review 1: This great book has good old fashioned romance, adventure and mystery.Home is where everything in your life evolves from and revolves around. You find peace there and fill the empty gaps in our lives. Wyatt McCord was searching for his haven called home and believed that traveling the world would fill the gap left in his heart after his parents’ death. But when he returned to the place of his childhood after his grandfather passed away he realized that home was the ranch in Montana and family was his cousins Jesse and Zane. He had spent his youth running wild with his cousins and the friendship he formed with them was the foundation of his existence. They worked through the initial struggles of being back together after many years apart and now that Jesse was marri... moreed new challenges presented themselves.However the one constant in the background that kept everyone talking was the search for the gold his grandfather swore was buried on the family land. Everyone called the old man crazy but when it was proven that his death was no accident the mystery surrounding the gold and where it might be hidden became escalated and Wyatt leads his cousins in an intense search to solve this mystery. Notes and clues are being found all over the ranch and even in unlikely storage containers in neighbors’ basements. Coot’s notes are helpful and validate the gold’s existence but not enough to just say X marks the spot.Before Wyatt is even fully settled into the ranch he meets Marilee Trainor and his entire life takes another huge jolt right to the heart. She is the town’s EMT and has a past similar to Wyatt’s with having moved constantly as a child keeping her unsettled and looking for a place to call home. She was always trying to find a place that was a good fit for her and feel like she belonged and it seems she has in Gold Fever working hard for the town and its inhabitants. She is at first not enamored by Wyatt’s smooth talk and charming way about him but he wins her over and before either realizes it they have fallen fast and furious in love.But someone does not want them to be in love or even alive. One accident was scary, a second terrifying but the third is horrifying and has everyone running for cover and trying to figure out who wants Marilee dead and why. Wyatt thinks it could be her connection to the family and specifically him but does that make sense or has Marilee stepped on the wrong toes and created this crisis in her life.Finding the place you belong is very difficult when you have had an unsettled childhood. You wander for far too long looking for just the right fit and when you find it the pieces come together and you take a deep breath and say out loud the phrase you have craved forever – I am home. Wyatt and Marilee have both been wanderlust at times but when they come together they realize that home is more than a place to live it is a state of mind. It is a place where you snuggle up at night next to the person you love who keeps you warm and makes you feel the comfort of their existence in your life. Wyatt and Marilee are wonderful characters because they come across as real and people that you would meet on any given day in your life and be proud to call them friends.
review 2: I won this one in a first reads contest, and it was actually alright. Some parts of it were a little risque for me, but if you kinda skipped over those parts it was pretty good. I haven't read a lot of romance novels, but I am beginning to see a pattern here: Boy meets girl, boy falls for girl despite the love being somehow "forbidden," they overcome the odds and decide to start a relationship anyway, the relationship cruises along, and maybe they have a fight, but then the girl is put in a life-threatening situation and almost dies, boy realizes he can't live without her, they get married, the end. This pretty much seems to be the theme. That said, this book stuck to that theme really well, so it was probably what one would expect from a romance novel. The plot was not quite as good as the first book in the series, and while i liked the main guy character better, I wasn't as crazy about the main girl character, she was kind of hard to "get to know." All in all, I'd have to say that if you like romance novels, you will probably really like this book. less
