by Lois Greiman

Overview

"Greiman's writing is warm, witty and gently wise." --New York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn

Bravura Lambert has a daughter to raise, a tumbledown house to restore, and a struggling business to run. She doesn't have time to cry over a husband who only shows up when he needs money. She also doesn't need Tonk Redhawk, a Native American artist and wild horse jockey, interfering in her life. So what if he's charming and helpful and makes her autistic five-year-old giggle until she can't stand up? Bravura's husband, Dane, was once all those things too.

When Dane returns to find Tonk's horses in Bravura's pasture and his tools in her shed, he insists on moving back home. Despite his faults, Bravura longs to make her marriage work--after all, she took a vow. But then Dane does the unthinkable, forcing Bravura to finally face the truth about her choices--and about how deeply Tonk cares for her. Once she opens her eyes, she just may be able to open her heart. . .

From the Publisher

02/01/2016
Bravura Lambert, introduced in last year's Hearth Stone, takes center stage in this follow-up book. Even though their daily existence is challenging, Vura and daughter Lilly are enjoying their lives in South Dakota. Lilly especially is a big fan of the Redhawk brothers, Hunter and Tonkiaishawien. Tonk is a master horseman and Lilly is obsessed with horses. Even though Vura is attracted to Tonk, she stays loyal to her husband, Dane, who is currently working the North Dakotan oil fields. Dane finally reemerges in their lives, full of promises to stay with his family. At first, Vura is overjoyed to have him back, but she quickly grows suspicious of his actions and must make tough choices in order to be happy. While Vura is a strong and fully realized character, Tonk veers toward Native American stereotypes in his speech patterns and actions, and Dane is an oily character right from the start. The book would have been richer if the author had made both men equally appealing. VERDICT Despite a few shortcomings, this heartwarming story will be welcomed by readers who enjoyed the first book in the series.—Lynnanne Pearson, Skokie P.L., IL
