, yet the plot moves him away before he can prove himself, and then, only by happenstance, does the solution to a problem that directly involves him is solved at the end of the story, not by his own efforts. Not establishing that he is destined to succeed at a new profession.
We also see often little hints that the entire family of the Hero’s seem to be a basis of perhaps the other four novels before this one. Each person in this extraordinary family having a romance worthy of an entire novel. Coincidence abounds, and even more so when the Hero and the Villain have crossed paths before making the love story between the Hero and Heroine even further troubled.
Some of the novel reads right. Shame as a concept of the times, certainly works. Other things do not, such as when our Heroine at the beginning of the novel decides enough is a enough but is sure that her preplanned escape route will be valid no matter when she chooses to leave. (Parts of the plan would work, but other parts would not be always available to her, I would believe.) Then last, our Heroine so abused by the Villain, gives herself sexually to the hero. Not only trust issues but the psychology of abuse and sex, which can take many years to overcome, is dealt with well before the novel has resolved all its parts. I am not one to write many sex scenes unless it is integral to the plot and I think this could have gone either way. That the heroine has been so abused, I think it a fantasy for her to be resilient enough to even allow a man to touch her without obvious hesitancy. Having a sex scene raises the steaminess of the content but I found it detracting from the story. Another instance where I was forced out of my suspension of belief.
The hero, from the viewpoint we glimpse when he is the primary character, also decides to fall in love with our heroine, knowing that everything about her was a lie. So that he really only has her looks (the most beautiful woman of all Galveston and thus Guthrie most likely also) as the sole reason to fall in love. I should think most readers would appreciate more reasons for a man to drop everything to pursue a woman.
For those reasons I can only say that this book strikes me as not more than a good read. A middle of the road read. Too many things that I can’t relate to as well as the characters that are created unable to relate to either. My Caveat is that those who like to see how a woman overcomes her personal villain and finds a hero to live with for the rest of her life, than this may indeed be a read for you, and certainly if you wish to finish reading the last of the Oklahoma series by Ms. Hutton.

Wow. Another day, another book.
I really, really wanted to like "Anyplace But Here". However, the fact that the heroine was married and kissing / dating (or whatever they did in the early 1900s) the hero... it was a little off putting.
The book also seemed to drag, especially with regards to the hero's court proceedings.
Okay... next up will be the final book in the Oklahoma Lovers series, "A Dogtown Christmas". By the looks of things, expect a review by tomorrow evening, LOL.

This is another really good book by Callie Hutton! Hunter Henderson has returned home after years away being a Texas Ranger. He's drifting through life trying to find his place after being let go by the Rangers after a career ending wound to his leg. Emily Smith is running from a hideous life in Galveston and finds her first taste of freedom in Guthrie Texas. These wounded souls find each other and begin a journey of secrets, lies and murder. Ms. Hutton gives us a story full of twists and turns with a wonderful douse of love, honor and family.
If you have not read Callie Hutton I highly recommend you start with this series book #1 A Run for Love.

This is a beautiful end to the Oklahoma Lovers' series. This book is a stand-alone read but it is also wonderful to grow and experience the characters from book one through book five. Hunter is running from an event in his past but cannot run much longer. He was hurt in the line of duty and needs to figure out his future Emily is running from her present abusive husband in order to survive into her future. Their two worlds' collide in an ironic twist of fate. This was an amazing end to surprise the reader.

Mediocre
If an author is writing historical fiction, I expect the history to be true. If Galveston was as bustling and successful a place in 1907 as this book says, hiw did that happen? This book needed at least one reference to the 1900 hurricane that leveled the city and left between 6000-10,000 dead to make it credible. Also, this is one of two novels I have read in the last 6 months about girls escaping abusive relationships by getting jobs in Harvey Houses. The other was much better written than this. Lots of other problems here. Not a great read.

I loved it! I felt horrible for Emily being abused I don't blame her for running away and I was happy Hunter went after her he was a good man! I don't want to give any spoilers away so I won't go into the storyline too much but wow the attraction was instant and I rooted for Emily to get away but there were some pretty good twists and turns this story was very well written. Callie has a winner here!! I received this arc by the author for an honest review. this story will touch your heart!!

