Eve is an attractive, conservative widow who has buried her romantic feelings with her husband. Her life revolves around her son and her job as a prosecutor. That is until she meets Noah.

Noah knows how to start and put out a fire!.......2006-06-07
This was my first book by Ms. Arnold and I'm pleased to say "Eve's Prescription" won't be my last! I enjoyed this story about prosecutor Eve Garrett and her hunk of a fireman, Noah Russell. A widow and raising a teenage son alone, Eve forgot what lust, romance and loving felt like -- until Noah.
Although, Noah had a reputation for being a ladies' man, but there was so much more about him. (He was the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.) Eve was just too afraid and insecure to find out what this gorgeous brother was really all about. However, girlfriend's feelings of jealously, passion and happiness, all associated with Noah, started to work on her mind and heart.
Ms. Arnold really brought the characters to life. At times, I wanted to smack Eve and say "snap out of it and get on with life with a man who is crazy about you." I fell completely in love with Noah. (Yummy!) He could light my fire any time! Great book.
JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.......2002-08-15
Eve's Prescription by Edwina Martin-Arnold is a story of redemptive love and
self renewal. In Eve's Prescription, the heroine, Eve Garrett, is a hard nosed
prosecutor who has been dubbed the "Ice Princess" by her colleagues because of
her stern work ethic and her avoidance of all matters intimate. Eve is a widow
who has committed herself to her only son and her profession since
the tragic accident that claimed the life of her beloved husband. She has
harbored guilt and anger for the six years since her husband's death. Eve's
unwillingness to acknowledge those emotions prevent her from entertaining the
idea of a new relationship. As a result, Eve lives a martyred existence, as a
long suffering widow and devoted mother. She wears her wedding ring like a
uniform and as a testament of her devotion to her late husband. Eve is comfortable
with this existence until she meets the alluring and sexy Noah Russell, a fire
fighter with a reputation for being a ladies man; then she begins to question
her lifestyle.
Eve's Prescription is a saucy tale of boy meets girl with some of life's
difficulties mixed in to make the story interesting. There is a delightful cast
of characters in the story which make the book easy to read. From Eve's mother,
Beulah, to her best friend Ebony, there is bound to be someone in the
book for readers to identify with. The love scenes, which are sensual and
magical, will change readers view of a firefighter from someone who extinguishes
fires to someone who ignites them.
Eve's Prescription is a quick and pleasurable read. Readers who are looking
for entertainment and romance are sure to enjoy. Reviewed by Diane Marbury

Love the Seattle flare!.......2002-07-22
What a great love story! Mrs Martin-Arnold kept me breathless all 300+ pages. Seattle is my hometown and I could picture every place she mentioned. Great book!
Awesome Read.......2001-12-05
Eve Garrett was known in the court room as the very conservitive attorney. She is widowed and a single mother of a teenage son. She takes her job and life very seriously after the freak accident of loosing her husband. Eve puts all her effort in her job and in raising her son, so when she is introduced to her new dominoe partner she knows that her best friend is up to something.
Noah knows the rumors about him. He is at a point in his life were he wants to settle down. When he is introduced to Eve he is attracted instantly. He believes that Eve could be the person that he could marry.
I truly love this story. The dialogue was REAL. The blossoming relationship of Noah and Eve was very believable. Eve had to forgive herself for something that she had no control over. And also not believe in everything that she heard. Noah has to break down all of Eve's barriers to show her the real him.
I loved how the author potrays good relationships between all of the characters. Each person has a key part on the story. So I highly recommend this very enjoyable book.
...Medicine Man..........2001-11-21
This book was hot!!! Calendar sexy and ultra fine firefighter Noah Russell's great looks and perfect abs belied the true nature of the man. Eve Garrett is a successful attorney, beautiful, widowed, with a teenage son. When Eve and Noah meet at mutual friends Ebony and Yoshi's, it is instant combustion, they are to partner for dominos but it is clear that Noah wants more than a casual partnership.
Struggling with intense emotions she never experienced before, not even with her late husband, Eve is torn. Aware of Noah's reputation she still can't help but want a sample of the forbidden fruit. Noah wants Eve to see the person he is, not his Mr December or Dr Feelgood image so after a tender moment shared between them he is looking forward to something more when his hopes are dashed by Eve's demand of secrecy. Noah wants Eve in his life but at what cost? his pride is on the line will he let it suffer just to have her? If she only gave him half the chance he would show her what he could be in her life. Eve almost lets age and unresolved feelings keep her from finding healing in the "real medicine" Noah's love could provide. Indigo books are a little spicy if thats your taste, hats off to Edwina great first effort.

