This was the first historical romance I've read in quite some time. I found it to be a wonderful re-introduction to the genre. Here we have the story of Katie, returning to where her life was forever changed.
Immediately I liked Katie. She seemed mature beyond her actual teen years. We meet her as she is on a stage coach, coming around the bend into her old hometown. She is filled with about every emotion you can imagine, returning after a decade of being away. The author did a wonderful job of painting the scenery for us, I could almost feel myself craning my head to see around the corner in anticipation!
We get to see Katie reintegrate herself into some semblance of a reality. And then she meets Tyler Reynolds. Welcome, rugged, handsome, sexy cowboy!
Katie and Tyler definitely have their share of ups and downs, miscommunications and misunderstandings. And boy oh boy, that "getting to know you" stage really takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to these two new lovebirds. There are several points where you think "awww heck, just throw in the towel you two, the odds are stacked against you!" while you are secretly hoping they can get through and over everything before them.
I found this story to have a large heart within it. There was action, romance, drama, fear, love, hate... there was even some guns involved! If you are into a clean romance, historical fiction, or historical romance, then this will be a nice read for you. I enjoyed it very much!

This story had so much potential that it about breaks my heart to give it a poor review, but quite frankly the book bombed! There was a never ending description of poor Katie's feelings. A never ending description of Tyler's feelings. Endless flashbacks between them, but actual dialogue? Very little, and very boring. The heroine is crying by the first chapter end, fainting at church, being overcome by the past at every point and yet is strong enough to fit into town right away, handle unruly children, and help save the day at the end. Oh, and she's a pretty good judge of horseflesh when she's not weeping over tombstones.
And the end? Don't get me started. It's nice and a happy ending but just doesn't add up all around.
Overall, the author shows fabulous potential as a writer. But don't spend more than 99cents for the book unless you really like long rambling descriptions of evrything including the silence.

Riveting story!

The storyline had potential but the words didn't flow and the editing was so bad I wonder if it was edited at all. Overall poor writing IMHO.
