Sunset Embrace Coleman Family Saga Sandra Brown Books

Read this book the first time when I was 13. Now as an adult, I notice a lot wrong with it. Ross Coleman is a jerk for nearly the first 200 pages. He rapes Lydia after he vowed he wouldn't hurt her with the marriage convo. He goes on being generally unpleasant, spitting out cruel things such as calling her a sl* t and wh* re, white trash. She's angry about this because she's not any of those things. Lydia s stepbrother Clancey was physically abusive, and she even questioned if Ross was as ugly as Clancey, would she even like him? Even at the end, he believes Gentry, his dead wife's father over Lydia, whos pleading with Ross not to believe what the old man says. He goes right back to accusing her of being a wh* re.
They claim to love one another at the end, but I don't see how they do. Ross is such a creep, Lydia is apparently perfect, but its just lust. Just unbelievable to me. I hate Ross, am glad I read he dies in second book. Two stars because though I dislike the book so much, the writing was very well done. And let me add here that the sex scenes were too much, not too descriptive but were written beautifully, and it goes on for pages. After awhile I just skimmed through how beautiful and seducing Lydia is and how masculine Ross is.

Sunset Embrace Coleman Family Saga Sandra Brown Books Reviews

I chose the one star rating because I was beyond disgusted by the "hero" in the story. I believe it is OK to write about flawed characters, but this was taking it too far. For some reason it is OK for the "hero" to rape his wife and doesn't express much remorse for it and in response to it, the heroine does nothing. He was vindictive, and emotionally abusive in regards to how he treated and spoke to her. This isn't quality fiction. We as women shouldn't read this crap and find any entertainment or joy out of it. Shameful characters. Shameful book.
Forget any desire you might ever have had to live in the days of the wild west and traveling across our great land in wagon trains and fighting off bad guys! Forget being a woman in that time!! I have read enough westerns to know the time after the Civil War was rough but Ms Brown paints her characters in such brilliant colors that you become one with them. To me, that is good writing. I ached for Lydia, felt ashamed for Colman and prayed for Lee.Those times came to life in Ms. Browns skillful hands. I never thought about crossing the Mississippi River in the Spring in a Conestoga wagon, or finding firewood out on the prairie, or what you used and cleaned for your "monthlies" if you were a woman. Very good read.NK
I am generally a Sandra Brown fan. I have read 4 of her other books and thought each of those was very good. This book was not even in the same ball park as her other books (Envy, Deadline, Rainwater, Breath of Scandal). The reviews for Sunset Embrace were so excellent that I kept reading and reading, certain that it was going to get better. I found the lead characters to have absolutely no depth to them. Ross really doesn't display love for Lydia. He just lusts after her body in between jealous rages. The book would be 25% shorter if the author had not detailed every sexual act between the characters. I would have preferred a lot more story and a lot less sex. And it certainly would have helped to have a touch of charisma in the main character. I am so confused as to why so many readers loved this book!
Another great Sandra Brown novel that immediately drew me in and kept me engaged. This is the first 'series' that I've found written by Sandra and I was not disappointed. I love her writing style and how her characters end up imprinted on my heart. The story is about Lydia and Ross and their journey on a wagon train headed for Texas. When their pasts eventually catch up with them, they are faced with some very difficult circumstances. In this particular book, I especially liked how Sandra included the inner thoughts of both Lydia and Ross, so I knew how they both felt about each other. This aspect created another dimension to the story for me. I wanted to shout at them sometimes. Definitely read this book before reading Another Dawn. I must admit that Sandra Brown has ruined me. I have trouble reading books by other authors because I have been spoiled by the way she can tell a story including romance and thriller in such a wonderful way.
Hard for me to stomach Ross and how cruelly he treats Lydia when she has done nothing but help him and his newborn baby. His preconceived notion that she was a prostitute despite all the signs that she was actually not seems to give him an excuse for bad-mouthing and manhandling this poor girl who was nothing but a victim of sexual abuse herself. Then he basically rapes her and she somehow manages to put that aside and begins to love him??? He never seems that sorry either for it. Just doesn't seem to be realistic and to be honest I don't think Ross even deserves her.
SUNSET EMBRACE by Sandra Brown is set in the 1870’s following the Civil War. The country was moving west by wagon train at the rate of 12 to 15 miles a day. The people on the trains were looking for a better life. Time passed slowly allowing them to get to know each other in a very special and protective way. Beautiful 20-year-old Lydia from Tennessee had recently suffered the loss of both parents and was fleeing from a cruel stepbrother, Clancy, who had impregnated her. When she could not go any farther, Lydia fell unconscious in the woods and delivered a stillborn baby. She was found bleeding and near death by a couple of young brothers, Luke and Bubba, from the wagon train. Lydia is nursed back to health by the boys’ mother, Ma Langtry, and her large family who are heading for Texas with the train. Ross Coleman, another member of the train has lost his young wife from child birth leaving him with an infant son. Ma arranges for Lydia, who has just given birth to wet-nurse Ross’ baby, Lee. Ross at first resents Lydia and thinks of her as trash but is soon attracted to her beauty, sensitivity and dedication to Lee. Brown develops her prime characters well and brings interesting secondary characters into the mix. The book becomes a bit boring in the middle but the ending is classic Brown—she keeps the reader on edge until the last page. Sandra Brown has produced another wonderful period novel. I give Sunset Embrace a 4-star rating.
