The great Grand Springs blackout had impacted everyone--especially little Vicky Sloane, who had survived a long, lonely night trapped in a darkened cave. She'd emerged a town celebrity, but the incident took its toll on her family. Cassidy and Karen Sloan--were their differences irreconcilable? The taciturn rancher knew there had to be a way to win back his beautiful doctor wife. Was he up to the challenge? Could his little girl's wisdom show him the way to lead his heart home?

Reviews

[A · Rating 3 out of 5]

The H is a little one dimensional with temper tantrums in his first book with wanting his doctor wife to become a stay at home mom and not even celebrating her award. He is a man child who hasn't grown up and a jerk with mommy and daddy issues. Despite this, the book was well written. The h is self delusional about her relationship for over 10 years despite h never uttering a word of love. She is a virgin who got pregnant and H marries her and 9 years later when their daughter has an accidental fall, H blames her for not being a stay at home parent rather himself for letting her go play with her baby sitter in bad weather outside. She takes on the burden of being a mother, wife and a resident doctor with no support from her husband and even in separation, she has to make arrangements for the divorce without the H doing his share! Just when the story gets interesting, it into a HEA abruptly.
