Sunset Embrace (Coleman Family Saga) Mass Market Paperback – June 1, 1990

Certainly not typical Sandra Bn. Too many descriptive sex scenes that were duplicated and not totally necessary but I guess were Germaine to plot.Not sorry when book ended.I have all of her books and at a stage of mylife when unloading.If any one knows for hsuggestions as to where I should dispose of give to please advise. I have even a few that I bought in hardback to aadd.Really Loved Sandra Brown.

SUNSET EMBRACE by Sandra Brown is set in the 1870’s following the Civil War. The country was moving west by wagon train at the rate of 12 to 15 miles a day. The people on the trains were looking for a better life. Time passed slowly allowing them to get to know each other in a very special and protective way. Beautiful 20-year-old Lydia from Tennessee had recently suffered the loss of both parents and was fleeing from a cruel stepbrother, Clancy, who had impregnated her. When she could not go any farther, Lydia fell unconscious in the woods and delivered a stillborn baby. She was found bleeding and near death by a couple of young brothers, Luke and Bubba, from the wagon train. Lydia is nursed back to health by the boys’ mother, Ma Langtry, and her large family who are heading for Texas with the train. Ross Coleman, another member of the train has lost his young wife from child birth leaving him with an infant son. Ma arranges for Lydia, who has just given birth to wet-nurse Ross’ baby, Lee. Ross at first resents Lydia and thinks of her as trash but is soon attracted to her beauty, sensitivity and dedication to Lee. Brown develops her prime characters well and brings interesting secondary characters into the mix. The book becomes a bit boring in the middle but the ending is classic Brown—she keeps the reader on edge until the last page. Sandra Brown has produced another wonderful period novel. I give Sunset Embrace a 4-star rating.

Sunset Embrace by Sandra Brown is one of the best books I have ever read. Give yourself a treat and buy this book. It’s a keeper.

Love the story but continuously repeating every move the lead couple makes in bed is not only not necessary but boring. It caused me to skip a lot of the book. Normally I love Sandra Brown books and seek them out above other authors but this one was disappointing because of the continuous repetition..Sorry.

Another great Sandra Brown novel that immediately drew me in and kept me engaged. This is the first 'series' that I've found written by Sandra and I was not disappointed. I love her writing style and how her characters end up imprinted on my heart. The story is about Lydia and Ross and their journey on a wagon train headed for Texas. When their pasts eventually catch up with them, they are faced with some very difficult circumstances. In this particular book, I especially liked how Sandra included the inner thoughts of both Lydia and Ross, so I knew how they both felt about each other. This aspect created another dimension to the story for me. I wanted to shout at them sometimes. Definitely read this book before reading Another Dawn. I must admit that Sandra Brown has ruined me. I have trouble reading books by other authors because I have been spoiled by the way she can tell a story including romance and thriller in such a wonderful way.

The novel is good. It has great tension between the characters and I give the sex scenes a huge thumb up. The problem is how stupid she makes the heroine. I HATE THAT.Besides the mentally addled heroine, it's a good book.

Forget any desire you might ever have had to live in the days of the wild west and traveling across our great land in wagon trains and fighting off bad guys! Forget being a woman in that time!! I have read enough westerns to know the time after the Civil War was rough but Ms Brown paints her characters in such brilliant colors that you become one with them. To me, that is good writing. I ached for Lydia, felt ashamed for Colman and prayed for Lee.Those times came to life in Ms. Browns skillful hands. I never thought about crossing the Mississippi River in the Spring in a Conestoga wagon, or finding firewood out on the prairie, or what you used and cleaned for your "monthlies" if you were a woman. Very good read.NK

I loved this book. Finished it in one day and read it again the next day. As for Ross being cruel, his upbringing explains a lot. As for me I love the passion scenes. She I certainly one of my most favorite authors. I’ve ordered the second book in the Coleman family series and I anxiously await delivery. Her characters are so well written. I’ve read at least 10 books by Ms. Brown and this is by far one of my favorite.x

Ive loved Sandra Brown's books ever since I read the first one. Whether it's romance or suspenseful thrillers, her stories never disappoint. I thought this story wrapped up on the second to the last chapter but it brought more suspense. What a beautiful ending! It brought everything together! Again, BRAVO, Sandra Brown!!!

I first read this book in the early 90, so it was very nostalgic for me diving back in my old "Best of" books.I wish Mrs. Brown would update this one and change some things and then publish it again, (like the rape scene), because I can't tolerate rape as romantic in a book anymore.To my excuse I have to say 20-30 years ago it was well accepted in books, if the H and h fell in love after the rape, she forgave him, and the book got a HEA. I know, this never ever would happen in real life.The rest of the book was fine with me, exactly how I imagine life 200-250 years ago in the wild wild west could have been. 😁

I liked that someone who had suffered so much was able to find people who loved her and was will to protect her. Very erotic

Nice story, a little dragged out

I love Sandra Browns book “Sunset Embrace”Wow I’m old lol I first read this book in 1991!But I have not read this book yet. I have to read all the other books I have bought from Amazon :)))))
