![]() Sing My Name is an excellent historical western. ![]() Though a relatively new author with only three westerns to her name, Ellen O'Connell has quickly become my favourite historical western romance author usurping some of my long-time favourites. And Matt, a Southerner, rough around the edges, but a man of principle. ![]() Sarah, the refined Bostonian, doing the right thing by marrying a suitable and proper man, but longing for more. Set against the north/south divide of Antibellum America, two such different people as Matt and Sarah, would normally never have met, let alone loved. The story is engrossing, with enough historical detail to add authenticity, without slowing down the pacing or upstaging the love story. The love scenes are realistic between two young and virtually inexperienced people. ![]() This is Ellen O'Connell's second novel, and it's a beautiful story. When they are set upon by Comanches, only Matt and Sarah survive and they decide to make the arduous journey on foot to Fort Grissom, battling the hostile country, lack of food and water, as well as avoiding Comanches. Sarah Hammond, twenty years-old is on her way to Fort Grissom in the same wagon train to meet up with her fiancé Major Carter Macauley. Twenty-two year-old Matt Slade has been falsely accused of murder and theft and is being taken to Fort Grissom for trial. ![]()
