review 1: Badland Bride by Lisa Mondello is a 2013 publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Regis "Reggie" is an insurance adjuster sent to Rudolph, South Dakota to measure the damage done by horrendous flooding. Right away Reggie runs into trouble when she injures herself badly enough to need a doctor. She meets Keith "Hawk" McKinnon , the local doctor. He takes a liking to her right away. Reggie has her defenses up though because she has moved from town to town her entire life and she knows once her work is done in Rudolph she will have to leave again. It never occurs to Keith that Reggie will leave, but, when her part of the job is done she begins making plans to head on to the next town. Keith has other plans for Reggie though,... more if he can only convince her that she can adjust to living in one place for an extended period of time and can have a long lasting stable relationship with one special person. But, would Reggie be happy living in Rudolph ?This is the second book in the Dakota series. This one is not quite as heavy emotionally as the first book. This one is a much lighter read and shows the author's versitality. I did think the story was just a tiny bit rushed and the chemistry between Hawk and Reggie was just a little forced. There was enough material here to turn this one into a fuller length novel which would have given the characters more room to develop. Still, this is a fast, easy read and a good story. I will give this one an B. (3.5 stars)
review 2: Another Heart Mending Success! The second book in the Dakota Hearts series doesn't disappoint. The ice storm and flood damage is still being cleaned up and another McKinnon meets his match. If I hadn't started the book so late (almost midnight) I would have read it start to finish in one sitting. And now a bit about the story...Regis has traveled from place to place since she was born. First as an army brat and then as an insurance claim adjuster. She heads to Rudolph to assess the horrible damage for many of her clients. She's only been to a handful of clients when she slips and punctures her leg on some fencing that had been mangled. This puts her in the sights of Hawk. Will he be able to help her find a permanent home? Or will she just fly away once the claims are filed?Favorite passage: "You're getting me in trouble." "I have a feeling you can do that all by yourself." less