An absolutely beautiful read. I love the romance where no one is perfect. We all have a past, and yet love overcomes in the end. This book just moved to my favorite Callie Hutton book.

Oh Lordy. Tepid romance but high murder and crime rate. It shoulda/coulda been a better book even with the difficult subject of domestic abuse as the plot device.

In Any Place But Here by Callie Hutton is the fourth romance book in the Oklahoma Lovers series. In it we meet two dynamic protagonists. When we first encounter Emily Cabot, we realize that she is a character with many layers. We meet her in Galveston where she is working as a Harvey Girl. From her actions we quickly deduce that she is hiding something and that coupled with her beauty is what captures the eye of our male protagonist, Hunter Henderson. He, too, is a character with many layers. We quickly learn that he is a retired Texas Ranger. Like Emily, he also is living with a secret. At thirteen while visiting his dad at the bank, Hunter witnessed his father’s murder during a bank robber. Hunter ran from the scene and never told anyone what he witnessed. Ever since, he carries the burden that he did nothing and perhaps contributed to his father’s death. The only thing that Hunter has are those dark and evil eyes of the robber. It is those eyes that have haunted him ever since. That was the reason that he became a ranger so he could hunt down that villain.
Meeting Emily. as she waited on his table in the Harvey House, Hunter is drawn to her and feels an overwhelming need to protect her. From her actions he realizes she is running from something or someone. He is determined to keep her safe and to find out her secret. Hunter launches a campaign to get to know her and soon they both realize that a physical attraction, or maybe something more, occurs. Then just as they are getting acquainted, Emily mysteriously disappears. Hunter relies on his training as a Texas Ranger to track her down. Will he find her? Will he safe her? Will he ever find his father’s killer? Will he and Emily be together? To find out these answers I suggest you get this book.
Ms. Hutton created a character-driven plot line as evidenced by her flawed protagonists who are drawn to each other as part of their quest to heal. I love the way she weaves her two protagonists’ quests together. Each protagonist is flawed yet not beyond redemption and that is what endears them to the reader. As part of the formula for a character-driven plot, Ms. Hutton crafted a strong antagonist in Emily’s evil and abusive husband. Then to add interest the plot line shifts to one of a who-done-it perspective. To expand more on this twist who give the story away, so I urge readers, if your interest is peaked, to read this book.
In addition to her well-crafted plot line and characters, both primary and supporting, Ms. Hutton’s use of literary devices of dialog and descriptive language contributing to moving the plot action. Her dialog is outstanding in that it allows the reader to see this characters and root for them. The descriptive language is impressive. I appreciated the way she blends historical data, like the information about Harvey Houses, to add authenticity to this romance. Together these literary devices transport the reader back into time and into the lives of these two protagonists. I highly recommend this book to enthusiasts of historical romance.

A wonderful Western love story... and more.
There’s more in this book than a simple love story. There’s suspense, there’s pathos and a good crime story as well. There is also violence, which is never graphic, but a gut-wrenching part of the story nevertheless. The plot is well defined and intriguing and the side characters are interesting as much as the main ones, the villain as well. The book can be read as standalone, but I think reading the other books of the Oklahoma Lovers series can be worthwhile. As for the main characters, I particularly liked the hero, Hunter, who’s very human, a tough guy, but also very vulnerable. And Emily is a sweetheart and I suffered with her throughout the book!

Emily runs away from her husband’s abuse. She meets Hunter and since she is working as a waitress in a restaurant that only hires single women he doesn’t think to ask her if she is single. Suddenly she disappeared. Hunter goes looking for her and finds the man he has searched for years the man who killed his father. The same man Emily is married to. An interesting book. One that keeps you reading.

Galveston TX makes for a lovely setting for a historical who-done-it.
Sweet story filled with questions about who falls in love and who falls over dead. The family will be glad to see their prodigal son returned after years as a Texas Ranger but the quiet life of a banker, shop worker, or anything other than law enforcement is too much for such an active man.

Emily is a young girl whom is way too naive and is taken advantage of by her husband. Before she realizes it she is trapped in a life of ease but is always on edge because she gets beaten and then her husband is mentally abusive also. She plans her escape and makes it and meets a great guy... but is always on edge of her husband finding her.....
Great read, you don’t want to put it down.

