Oh My Books! Review,12/2010
I was totally in love with Mark. He's such a gentleman. I ain't a big
fan of ranchers/cowboys, but Mark is very hot and as some of the
characters said "He has balls". It was sweet to see how in love he was
with Izobelle, and how much he wanted to protect her.
A Spirited Heart is a very sweet romantic story. It's fast paced
and with some turns in the plot that makes it interesting enough and
different from the typical romance. I couldn't stop reading it, and I
finished the book in a couple of hours.
Izzy was my favorite character (besides Mark, of course) because I
could relate to her. She wants to be free, but sometimes she's too
stubborn and ends hurting people around her. But I also like the rest
of the characters, because each of them seems to have a personality and
a plot on their own.
Overall, it's a light and sweet story, and I recommend it if you
are looking for intense characters and a happily ever after ending.
An Enjoyable Romance Tale,
The beautiful daughter of a wealthy, powerful rancher, Izobelle "Izzy"
Montgomery is slated to be married to a man she's never met; however,
refusing to be used as collateral in a business arrangement, Izzy
surmises that fleeing the ranch is her only option of escaping her
dreaded upcoming marriage. While on the run, she crosses paths with the
handsome Mark Horton, who becomes committed to helping her in her
plight - and, naturally, soon develops deeper feelings for the
beautiful, spirited young woman; however, can the passion of their
whirlwind affair survive the dangerous wrath of Izzy's father...?
Surprisingly engaging, A Spirited Heart is an enjoyable romance
tale. Through unique, vivid characters and highly believable plotlines,
author Dalba Castrillon sweeps the reader up in the dramatic saga of
Izzy and Mark's "forbidden" love. After all, who among us can't relate
to tales of taboo romance involving deep, burning desires that can't be
tamed - no matter how hard we try? With each new challenge that
confronts them, Izzy and Mark bravely rise to the occasion, ultimately
proving that there is nothing more powerful than the bonds of real,
lasting love. A heartwarming read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic!,
This review is from: A Spirited Heart (Paperback)
"A Spirited Heart" is definitely a must-read. Elaborate and
descriptive, it makes you feel as if you were a character in the story.
Once you start reading this tale, you will not be able to stop. As it
progresses, more and more excitement unfolds.
By Iris (New York United States) - This review is from: A Spirited Heart (Paperback)
This is a timeless,romantic story. I just could not stop reading it and
finished the book in less than 24 hours. It reminded me of a Spanish
soap opera, without all the drama. Izzy reminded me of myself, as I can
be stubborn,and determined, yet naive. This is a nice, heartwarming
story.Check it out! I am sure you will enjoy this book just as much as
I did. The book makes a great gift to a friend. Thanks to the author
for writing this beautiful story.
ROMANTIC,
