Kathleen Eagle (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: February 1, 2010

Sally Drexler was always running. The proprietor of the Double D Ranch and wild mustang sanctuary had her hands full keeping health, hearth and horses on an even keel. And though she approached every challenge with her chin high and her spirits even higher, it could get lonely. That's when Hank Night Horse came along, singing her tune.

Hank couldn't help noticing the bride's irresistible sister at his best friend's wedding. But this physician's assistant put rodeo riders back together for a living, and could sense that something about Sally was broken. Was his healing touch what it would take to soothe Sally mind, body and soul...and stop her running?

Very light weight, I thought, for a Katleen Eagle book. O.k. read, but I had expected more (length and intensity)

Sally Drexler was a human dynamo, always running, always taking on big projects, but now, the proprietor of the Double D Ranch and wild mustang sanctuary, has her hands full with her health, keeping the ranch solvent and opening up even more acreage to allow wild mustangs to be rescued. Once she supplied bulls for the rodeo circuit, but now, since a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, she's grounded, and in and out of remission. With her sister partner newly married and on her honeymoon, Sally needs help in the worst way, and she figures Hank Night Horse is just the cowboy to ease her troubles and her soul.

Hank, a medical assistant and farrier, travels the rodeo circuit and stitches up cowboys. He's also a friend of Sally's new brother-in-law, and he's come to sing at the wedding. He meets Sally while she's enjoying a bit of skinny dipping and likes what he sees.

Sally likes what she sees as well, and decides to enjoy her remission while she can. She wants hank on the ranch to help her realize her dreams of expanding the sanctuary, and she also wants him in her bed.

Hank likes Sally and wants to help. He wants more as well, but he senses all is not right with the feisty young woman. Can he heal her soul so the real Sally can come out to play?

This is another wonderful story from Ms. Eagle. I was a bit puzzled why Sally didn't feel comfortable telling Hank she had MS, but all was revealed in a believable way. Good strong dialogue, excellent setting, superb secondary characters served as a wonderful backdrop for Sally and Hank.

Kathleen Eagle is one of our best authors today. While the books are classified at Romance, they are also filled with history, facts and REAL people. I wish she could write faster !!!!!!! I can hardly wait for the next book to be available.
