"This story had me hooked. I felt as if I had to read chapter after chapter to see how this most intriguing book would end. Rebecca was a strong-willed young woman who knew just want she wanted. She just had a little problem figuring out how to go about getting it. Jonathan was equally as stubborn but he knew that he wanted Rebecca and he would do all in his power to see that she felt the same way. For fans of historical romance with a mysterious twist to it, this is one to relish!"—Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews

"...A must read. The fast pace and twists and turns until the end kept me turning the pages. It's on my keeper shelf beside Snodgrass's other books."—Judi Phillips, Word Weaving

"...A highly entertaining romance set in China in the late 1800's. [Snodgrass's] characters are vividly brought to life and seem to leap off the page. The story is fast-paced and has several twists and turns I didn't expect. China seems to come alive and it's easy to see the places the author describes. Silk Dreams and Satin Lies is a marvelous title and the book doesn't disappoint. If you are a fan of steamy romance, yummy heroes and strong courageous heroines, this is a book you'll enjoy."—Brenda Gill, Timeless Tales

"...A powerful romance, supported by well-drawn characters and intricate subplots, all orchestrated with accomplished craftsmanship by Ms. Snodgrass. The end product is a tapestry which reflects the power of love. It is woven with long-lasting threads of passion, and colored with characters formed by their life experiences, often contrasting darkly with social expectations and lies...Will leave you satisfied yet wanting to read more about Rebecca and Jonathan's many adventures you know they are destined to face in the future. This one goes in the 'keeper' bookcase. I look forward to reading more from this talented novelist."—Sally Painter, Word Museum Reviews

...He remembers, Rebecca said to herself.

It was a joy she could not describe. She was mesmerized by the sight of Jonathan seated at the table ahead of her. Black trousers outlined the one muscular leg she could see. The top two buttons of his shirt were open, giving a tantalizing view of bronze in a forest of dark curls. She longed to shove the silky material aside for a more thorough exploration. Her boldness flushed her cheeks with warmth.

The way his sleeves billowed, she could easily picture him on the prow of a ship, wind buffeting him, a patch over one eye, and a parrot on his shoulder. His scowl only added to that illusion.

Stewart bent close to whisper in her ear. “I see you have met our captain.”

Her gaze did not leave Jonathan’s. “What makes you believe that?”

“Oh, the way the two of you are staring. The glower Jonathan keeps giving me.”

“It was a very brief meeting.”
