Luckylyn86's Reviews > Where the Lost Wander

I used to devour romance books like an addict. I was completely content to read book after book that solely focused on some sexy relationship and little else. As I got older, however, books like that got old for me. Now, what I crave is a good story. A romance that develops within an epic story is ten times better than any bodice-ripping romance book will ever be. That was exactly the case with this novel. During the amazing and terrifying journey across the Oregon Trail, two people find themselves and each other in the everyday struggles of life and what it is to live and survive. Love takes a backseat to life, and to be honest, I find that more in touch with reality than the romanticized version of love that movies, TV, and romance books try to sell. Afterall, life tests love and ultimately shows whether it is true or not, and this book reiterates that fact quite clearly. All the while, the reader gets both a amazing plot and a great love story.
