review 1: Second in the trilogy of brothers living in New Mexico Territory in the early 1870's, this is Hank's story. Molly McFarlane, out of desperation, marries an unconscious Hank Wilkins because she believes he won't live after a train derailment and she needs the railroad widow's settlement money because she is fleeing her evil brother-in-law with her niece and nephew. Of course, this isn't right and she knows it, which becomes a major fly in the ointment when Hank lives after all. His amnesia doesn't help matters either as the lie is prolonged. Good story, with a truly scary villain who is tracking Molly and the children. I loved Hank who is the big, strong, silent type. Shy about his unusually handsome face, he hides himself under a beard most of the time. To say the least,... more Molly is devastated by the first time he sees him smile clean shaven. Wonderful story between the two, though I did have trouble with the deception going on for so long, but it was still great to see so much of Brady, who I really loved from the first book in the series, as well as Brady's wife, Jessica. Brady sees to Hank's safety while he is ill and barely gives Molly an inch. He's not a pushover when it comes to her, and I was glad of it. I'm becoming a Western lover and these books are great and keep me riveted and reading, reading, reading until they're finished. The character development and the plot lines are first rate.
review 2: What a wonderful continuation of the Wilkins Bros stories. Hank so much reminds me of my hubby with his quiet reserved mannerisms and his love for tinkering. He found a great partner in Molly. She is one strong, independent woman. The children were such a bonus in this book. I loved Penny! She really had me laughing out loud with her bedroom antics. Brady and Jessica are part of this story as well and I'm so glad I go to read more about them. I even like the way it ended with a sort of cliff hanger. I'm so glad Kathy pointed this author out to me. I am a fan! less
