When Hazard Wilde's experimental herd begins yielding fatal results for unknown reasons, he calls in research specialist, Dr. Erin Ryan, under the advisement of a mutual mentor. He hopes that her objectivity and expertise will help him discover what is behind the unexplainable deaths that are occurring. Surprisingly enough, it is her heart that engages itself with this project and with it, her tenacity when it comes to finding out the cause.

I found Hazard, the middle brother, to be admirable, determined, and dedicated. He has a close affinity with the land and I really enjoyed looking at the Double W through his eyes because of his appreciation for what his father originally wanted for him and his brothers. It's what he struggles to hang on to and improve upon.

Erin Ryan was endearing as a heroine because of her naivete which was at such odds with her advanced mind. I've read of heroines who have been incredibly smart but have also been, as a result, incredibly insecure or hypersensitive about it as well. I think that Erin's naivete was refreshing. Her lack of consuming bitterness towards the childhood that shaped her was engaging as well.

Langan has drawn two wonderfully isolated characters towards each other with skill, compassion, and heart. It's a wonderful story that conveys the sense that, even for people who are socially withdrawn, there is someone who can understand you and whom you can come to understand in turn.

This is a most enjoyable and romantic book. As a nurse, some of the medical stuff was not quite right, and was almost laughable. However, with all the romance, this was overshadowed. Any woman would love to have a prom night like that, with that date! Who would need the real thing? You have to read the book to know what that means, cause I'm not gonna spoil that little surprise! All in all, this was a well thought out, romantic book that I have read twice since buying it!

I enjoyed the story of Hazard, the oldest Wilde brother of the Wyoming Wildes. This is the second book in the series and as good, if not better, than the previous book. Hazard is the least likely to gamble of the 3 brothers. The one most tied to the land. Cattle is his livelihood and his passion. And his cattle are dying for no apparent cause. When he seeks help, vet Dr. Ryan arrives. She is not what he expected but she is what he wants. This story flows smoothly, with an interesting cast and mystery to the end. I can hardly wait for the next brothers story.
