The Return of Cord Navarro
SHE'D HAD IT ALL
Cord Navarro had been her first love--her only love. He had taken Shannon from girlhood to womanhood, and taught her the ways of his Ute ancestors.
SHE'D LOST EVERYTHING
It had been seven years since she had lain in her husband's arms--seven empty, lonely years. And now she stood to lose their son, too: ten-year-old Matt had disappeared.
SHE HAD ONE CHANCE TO GET IT BACK
Suddenly Cord and Shannon were reunited in a desperate struggle to rescue their son, and they discovered a love that had never really died. Would it be strong enough to bring their family back together again?

About the author
Vella Munn
81 books79 followersI had to edit my biography, changing my status from married to widow. Since I'm often asked how I'm doing, I'll put the answer here. For the most part I'm doing all right thanks to loving family and understanding friends.
I have two sons and four grandchildren. Two rescue dogs allow me to hug, walk, and feed them. In exchange they give me unconditional love and the occasional need for the carpet shampooer.
As the product of a rural upbringing, the wilderness, particularly mountains and evergreens are in my blood. I live in a small southern Oregon town which boasts four distinct seasons, an awesome river, and the ocean within a short drive. Ditto with Crater Lake.
Setting plays a big role in most of my writing as witness by two recent contemporary romance series set in Montana's awesome mountains.
Also writes as Dawn Flindt and Heather Williams.

This book was just okay, too much of introspection and a silent, contained hero.
Cord and Shannon were too young when they got married, seventeen and kind of immature. Cord was raised by his grandfather, a Native, in the mountains and was used to more silences while Shannon was not, she wanted a college education and more and then they had a daughter and lost it and Shannon just shut down and instead of always trying to open up Cord and find out what his silences meant, she just walked away with her son, while Cord was on another rescue mission.
She has now re-built her life, a business-woman and she and Cord hardly talk except when he comes to take their son Matt and then Matt gets lost, trying to prove he is as good as his famous father and both of them embark after him and talk in a way and discover their love really never died just got buried under their youth. Cord was used to a different way of life and didn't know how to make Shannon understand while she was too young at that time to even attempt to.
His silence and the way he dealt with their daughter's death weren't in line with how she dealt with things.
I for some reason didn't enjoy it as much since I don't enjoy, strong, silent heroes where the heroine always needs to poke to open him up, sounds like too much work to me.
And these two may have been celibate but it wasn't said outright like nothing was in the book, the writing took me in circles or something.
