“Rarely are readers of romances privileged enough to find those that contain intriguing plot-lines, solid and accurately drawn characters, all set in a sound basis of historical fact … there are shootouts, cowboys and Indians, everything you would expect from a Western Romance. Beaver manages to bring to a life a smarter, truer Western Romance for readers of the genre to explore … Traditional fans of romance are sure to find all of the escapism that they crave from such novels while those who do not typical read the genre will find themselves pleasantly surprised how Passionate Alliance does not fall into the same old molds of traditional romance. Truly, Beaver’s works are smart and sexy reading.” — M.N. Prather