A different love story
Interesting story line of cops and robbers. Sexual situations. Abuse of the wife and historic attitude of law enforcement on the subject was somewhat interesting.

Fun, exciting and enjoyable western romance.
Couldn't put it down! A usual cliche, I know, but true. Characters seemed very real. Highly recommended for those who like romance in the "Old West"

Disappointing. I returned to a genre I've liked before but this did not cut it. Superficial, simplistic drivel with no real depth of emotions, personalities, plot or historical detail. Plenty of eyerolls, basically a bad Hallmark movie.

This is the first book I have read in this series and I enjoyed it except for one section that I felt included gratuitous sexual descriptions that did not advance the story-line.
The author included a post note with some of her resources and inspirations which I found interesting.

Anyplace but Here book 5
Very good story line but you still had a so called hero taking the woman to bed without being married. I don't believe that men and women of that time were jumping into bed with each other before marriage, not decent women anyway.

From none to a large family
Pretty scary. Women were not listened to when it came to abusive behavior by husbands. Men also had complete control of her inheritance.

An incredible series!
In the beginning of this book there is a dedication to team characters Tori Henderson and Jess Cochran. These two characters started this incredible journey of five not four books in the book called a run for love . Kelly Hutton is a gifted author in this series she did not write Regency she did not write modern she wrote romance at a time when America was grit and determination! She Brod of the Oklahoma land rush what an incredible. Of history where men and women went beyond their human endurance for piece of land part of a heartand the legacy of family. In this time a partnership not only with America but with true loves and true endurance and true meaning of family. So with Jess and Tori we begin the story of Tories nieces and nephews and how incredible this family in bodies American values and spirit. In this novel any anyplace but here, we need the mysterious hunter and we see how for 18 years he walked in and around this incredible family. With Hunter and his family we come full circle to seeing how touring and Jess and or the others come to define American family. While I am sad that the series ended and if we look at history what happens in the 1920s and 30s to Oklahoma we can only suspect that the Hendersons and the Cochrans will endure and still be with us today. Callie Hutton is an author who takes you by the hand and introduces you to incredible characters in a great storyline and the conclusion. I'm a personal note Kelly Hutton introduced me to a new concept of the library not my precious paper books which I will always treasure, but she introduced me to the electronic shelves now filled with books on my Kindle! Take a chance on a talented author and read this series! Hunter is not the only Henderson whom you will cheer for and clap for an shed a tear for come join the adventures of the Hendersons and the Cochrans.

With Hunter and his family we come full circle to seeing how touring and Jess and or the others come to define American family. While I am sad that the series ended and if we look at history what happens in the 1920s and 30s to Oklahoma we can only suspect that the Hendersons and the Cochrans will endure and still be with us today. Callie Hutton is an author who takes you by the hand and introduces you to incredible characters in a great storyline and the conclusion. I'm a personal note Kelly Hutton introduced me to a new concept of the library not my precious paper books which I will always treasure, but she introduced me to the electronic shelves now filled with books on my Kindle! Take a chance on a talented author and read this series! Hunter is not the only Henderson whom you will cheer for and clap for an shed a tear for come join the adventures of the Hendersons and the Cochrans.

Couldn’t put Any Place but Here Down—Stayed up passed my bedtime to finish.
Historical Western Romance that was full of twists and turns, excitement, and even a crumbling building—A Whodunit and romance mixed into one. Strong hero who didn’t give up when it seemed that the heroine didn’t want him; heroine who wasn’t week and whiney.
Thoroughly enjoyable. 4.5 stars
While this is book four of the series, you do not need to read the others to enjoy the story. (Characters from the other books make appearances but aren’t an integral part of the story)

Callie has another winner on her hands, and I loved it! Emily and Hunter meet in Guthrie, OK in 1907. She is running from an evil and abusive husband and fears for her life. Hunter was a Texas Ranger, but when his leg was shattered by bullets in the line of duty, he heads back home to his aunt and uncle's house. Hunter is haunted by a dark secret from his past, and when he and Emily meet at the Harvey House where she is working,, they become friends. This story is packed with lots of suspense and twists and turns, and you won't be able to put it down until you have finished reading it. You definitely won't be disappointed that you bought it. I was given an ARC in exchange for an hones review.
