Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Soap Opera style love story
I enjoyed the story of the two gals meeting, falling in love and weathering the cyclone. The book, however, is long and sometimes tedious with requent repetitions in the thoughts and words of the charactors. The slowness of the action is very much like a daily soap opera. I found myself wishing the book would move a little faster.
Rating: - Galveston 1900: Swept Away
Crist has written another keeper.
Again, there were some sluggish spots. But this book was historical in nature as well as telling the life of lesbians in the 1900s.
This book had me laughing in places, disliking characters in places, and crying in others. I enjoyed Betsy and Angel and their heroics.
It had everything a person could ask for: humor, sex, mystery, subplots, etc.

Rating: - More than just a fascinating romance
There are stories you just want to see go on and on and on and you hate to reach the last page of the book. For me these are stories like ,Tiopa KI Lakota' from D. Jordan Redhawk, the `Gun'-series from Lori L. Lake and the latest one now: `Galveston 1900' from Linda Crist.
Linda Crist's book ,The bluest eyes in Texas' was an enjoyable read but ,Galveston 1900' is not just a good book but an outstanding historic novel with a fascinating love story between two women.
I just love ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding historical romance
From hopelessness to hopefulness and filled with as much love as there is hate, Galveston 1900: Swept Away by Linda Crist has what it takes to be a great historical love story.
Set in the months preceding the tropical cyclone that devastated Galveston in 1900, Rachel Travis works on the docks of the second busiest port in the U.S. while she moonlights as a bartender. Rachel has known she was different from other women ever since she ran away from home 8 years previously at age 15. She dresses ... Read More
