Dorothy Garlock is amazing! Always knows what the reader wants, and gives them a lot extra!!

This book is the second book of a trilogy, picking up where Restless Wind left off. What made this story so intriguing was the introduction of Lorna - the great grandaughter of Light and Maggie Lightbody (from "Almost Eden"). Also, featured is the wonderful Cooper Parnell, who we originally met in Restless Wind - the first of this trilogy.

Lorna resides at the home of Maggie and Light's - her great-grandparents - on Light's Mountain. At the end of Garlock's story, "Almost Eden", we understand the love story of Maggie and Light has become a legend. Lorna is wrapped up in the legend so much that even if a good man ever did make it on the mountain, other than the rugged mountain men and thieves and outlaws, they couldn't possibly measure up to her fantasy of a real love.

When a variety of conflicts arise, and she meets Cooper and Griffin, she knows Cooper is the man of her dreams... only her fantasy of romance and love is clouded by the legend of her great-grandparents, and her confidence that Cooper is the man of her dreams also pushes Cooper away - as he knows he cannot measure up to the dream romance she's created.

When Lorna makes a trip to Junction City, you'll again read about Mr. McCloud, Minnie, and Bessie - along with learning what's occuring in Logan and Rosdalee Horn's lives.

There are a variety of conflicts that arise for the couple, including horse theives, murderers, and old villains waiting to get their revenge... including Cooper Parnell's father, Adam Clayhill. Will this be the story that end's Adam Clayhill's evil ways... and is there another surprise character that will return to Adam's life with a similar connection as Logan Horn and Cooper Parnell?

Garlock is a genius when it comes to romance, character development, and weaving in characters from other stories. This is one of her best!

It made me laugh and it made me cry. Wayward Wind is a continuation of Restless Wind and the story line runs a long the same lines. I loved the book because it keeps you jumping. You never know what will happen next.
