review 1: I enjoyed Reese and Elizabeth's story , found it more intresting than the first book in the series. Reese. Returns from war after being injured and settles in to take care of his estate and farm to have Elizabeth who jilted him years before come back into his life with her son. He finds himself trying t fight falling in love with her again and at the same time trying to protect Elizabeth and her son Jared . Thrown in to stor is a second plot line with a friend from the military some continuing information about his brother Royal and his wife Lily from Royal's bride.
review 2: Well written and about a period of history that I do not know well (1850's), there are several references to the Crimean War. Most of the story concerns a mother and her son reuniting w... moreith the father of that son, but there is a major subplot where Reese's best friend is first accused of treason and when exonerated decides to get married after a life-time of avoiding it. It is more complex than this, of course, and I enjoyed both plots, although I would have preferred the subplot to be a bit less separated from the main plot. Oddly, what fascinated me most were the descriptions of Reese trying to ride again and his self-imposed physical therapy. I felt a sense of rapport with Reese since I am training a five-year old gelding who doesn't want to be ridden and could empathize every time he came off. It is touches of reality like this that make a book come alive for the reader and Ms. Martin is very good at it. I'm waiting for the first book in the series to arrive, so I can catch up before going on to Rule's story. I don't like reading books out of order if I can help it, but somehow I missed Royal's Bride. less
