5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and touching! Very highly recommended 12 May 2001
By C. Penn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fierce Bria still struggles to recover her family's losses ten years following the conclusion of the Civil War. The years of reconstruction in the wake of the death of two of her brothers, and her mother's remarriage have resulted in the ownership of Concord Plantation falling into the hands of her stepfather Orrin Foster. When New Yorker Lucas Kincaid arrives at the plantation looking for work, Bria sees her opportunity to regain ownership of her home.

Luke can't help falling for this woman who rides like a Valkyrie and defies convention when necessary. Soon Luke finds himself living for stolen moments with her and falling into her plans for a marriage of convenience. Luke has his own reason to seek vengeance on Bria's cruel and abusive stepfather. As the love between Luke and Bria blossoms, and transforming Concord Plantation into its original beauty, a dangerous game of murder begins, threatening the lives of both Bria and Luke.

MORE THAN YOU WISHED will fulfill the most discerning romantic heart's desires. The touching love story, intriguing plot, and wonderful characters create a fascinating read. Jo Goodman masterfully recreates the Reconstruction with an eye toward historical accuracy and a heart toward love of the time and place. This is one of those marvelous romances that you won't want to put down! Indeed, MORE THAN YOU WISHED comes very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars All That I Wished For! 28 Oct 2004
By Trish La Dish - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am finding that past good authors have fizzled out, and I have been searching for more good authors. To me a good author writes for the mature reader, and doesn't follow the traditional plot lines. This was my first book by Goodman. I found it to be excellent. I read the negative reviews and really have to wonder about those who wrote them?? As I was reading this book, I suspected that Bria was raped. I wondered how the author would handle it? She dealt with it straight on as reallity would have. It was obvious that Bria was very effected by the rape. Luke was a very giving and considerate man. When it came to Bria, he was mostly selfless. His love and gentleness gave her back her soul! The first love scene was extreemly moving and those that followed held their own. The intimacy was boldly written and very well done. Are there any men that make love the way Luke did? Men could learn a lot from reading this story. I liked how the story didn't follow convention, like a murder that was highly suspect but no one persued their suspicions. At the end, instead of the usual story line of the female lead being in danger, it was the male lead that was in danger. And, the ending surprize was very uplifting. I, also, loved the dialogue between Bria and Luke. It was at times short and to the point. I loved how they were honest with each other and their wasn't a lot of withholding or lying. This was a very good story and I hope the negative reviews won't stop anyone from reading it. I hope Goodman has produced more good stories because I will definitely buy more of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found another one!! 22 Sep 2003
By Laura Reichen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My favorite authors are not writing good books anymore (in my opinion, anyway). Authors like Judith McNaught and LaVryle Spencer. It seemed like all the other romances were really insipid and I couldn't read past the second page, until someone lent me this book. I'm sooo glad I can look forward to many books by an author that I can take seriously (as seriously as one can take romance books). I loved the first time Luke and Bria "did it". It was unique, touching, and a bit, uh, stimulating. I really enjoyed this book.
