Imagine discovering that your entire life has been a lie, that you’d been kidnapped as a toddler and sent back to the 1800’s. Roxanne makes this discovery from Collin, the rudest man she’s ever met. A man who’s determined to take Roxanne into a future that terrifies her. Despite his fear of commitment, Collin can turn her brain to mush and set her soul afire with just a look. While struggling to remain the lady she was raised to be, Roxanne must deal with another man—handsome, charming, obsessed. Brad will stop at nothing to gain ownership of Black Rock Ranch and make Roxanne his wife, including murder.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

BLACK ROCK: A TIME FOR LOVE is a charming, witty, refreshing book for romance lovers of all genres.

Roxanne knows that there is a mystery surrounding the big black rock that is on her father's land. It has been rumored that people disappear when they get to close to the rock during a thunderstorm. While she is away at school, the unthinkable happens, and her father passes away and suddenly the land, the house—and the rock—all become hers.

Collin is a big, huge question mark in Roxanne's mind. On the one hand, he infuriates the heck out of her, and on the other, she just wants to grab him and give him a big ol' kiss. His infatuation with the rock and his insistence that it "isn't time yet" keep Roxanne feeling completely unsure of what she is getting herself into. What Roxanne doesn't know is that Colin has a whopper of a surprise for her, and when she finds out what it is and what he is all about, she is completely shocked—and so was I!

My only complaint about this book at all is that I wish there was a little more character development. Almost immediately upon meeting the chaste, shy Roxanne, Colin plants one on her, and that just didn't ring true for me. But the rest of the book more than makes up for it, as we get to watch as a beautiful relationship unfolds between Roxanne and Collin.

Miss Parsons writes a fascinating book, and I would love to read more stories about the black rock, if there are more forthcoming!