A Great Conclusion..........2006-02-15
After 5 long brutal years of spending time in prison for a murder he didn't commit Austin Leigh is finally a free man. He is anxious to return to his home & the only woman he has ever loved. Upon returning home Austin learns that his first love has married another. Heartbroken, Austin sets out to find the real killer to clear his name. At the start of his journey he makes a stop at a small house owned by a woman named Loree. Austin is hoping to fill his belly but after a few short days he discovers that his heart is also quickly filling with love.
I absolutely loved this 3 book series. I highly recommend all 3. Book #1 Texas Destiny, Book #2 Texas Glory & Book #3 Texas Splendor.
What a refreshing change.......2005-03-18
What a refreshing change from normal historical romances. In this novel, we find the hero having an extreme depth of emotion, and he doesn't puff his chest out and try to dominate the woman. While I thoroughly enjoy all historical romances where the male has these traits, I found that when I read this one I figured out that this is the kind of romance novel that needs to be published more often. Where other novels have a heroine that is constantly trying to prove that she is better than the man, in this novel, the hero and heroine are equals who understand each other. There was no forcing anything on either one them, and they eventually realized how much they loved each other, more than they thought they were able to love. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who wants to read a romance novel with good plot, good characterization, and passionate love. I haven't read the other two novels, but after this one, I don't think that it's necessary to try to beat the perfection of Austins and Loree's story.
ABSOLUTELY A KEEPER.......2004-08-30
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FIND "TEXAS DESTINY", "TEXAS GLORY" AND "TEXAS SPLENDOR". IT IS A HEATH TRILOGY THAT IS BEYOND WONDERFUL. THE LEIGH BROTHERS, DALLAS, HOUSTON AND AUSTIN ARE NAMED FOR WHERE THEY WERE....BORN OR CONCEIVED...AND LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF LAND AND LAWLESSNESS BUT A SCARCITY OF WOMEN. THE MEN THEMSELVES ARE VERY DIFFERENT AND THE STORYLINE ON EACH OF THESE HUNKS IS ALSO VERY DIFFERENT. ONLY HEATH COULD WRITE THESE. HOUSTON COMES BACK FROM THE CIVIL WAR PHYSICALLY SCARRED AND EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIS BROTHERS MAIL ORDER WIFE.....DALLAS WANTS A SON TO CARRY ON HIS LAND BARON LEGACY AND DOESN'T CARE WHO GIVES HIM ONE.......AND AUSTIN GOES TO JAIL FOR A MURDER HE DOESN'T COMMIT. THAT BREVITY SOUNDS WEAK BUT BELIEVE ME THERE ARE MANY FACETS TO EACH BOOK INCLUDING STRONG WOMEN, ADORABLE CHILDREN..AND TREMENDOUS LOVE AND LOYALTY. THE BROTHERS REAPPEAR IN EACH OTHERS STORIES WHICH I LOVED BECAUSE I HATED TO SEE THE CHARACTERS "END" AT THE END OF THE BOOK......AND BECAUSE THERE WERE SEQUELS THEY NEVER DID......THE MIDDLE BOOK WAS MY LEAST FAV BUT IT TIED THE SAGA TOGETHER AND WAS WORTH READING FOR ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES IT ADDED. KNOW YOU'LL LOVE THESE FOLKS. I DID.
A sweet read...........2003-08-22
"Texas Splendor" was Austin's story. I enjoyed it, but I have to say that it paled in comparison to the previous books in the series. I just couldnt completely warm up to Loree. I also felt that there was a lack of Chemistry between the h/h. I couldnt put my finger on it exactly, but something just didnt ring true. I felt that the conflict was resolved in a very hasty and unbelievable manner as well, but I so love this family..being able to revisit them made up for any of the flaws lurking throughout. My biggest wish? I want a book for Rawley!! All in all , this is a definite must read for any fan of this incredible series.
Austin's Story - The final in the trilogy.......2003-06-08
This is the third book in the Texas trilogy of the Leigh brothers. In the last story we are left with Austin going to prison for killing someone who he didn't kill. When he gets out he finds that 5 years is a really long time to be gone. His promised love has married another and there are a lot of changes that he doesn't understand.
In addition some people don't think 5 years was long enough for him to be in prison, and try to kill him.
He sets out to Austin to find who the real killer is but along the way he finds a kindred spirit and the closest friend he has ever had.
I admit that I saw the ending coming long before the ending but how it was dealt with was wonderful and helped to lead to the story.

