This was a nice effort by Linda Howard. Still, she almost lost me with her long drawn out tale of the youthful characters before they matured for the "real" story. It is also maddening that the characters don't say things that should be said until its almost too late. That adds excitement and challenge, but not nearly as good as her Mackenzie stories.

This must be an early Linda Howard tale. I really disliked the submissive/dominant nature of the relationship of the two main characters. She cries A LOT. And he is frightening and horrible. It was too unbelievable that they would have a happy ever after ending. But all Linda Howard books do have the happy ending.

I like the characters: quiet brave Anne Cornish, Native American medicine man, Charles, youthful clan leader Bran. This is a good follow up story to the first book and I am looking for more.

Linda Howard's strong handsome men, brave beautiful women and exciting sexual encounters are entertaining reading. I especially enjoyed these two short stories.

I am so tired of romance novels involving rich and successful people!! Are they really more interesting than the rest of us? This book finally changes up on that theme. Here's a guy with PTSD from nearly dying in a forest fire and a woman who left a failed marriage. Both are trying to find balance in their confusing new realities. Bella Andre really knows what women like. The guys are handsome, strong and gentle, the women thoughtful and kind. Connor Mackenzie barely survived a wildfire two years earlier and still suffers from numbness and pain in his hands. He goes to his grandparent's homestead to renovate it for his brother's wedding, when he discovers that his grandparents have rented the cabin to a struggling artist. The two don't immediately hit it off, but both feel the pull of their pheromones. A secondary story keeps the book moving along with surprises and romance.

I love Kathy Mallory and her cast of friends. Still my fav's are "Stone Angel"(Mallory's mom) and "Find Me,(?)" the story about Mallory's hunt for her father. Charles Butler is such a fascinating companion for Mallory and his "family," featured in this story, is as interesting as hers.

Anyone looking at my queue of books can see I love soft porn--Linda Howard and Bella Andre, Ella Grace---but I also like a good story with character development. In this "case file" the reader meets Liam Campbell's father. The interaction and internal responses to "dad" gives Dana Stabenow's stories some fun character development. Liam is also far from perfect and descriptions do not make him to be a gorgeous hunk--just a tall strapping guy with human emotions. Also fascinating is his love interest, Wy. She's compassionate and beautiful. Lot's of internal struggles there too. To fill out the story there are interesting others, like the shaman Moses, and the klacking Raven. Is Liam just Edgar Allen Poe is a new incarnation?
