Well worth it! I live a few miles from Williamsport, PA (which is the city that this book is based on). I saw an ad in the local newspaper about the book and that the authors would be at the bookstore to sign copies of it. The book caught my attention and I was hooked by just reading the first couple of paragraphs. I haven't been able to put it down. Very well written in my opinion. --posted on Amazon This book is excellent. A real page turner and unpredictable. I could not put it down! --posted on Amazon The author hits the mark. I lived in Williamsport, Pa. most of my life. Although Rossburg, the town in 'Millionaires' Row' is mythical, I know the book was based on our city's rich and exciting history as the lumbering capital of the world in the 1870's. It is remarkably accurate in detail for an historical fiction and brings the history of our region to life. The authors developed great characters who were easy to like--or dislike! I finished the book wanting more and look forward to a future installment. The book was well written and on the order of 'Gone With the Wind'. For those who are tired of formula novels and want more mainstream historic fiction but with more developed romantic relationships, this is a good book. My husband read it and enjoyed it, too, so it's appeal is broad, and not all romance and heavy breathing. The co-author's website (Kathy Keller's site) says this is a mother and daughter writing team who grew up in my area so this confirms my suspicions that they have done research to support the historic details that make the book even more appealing. Well written and well edited. I keep looking for a book signing at an area B&N since I now live in Florida and so do the authors but haven't seen one. If I do, I'll definitely stop in and try to talk to them and have my copy signed. They should teach history this way. Maybe more people would pay attention! --posted on Barnes and Noble GREAT READ! --posted on Barnes and Noble I loved, loved, loved this book. The rich historical details and witty dialogue between characters was wonderful. I had trouble putting it down because I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. I just started reading another of Kathy Keller's books, A Love Too Proud, and it's just as good. If you like historical romance, this is the one to read! --posted on Barnes and Noble FANTASTIC BOOK!! --posted on Smashwords 4 Stars . --Shirley on Goodreads 4 Stars . -- Alicia on Goodreads 5 Stars . --Kelly on Goodreads
