Eyes of a Stranger (Carol Warburton)

The year is 1907, and Matthew Cameron has questions no one in his small Mormon settlement can answer. But answers come fast and furious when a man who looks eerily like Matthew saves him from a deadly attack. Rafael, the rescuer, may be charming, but he is also a ruthless exploiter. When Matthew refuses to cross a moral line, Rafael begins to destroy all that Matthew holds dear. Angry and alone-armed only with his unfailing belief in God-Matthew struggles to start a new life. Faced with a disturbing past, along with bitter racism in his new community, Matthew is surprised to find his sole defender is a beautiful, spirited young woman. Against the wishes of everyone around them, Matthew and Sabra begin to fall in love. When Sabra's life is jeopardized, Matthew must make some final choices: between love and hate, between right and wrong, and between life and death. Carol Warburton, master of LDS historical fiction, delivers a sweeping novel of suspense, adventure, and romance that is sure to keep readers breathlessly turning the pages of this unforgettable story.
This was a very good love story.

Midnight Whispers (Carol Warburton)

With the loss of her father, Jessamyne Clayborne finds herself without any family, except for her estranged brother, Robert, who has long since sought his fortune elsewhere. Set in the wilds of colonial Australia, Midnight Whispers is an extraordinary new novel by Carol Warburton, filled with unforgettable characters, compelling dialogue, fastpaced action, and the faith of a strong woman who must follow her heart at any costs.

I liked this book. I had a hard time with all the australia and scottish accents that the author tried to put into it.
