A classic Western romance from beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller. In the wilderness of 1880s Oregon, beautiful Tess Bishop was captivated by the most fascinating stranger ever to drift into her small lumber town--a man as handsome and cultured as he was mysterious. Soon she discovered he was really Keith Corbin--torn by a terrible grief, fleeing his memories and the rich privilege of his former life. Bravely, Tess helped him hide his identity, and willingly, she joined him on his flight. She vowed to make him forget the sorrow that kept him on the run...and free his soul at last for the sweet fullness of her love!
Memory's Embrace is the third of four books in the Corbin series. After losing his wife on their wedding day, Keith turns his back on the church even though he is a preacher. He runs away from his church and family only to find Tess and love again. Another great book from Ms. Miller

This book was pretty good. I must admit, when i read Corbin's Fancy, i thought the continuing with Keith's story would be a little bit more heartfelt. I enjoyed the begining where Tess and Kieth met, what with him yelling up towards the clouds by Tess's interpretation, and then buring his foot by accident while still yelling heavenwards. There were touching scenes, but most of the time, i grew annoyed at Tess's repetitious wording of "I'm a grown woman" and Emma's and Rod's really ignorant and selfish characters. I did't really think it was necessary to add the confusion with Emma's deflowering, her mother's insanity, and Keith's injury. But then, if they weren't, the story probably wouldn't have been great as it was. I like your style, Ms. Miller. Continue the good work and hopefully, with more family stories along. =)
Well worth your time

Memory's Embrace is the third of the Corbin series books. Although it is not as good as Banner O'Brien and Corbin's Fancey, it is a delightful read. Keith Corbin is nor your typical preacher! The book begins right after he has lost his wife of only a few moments and he is bitter and definitely not looking for love......until he meets Tess and she turns his world upside down! I highly recommend this book!