Loved it!.......1999-06-29

***This is the third in the healing women trilogy! I loved every second I spent reading it. I highly recommend it! The author made it even more enjoyable by having Sheridan and Poppy both be DIVORCED women, which was extremely rare in 1899.***

Texas Treasure by Betty Brooks.......2001-02-01
This book was great, I'm hopeing there will be another book about this family. I'm wanting to know about Blake and Velvet Johnson. Please Betty Brooks make this a series.
Couldn't put it down!.......2000-06-13
This is only the second book I have read by this author, but it certainly won't be the last. I also hope she continues the story of the family of brothers in the book along with the heroine finding her sisters. I very much enjoyed the personality of the heroine, not a clinging vine or damsel in distress that depends on someone else to save her.
An engaging heartfelt book.......2000-05-02
I have read several books by this author over the years. All I can say is that she really outdid herself on this book. I am sincerely hoping that this will be a start of a series of books about this family. This book deals with the aftermath of the Civil War and the devastation/destruction that followed. She is very detailed in her facts and interwoven in these facts is the gripping and turbulent story of two young people and their families. I read the book in day and a half. If you like this time setting then I would HIGHLY recommend this book.

Good..........2007-08-10
Fairly quick read, great insight on both the leaders and the soldiers who fought. Brush up on your french though, Some quotes and a few short passages are in french, Without translation. That was my only complaint. If you've gotten as far as to read these reviews then I encourage you to buy the book...you will enjoy it.
Literary Glory.......2007-05-22
The Battle of Verdun was a condensed version of the entire First World War. In this 10 month-long battle, the Germans made impressive initial gains, but were unable to exploit their advantage due to the adamant and intense French defense that denied them final victory. The feuds between German generals and administrative problems also worked against their initial success. Sir Alistair Horne brings all these issues to live and many others in what is a stunningly impressive book.
This engagement was fought entirely between French and German units. What makes Sir Alister's book so important is that most accounts of World War I in English tend to focus on the experiences of the United Kingdom. The French Army, however, contributed more division to the western front than the British. The focus on a battle in which no British units participated is rare in an English-language publication. The book is also an easy read. One testament to the caliber of the prose is that it has stayed in print since its initial publication over 40 years ago, which is no easy thing.
The leading figures in this study are names well-known to any student of the Great War: Falkenhayn, Joffre, Castelnau, Petain, Crown Prince Wilhelm and Nivelle. Horne does an excellent job of giving his readers short biographical sketches that breath life into these legendary names in a way that presents them as they were--human beings with strengths and frailties like everyone else.
As good as this book is there are some problems. Readers with out any ability in French might find Horne's passages in this language rather confusing. Sir Alistair's argument that Verdun cost Germany any chance of winning the war seems a little suspect as well. The German Army remained an effective force until the last stages of the conflict. Other factors, such as diplomatic ineptitude and provoking the United States to enter the war probably did more to cost the Germans victory than the defeat at Verdun. Still, even with those points in mind, this book is quite impressive and readers will enjoy it.
A fine book but an old one.......2007-03-07
This is a classic and the main lines of the book are relevant today. Some minor deatails are now obsolete from the viewpoint of the modern historiography. Holger Afflerbach's biography of Falkenhayn was published about 10 years ago. Horne didn't knew all the facts about this notorious commander of the German high command. An other book from the German point of view, Paul Ettighoffer's Verdun is great, but like Afflerbach's biografy not available in English as far as I know. It gives a completely different story about the fall of Fort Douaumont. Ettighoffer made me suspect that Horne misinterpreted the code name "Gericht" of the German attac. Horne makes Falkenhayn to look too dumb, the operation Gericht had some military sense, a little, but not much anyway. No serious historian can deny the main point of Horne. No one can whitewash Falkenhayn's name and Verdun remains one of the greatest military disasters of human history. Don't hesitate too much. Horne's Verdun is still a wonderful book to read.
excellent study of a strategy gone wrong.......2007-03-06
This is a good book on the battle of Verdun. Its probably the best book in English on the subject and it very accessable to the ordinary reader in terms of explaining the battle and telling its story.
Many people focus on the extraordinary lose of life associated with the battle on both sides. But the battle is very interesting as an example of a strategy gone wrong. Both sides lost their prespective on events with disasterous consequences. The initial German plan was for an offensive in a strong and critical sector of the french front that would force the French into a counterattack with disproportionate losses on their side. What went wrong at first was that the German attacks were more successful than the german side ever imagined they would be. The success of the attacks created an impression that an outright victory at Verdun might be possible. This impression led to huge losses to the german army. The Germans had in fact blundered into the trap they had hoped to set for the French. And once the losses started to mount, they losses themselves became part of a circular logic that kept the offensive going. Once the germans had exhausted their offensive push, the French did what the Germans had originally expected them to do and launched counteroffensives with huge losses to take back everything that they had lost.
