A Reason to Live surpasses the classic historical romance novel. From the beginning chapter, you are drawn in to the lives of these two characters. Your heart aches for both of them and what burdens they must carry from the deaths that touched their lives. Ms. McKade holds nothing back which brings the tale to life. Brief discussions of homosexuality to having to use the "privy" bring reality to this story.
These minute details along with the visions of a Civil War nurse are definitely not what I have ever found in a typical romance novel. But after not being able to pull myself away from the story until the conclusion, I can honestly conclude that Maureen McKade is a superb writer of this genre, if not one of the best. The next two in the Forrester brothers' series are A Reason to Believe and A Reason to Sin. The other Forrester brothers are only mentioned mildly in the first book as Creede notes he has two brothers but once you get involved in one, you will definitely want to finish the entire series.
