A Terrific end to a Groundbreaking Series

Dorothy Garlocks series set in the 30s and 40s has been truly groundbreaking -- not many romance novels being set in these decades.

AFTER THE PARADE continues the story of Johnny Henry and Kathleen Dolan from WITH HEART. And tells the story of them and their marriage after Johnny returns from World War II. Their marriage is in jeopardy after the death of their infant daughter -- a death Johnny blames on himself and his heritage. There is also something more dangerous about as an admirer of Kathleens crosses the line from admiration to obsession.

Dorothy Garlock deftly tells their story as only someone of her talent can. Heres hoping more authors follow her lead and write stories set in the 30s and 40s. AFTER THE PARADE is a must read.

I LOVED IT!

This was my 1st Dorothy Garlock book that I have ever read. I loved the people in the book and the love that Johnny and Kathleen had. When I was reading it made me feel like I was there in the book. Hope mrs. garlock writes books in the future about these people! ITS A MUST READ!

WWII boys come home

Well, it was good that I was able to pick up a story that was the last of the series and go with it. Sometimes if you read a series out of sequence, youre lost and disheartened. But this was easy to step into.
Its the story between a half Cherokee war hero and his wife, a red headed writer of Westerns. Seems they were miscommunicating on the death of their child. He shipped off to war and she would never forgive him---or would she?
It seems a theme for Garlock to have an obsessed dude running around through the story. He provides the suspense in the end.
After reading several of her books, I can say that that part and the everpresent some-woman-is-getting-beat-by-her-man is starting to make me uninterested. I dont know how her faithfuls put up with it. Maybe this is teaching her readers that if youre abused and reading romances, its time to leave him.
Or maybe its to educate the readers on how much abuse is out there. Whatever the case, its present in all the stories Ive read.
Back to Kathleen and Johnny--well, this romance seems to drag on through the book. Not much happens in the meantime until she gets kidnapped by the obsessed dude.
The highlight was the post-war stuff and the usual period detail prevalent in Garlocks stories. After reading "House on a Hill," which was so good, this was a bit of a let down. But go for it anyway!
