By the fall of 1868 in Primrose Creek, Jake Vigil continues to remain stunned after Christy McQuarry jilted him at the altar to ultimately marry her true love. Living up to his surname, Jake guards his heart as he vows to never forget or forgive.

Christy's cousin Skye loves Jake, but his bitterness will not enable him to see her feelings. It takes Skye to challenge her beloved at every turn before he understands that he has another chance at love.

The third installment in THE WOMEN OF PRIMROSE CREEK mini series is a delightful romp that brings a smile to readers as they observe the battle of the sexes. Linda Lael Miller, known for her torrid western historical romances, has created a hero who will earn the hearts of the audience. Ms. Miller continues to reach the SKYE with her novels, leaving her audience waiting to see how much higher she climbs. However, August is the waiting period for the last tale, Megan,s story.

This is the second set of frontier series I have read written by Linda Lael Miller. "The Women of Primrose Creek" are truly courageous, bold, and intelligent. I am eagerly awaiting the fourth book to this series.

The main character, Skye, also the name of the book, was a feisty woman, but stubborn. Skye refused to admit her feelings for the man she loved and just waited so long to express her feelings to Jake Vigil. Everyone in the town could see that Skye and Jake were in love, except the two people it mattered the most to -- Skye and Jake.

Jake had been bitten by what he assumed was love on two other occasions, one time with Skye's cousin, Christy McQuarry, who later married the town's marshall, Zachary Shaw. Jake was a little shy at admitting his feelings now. Maybe not shy, but a little reluctant to fall into the trap again. Although in the end, he and Skye, could not deny their love. They marry; Skye becomes a mother to Jake's son, whose mother abandoned him and sent him to live with Jake. Later, Skye becomes an expectant mother, and Jake is to become a father a second time.

Each book in the series gets better than the one before. It is like a new chapter unfolding in the lives of the McQuarry women. "Skye" is about a woman who is determined, yet independent. Skye does not discuss her feelings with Jake, which sometimes causes confusion, as in the scene where Skye contacts the railroad company without telling Jake. He in turn thinks of this as an act of betrayal on Skye's part. Then the fire nearly destroys the town, but the people of Primrose Creek are determined to rebuild. All in all, love and determination win afterall.

I think it is wonderful the way Ms. Miller enfolds the lives of all the McQuarry women in each book of this series. The reader gets a view of what is happening to the others and how their lives are shaping up. The McQuarry women may be apart, but they are still one family. I am looking forward to the fourth book in this series.

I feel that the character of Skye was not as well developed as the previous characters in this series. It was a light, easy read, and amusing, but I was a bit disappointed. I am a great fan of Linda Lael Miller and was very pleased with the previous 2 books in this series, and am looking forward to the next.

Jake Vigil's heart is broken after being jilted by the tempestuous beauty Christy McQuarry. He swears to never give his heart again until he meets Christy's beautiful cousin Skye. He hardens his heart, but she stands up to him and his promise not to let love hurt him again. A business deal almost drives them apart but as their wills clash their hearts find true love. This third book in The Women of Primrose Creek series has many humorous moments in the contest of wills between Jake and Skye. It is a most pleasurable and romantic read. Ms. Miller continues to please and I cannot wait for the fourth book in the series, "Megan," ......

Definately worth the wait. Devoured the book in one afternoon! Can't wait for the fourth to come out.