The lessons I took from the book is that plans have to be objectively re-evaluated on a regular basis. Emotion and prestige need to take second place to an understanding of what can be gained at what cost. Finally, that victory fever can fool a leader implimenting a successful strategy into making enormous gambles to win a bigger victory than the strategy was intended to deliver.
Beyond the questions of strategy, the book shows the true acts of what can only be called heroism on both sides in the different phases of the battle. There were shocking victories and bitter defenses on both sides. Horne also does a wonderful job of going beyond the battle into its effects on French culture, history and politics in the postwar period. There is no other book about Verdun in english that even comes close and few books on the first world war that capture it so well.
The Slaughter at Verdun.......2007-02-05
Alistair Horne's "The Price of Glory" is a superbly written and haunting account of the horrendous battle at Verdun in 1916 between the French and German Armies. The Germans consciously attacked a fortress they knew the French would defend to the death in order to bleed the French Army white. The French Army, for its own reasons, willingly accepted the challenge. What followed was a battlefield slaughter exceeded only by the campaigns on the Somme for ferocity and casualties.
Horne does a brillant job of capturing the experience of battle at the tactical level of the French and German troops trapped in the horror of the siege. He does an equally brillant job unraveling the staff machinations within the French and German Armies that fed fresh masses of troops into an obviously deadlocked battle for months. To a significant extent, Horne describes how the failures of imagination at the general officer level contributed directly to the long stalemate on the Western Front.
Horne wrote this book in 1962; interpretations of the First World War have evolved since then but do not detract from the power of Horne's compelling narrative.
This book is highly recommended to students of the First World War and of the operational art of war.
Book Description
An intriguing and detailed look at the greatest season a golfer has ever had-when Bobby Jones became the first golfer to win all four major championships in one year The year 2005 marks the 75th anniversary of Bobby Jones's remarkable 1930 season. No one had won the Grand Slam before-and no one has since. In a splendid narrative that is worthy of Jones's singular achievement, Curt Sampson, acknowledged as one of golf's best writers, captures the magic of his feat and the high cost he paid to achieve it, set against the backdrop of the Depression.
Customer Reviews:
Puzzling Accounting of Facts.......2006-03-19
I am puzzled at why Sampson would set out to deminish Jones and his family. I noted that some of "his" facts are actually completely different in other books that are exhaustively researched such as Mark Frost's book The Grand Slam and others I have read including Down the Fairway by Jones himself. Even if everything negative he came up with was true it isn't really very much in light of the great man that he was. He was a man of impeccable character but he was a human being. He was sensitive and conscientious, intellegent, honest and gracious above all.
Even so, I enjoy reading anything about Jones which has led to my reading of other books of this era and books about Walter Hagen etc. I enjoyed the pictures.
Best Book Yet by Sampson.......2005-08-17
I was pleasantly surprised with 'The Slam'. I have come to enjoy Curt's books over the years, but this one is his best, by far. (...)
Interesting, enlightening, but with a certain tunnel vision.......2005-06-19
A marvelous look at the pressure that a champion athlete faces as he attempts to achieve something never done before. Few accounts offer the depth Mr. Sampson does as to the pressure Bobby Jones faced and the turmoil he experienced as he attempted to win the 1930 Grand Slam. The Bobby Jones of
"The Slam" is a fellow you would want to play a round with and then drink a round with, and not the marble statute of most golf hagiography. Jones comes across as talented, driven, conflicted, troubled, yet handling the pressure with grace and resolve.
Mr. Sampson has a cynical side to his writing, and it comes out in this book in his accounts of Jones and the USGA. Mr. Sampson spends a significant amount of time in explicit and implicit references to a controversial ruling on the next to last hole of the 1930 US Open. The ruling may have kept Jones from missing first place. However, as much time as Sampson devotes to what is arguably the critical point of the 1930 campaign, he still does not fully bring the point home. The ruling was based on a local rule, and Sampson suggests that the rule was not made evident to the players. Yet Mark Frost's biography of Jones indicates that all players were made aware of the rule. Who is correct? Sampson talks about players complaining about the ruling, but who were the players? Supposedly the ruling not only saved Jones a stroke, but placed him in an exceptionally advantageous position for his next shot...but from Mr. Sampson's description I could not get a good fix on the geography. A map would have been helpful.
A good book, and a book that does Bobby Jones a service in making him human again, but often hampered by the author's tunnel vision about "The Ruling" and the man who made it, Prescott Bush. Yep, the future US Senator and father and grandfather to presidents.

