A Worthy Man

By Leigh Greenwood

Book Overview

All it takes is one WORTHY man...

Jefferson Randolph came back from war a changed man. Before, he was one of the seven infamous Randolph boys, raising hell across the territory. Now, broken and bitter, he spends his days buried in work and his nights struggling not to remember everything he survived--and everyone he left behind.

He's ready to close himself off from the world for good...until a chance encounter brings him toe-to-toe with a headstrong schoolteacher more than willing to fight him on every front. Violet Goodwin can tell there's a good man buried beneath that angry armor, and she's not going to give up until Jefferson stops living in the past and starts to see the future he could have--if he's willing to accept he's worthy enough to claim it.

The best

I have read all the Seven Bride books when they were first released. I continue to this day go back and reread them. Violet was my favorite of them all. I fell in love with Jeff from the begining. I could not wait for him to find his true love and I am so happy that he fell for a Yankee. It did serve him right. Jeff and Violet were both injured souls who really needed each other. They fought their attraction but knew it was hopeless. You have to read this book even if you haven't read the others. It explains so much of emotional suffering and the happiness that can be discovered when you are not looking for it. I wish the Ms. Greenwood would contiue with the Randolphs with the next generation. It would be interesting to see what happens to the twins and the other children of these men.

The Best - So Far!

I have just finished reading VIOLET. Its a great novel, especially when read following the earlier BRIDES books. The premise is unique which adds to the enjoyment of the story line. I am now starting LILY and on completion of LILY will miss the Randolph family enormously.

favorite brother

When I first started reading the seven brides series Jeff was my least favorite of the seven. But the tranformantion into someone who can love from someone who didn't feel he deserved to be loved was wonderfully touching. I enjoyed the way Violet taught us that often times it not what is on the outside or even what someone may want to pretend to be that makes a person but what they really are but what's inside that makes the person. I loved watching Jeff fall but I was glad Violet was there to catch him.

This is a "Gotta have" !

I have read all of the "Seven Brides" and all are great...But Violet has been my favorite. It made me laugh (having Jeff up in the attic of the girls school because he was to impatient to read the quartine signs is worth the price of the book), made me want to cry because Jeff was so emotionally screwed up from his fathers abuse and the war. I just loved how Violet could just slip in past all of Jeffs defences and find a nice snug place in his heart against his will...:) If you haven't read the "Seven Brides" do so in order and this story will be all the better.
