The second in the Yellow Rose trilogy by author Lori Wick finds Texas Ranger Dakota Rawlings taking on an unusual assignment: escorting childhood pal Darvi Wingate to Stillwater. However, trouble seems to follow her around and they face obstacles that test their newfound faith.

The book does drag in the middle due to a bizarre subplot where Darvi is mistaken for a local investigative reporter (her link to Darvi is a nice twist, though) and is held captive by a man named Seth, who is delusional enough to believe that if he keeps her in his house and treats her sort of nicely, she'll eventually come to love him. His brother Eliot and Cassy, Eliot's girlfriend, also go along with Seth's strange plan.

Their romance is very sweetly done, but when Wick evangelizes through her characters, it's a bit heavy-handed at times. Still, it's a decent read and a nice middle to a good old fashioned romance trilogy.