A good tale with just one little problem..........2000-05-24
Okay, I'm a sucker for anything with the Gray Death Legion in it. I've always like Grayson and his band and even the totally formula routine of betrayal, overwelming odds, and final triumph, didn't ruin the fun for me. I must admit that the plot is the same basic one used in the first two books in this trilogy (Decision at Thunder Rift, and Mercenary's Star) but it contains some key elements that are fundamental to how the Inner Sphere "finds" the scientific breakthroughs brought about by Hanse Davion in later Battletech books.
The problem I have with this book is a continuity problem that leaves a hole in the plot you could fly a jumpship through. Ricol had a company of Battlemechs with him, clearly discussed when he and Grayson decide to cooperate and try to retrieve the Star League weapons cache. But in the final showdown when the Gray Death has its back to the wall, outgunned and facing a numerically superior foe, those 12 Mechs would have made all the difference in the world. But to make the final battle more "skin of the teeth" Keith reworks the plot and suddenly Ricol has no battlemechs with no explanation where they went. This error is really annoying but what can you do. Long live the Gray Death!
Read one, already read them all.......2000-03-21
This book is nice, the action parts are good, but AGAIN? Once more Carlyle is betrayed, once more the Legion suffers, once more they lose their dropships, once more they face unsurmountable odds, just like in " Decision at Thunder Rift" and "Mercenary's Star".
A tale of deceit and also of trust.......1997-09-13
The Gray Death Legion has just finished a year-long campaign for House Marik, but when they return home, they find their reputations destroyed. Accused of killing twelve million civilians, the Legion must prove themselves innocent of the heinous crime. Pursued by the enemy, the Legion flees. In order to survive, they must trust Grayson Death Carlyle's nemesis, Duke Hassid Ricol. The discovery of a Star League treasure raises the stakes, with the victor claiming the spoils, and the loser claiming their graves. Will the Legion survive?
I found this book to be interesting, and this new chapter into the Gray Death was very informative. Unfortunately, this book was unable to win a perfect score because of a few dragging parts. This book may be a bad investment for those who have never read a Battletech novel, as there is little to no introduction about the world of 31st century combat, or the history of the wars that grip the Inner Sphere. But if you're a Battletech fan, you won't be disappointed. The interesting story, subplots, and brilliant depiction of the Gray Death will make you put this novel on a bookshelf for treasured finds. A must-read!
Book Description
Anthony Price's series of espionage thrillers featuring Dr Audley and Colonel Butler who were rivals to Le Carre in the 1970s and 1980s. In OTHER PATHS TO GLORY a contemporary mystery has its roots in the horrors of the trenches in 1915.
Customer Reviews:
Rightly Included in a "masterwork" series.......2005-10-02
I picked up a copy of this book at my local library at some point in the Eighties. Almost twenty years later, I suspect I've forgotten the plot of more mysteries and thrillers than any single person in my tri-state area. But "Other Paths to Glory" remained with me. In "Other Paths," a young military historian is recruited as a cold war spy when it appears that a modern mystery is somehow connected to World War I. The characters are well-developed, the plot is tight and suspenseful, but most of all the haunting past pervades the book and becomes its most compelling character. Price evokes the immanence of history so well that the book is elevated from a good-read-that-might-still-be-forgotten to a genre classic.
A complex spy thriller with a strong historical basis........1998-06-29
This is one of Anthony Price's strongest works. The narrative is taut and suspenseful, with a complex chain of events occurring in the modern day which hark back to a little-known battle of the First World War. For historical and military buffs, this is one of the essential books of this genre.

Book Description
Offering a unique introduction to the historical person Jesus of Nazareth, respected New Testament scholar William Herzog traces the history of discussion and scholarship of the historical Jesus, including that of the recent and very public Jesus Seminar. He does so, however, with an eye toward the theological. No other introduction is tied so closely to the biblical texts. He asks, "What difference does the historical Jesus make in our understanding of the gospels?" and, correspondingly, "What difference should this Jesus make in our lives today?" By exploring in depth Jesus' words—the parables—and Jesus' deeds—miracles, Herzog presents a holistic picture of Jesus that will explain how Jesus' followers would have understood his miracles and his role as prophet. With its accessibility and clear connections to what the gospels are saying, Prophet and Teacher will appeal to general readers with little theological background and be a popular primary text in undergraduate and seminary classes.
