You can't help but ooh and ah at the wealth that surrounds strong leads Elliott and Meredith.

These two broken souls fall deeply in love and we root hard for them to overcome their many obstacles. And I would be remiss if I didn't add that this novel comes complete with a gripping mystery--one that will make your heart pound. Along for Meredith and Elliott's journey are a fine group of quirky, strong and loyal characters. The Last MacKlenna is first in Romance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviewer's Comments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I first approached Logan's work, I expected to be confronted by a star-trekky series of superficial, time-travel inventions that are ten a penny and simply don't appeal to me at all. How wrong I was. In reality, I found a writer of ingenuity, with a depth of understanding of the human condition and the ability to share it with the reader that far exceeded my expectations. Yes--I have to admit it; that exceeded my expectations of a modern woman and an American woman at that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer two novels to date, The Ruby Brooch and The Last MacKlenna, both of which I've read and hugely enjoyed, explore the lives of two women, Kit MacKlenna and Meredith Montgomery both of whom face worlds of adversity and come through them thanks to a mixture of such determination and, it has to be said, pig-headedness, that the reader is drawn into their lives and wants them to succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir men, Cullen Montgomery and Elliot Fraser, are developed with a deftness of touch that I once again consider exceptional in a female writer. I feel that Logan is a writer to be read, enjoyed and admired, and having found her voice in her work to date, may well produce a contemporary novel of lasting significance. I shall look forward to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScroll up and add to your cart now!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50104261050591,"sku":"9780615880501","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/mXn3fJKlpx9780615880501.webp?v=1781104521"},{"product_id":"the-ruby-brooch-time-travel-romance-paperback","title":"The Ruby Brooch: Time Travel Romance - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShe's searching for the most important thing...
