When he finds the woman he loves in bed with his own father, Rafe Jerry leaves home, swearing never to return. But the terms of his fathers will force him back to deal with the family ranch, the widow who betrayed him and a new love who can free him from the hurts of the past.
Another pretty good romance set in the old west by an author I've come to like. Again, though, it's obvious that this is part of a series because there are a ton of references to characters that don't even figure at all in this story, and again, it emphasizes the gap between the development of those characters and the development of the other minor characters that DO figure into the story.
It was slightly predictable, but not enough to ruin the story for me.
'There were differences between men and women. Ignoring the differences for fear or hurt feelings would be stupid. She wasn't inferior. She was just different.'
While I could wish this quote didn't come from a romance book, it is still true.
I chose this rating because this book was very well written, besides being a mystery it was a great love story. I love the way you weave your characters into the story.
Fortunately, the back-of-book blurb was misleading and the heroine was NOT the woman the hero found in bed with his father ten years ago. Rather, she was her sister...
Out of the whole series so far of the Night Riders. This was my favorite. I love how in the earlier series how Rafe was so quiet. His and Maria story was awesome. I totally disliked Dolres from the begining. You got to hear about Laverie.Ibcan't wait till I read Broc's book next I just love him... :-)
