Historical Romance Review: When Lightning Strikes by Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah is a successful author of women’s fiction. It’s fortunate she found success in that genre because her romances I’ve encountered are–sad to say–lacking in excitement.

This should have been a category-length romance of 190 pages not 400 pages long!
