Velvet is about to breathe her last and doesn't even know it when Patrick O'Leary lays her on the bed in a very strange house. When she does awake from a fever-induced coma, she finds herself in a cabin with Dr. Hoyt Baxter, who's hateful, mean and spiteful and doesn't care if she lives or dies, so long as she's out of his house and his life as soon as possible. Which is exactly what Velvet wants, but she has to have the strength to walk out the door before she can actually do it.

Hoyt had stopped practicing medicine a year before, vowing he'd never be a doctor again, but when it came right down to the wire, he did bring Velvet Jane Dulan back to life, a choice he would live to regret for many weeks. She interfered with his self-imposed hermitship. She shook the rut he'd been living in all the way to the roots. He just wanted her to be gone, but every plan he made to get rid of her backfired, and he found himself stuck with the unwanted woman. Until finally he realized that he did want her to stay. However, it was too late. Or was it?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Velvet Jane Dulan was meek, mild-mannered, and well-behaved until she left home, journeyed to St. Joseph, Missouri, met her four sisters, and joined a wagon train of mail-order brides heading to California. Waking from a high fever to find herself abandoned to the not-so-tender mercies of taciturn Dr. Hoyt Baxter, however, she discovers she has a full share of Dulan gumption, which she puts to good use in facing down a group of renegade Indians and an equally daunting set of disapproving women at nearby Fort Laramie. Gradually she carves a place for herself in Hoyt's home and his heart, befriends some of the officers' wives, and proves herself by example. Second in the Dulan sisters family saga, Brown's Promised Land romance is a gentle historical set against the unforgiving backdrop of the Old West, providing a poignant view of the hardships suffered by the pioneers and a humorous description of one woman's discovery that even a timid mouse can learn to stand up and roar.

Okay, your storytelling and characters are very intriguing and believable with their own very interesting backgrounds. How you weave together their lives and emotions is exceptional. Velvet really learns her own strengths and becomes a wonderfully blessed and strong willed lady. Hoyt finally understands that life in the past should stay there yet, keep the wonderful memories alive. And they share the yellow kitten and a wonderful future together. Really, really enjoyed this story!!!

This is the second book in the "Promised Land" series ; the first being "Willow". Both are good but "Velvet " I enjoyed more. C.B. is a masterful storyteller. The characters are real and their feelings palpable. I love a story that can make you both laugh and cry and Carolyn accomplishes that.

In this book the hero is a former doctor who "hung up his bag " when he couldn't save his wife and twin brother from death. A tortured soul, he resides as a hermit outside the army fort he used to practice in.

Velvet (the heroine) is unceremoniously dumped at his cabin when she gets a fever on the wagon train. By the time he finds her -in his bed, no less - the train is long gone...

I felt that the raw emotion experienced by the hero was true to life. And Velvet...well she's just a hoot. On one occasion she sends a pack of warring Indians away with "blessings " in the form of curses. I was killing myself laughing. Ok maybe it wasn't necessarily realistic but it was hilarious. The Indians take her for a "devil woman " and gallop away.

As time goes on it becomes increasingly apparent that the two of them may just need each other ...if they can only let go if their stubbornness and misplaced loyalties.

Overall it was a wonderful read with no violence or sex. There was one cuss word.
Bottom line : don't let the boring cover fool you its a great read!

Carolyn Brown is my favorite author. She writes stories that I enjoy reading even though I can somewhat figure out what is coming. She throws in enough curves to keep you reading. Love this series. Velvet and her sisters are my kind of women.

But there are a lot of grammar mistakes, which interrupt the flow of the story.. Lots of misspelled words and extra words..

Velvet was also one of the sisters that pulls you into her life and love. I always look for Carolyn Brown's name as the author so I can check out the "look inside" to see what it is about; she never disappoints me. I am caught with the first chapter and have trouble putting down until I reach the final page. Enjoy.

Second in the Promised Land series, wonderful like the rest!

In a surprising twist, Velvet comes down with a deadly fever, which had killed another woman on the wagon train. Their guide takes her to the Fort, where he learn that the doctor is no longer in practice, but has retired and living almost as a hermit since his wife's death. Against his wishes, Velvet is left at his home, and he heals her and she in turn heals the ache in his heart.
