review 1: 3.5 stars This is a painful read. The author delves into themes of denial, disappointment, love lost and love found. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, the author gives the reader a beacon of hope only to be crushed again by another defeat. Geez, these characters have some serious individual issues, never mind issues with being together. Still, when they find themselves together it is irresistible and passionate. Their lovemaking is so poignant, it heart-wrenching. This in itself is worth the read.
review 2: This novel starts out with a heart racing gun fight, and some very bad moments for our heroine Rachel Appleton. This is the second in the Appleton Sisters series. We first met the family in The Trouble With Cowboys, and Amy and Kellan's jo... moreurney to their HEA. To overcome hard knocks to there ranch and livelihood, the Appleton sisters decided to convert their working farm to a vacation attraction called Heritage Farm. The citizens of Catcher Creek, New Mexico are not happy with this decision, and graffiti and other annoying problems have been popping up. Nothing to the extent of gun toting vandals that Rachel is confronting today. She has her ever present camera, and is able to get photos of the men and their vehicle. She is armed and fires a warning shot to scare them away, and they turn on her in a volley of bullets, which severely injures her horse and herself. She is forced to do the one thing an animal lover never hopes to have to face, but is devastated by the pain in her much loved horse's eye. She manages a call to the one person she knows she shouldn't contact, but who always has her back.Vaughn Cooper is the Sheriff of Catcher Creek, and he and Rachel have a difficult relationship. They met and were immediately attracted during the investigation of her father's death in a car crash. Rachel and Vaughn knew that anyone knowing of their meetings would damage his investigation and her reputation in this small town. Quiet out of the way meetings was all they could manage, until one devastating night, returning home after a night spent with Vaughn she finds her mother unconscious from a suicide attempt. Rachel's mother does not recover, and neither does Rachel. The guilt is breaking her heart.This story has amazing twists and turns, and a number of shocking developments. Rachel is a strong determined woman, who believes in her responsibility to her sisters, and the duty of saving this land and their home. Vaughn is always in her head and heart, as much as she tries to deny it. Vaughn is an honest sheriff, who is faced with not being able to protect the woman he loves, and facing the prosecution of the son of one of his hated enemies, a fellow lawman. I enjoyed this novel, and recommend it to readers who enjoy contemporary cowboy stories, with strong characters, and strong families. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. less
