Journey to Quiet Waters

Hargrave #2

by William Lavender

He'd run from river haunts to prairie trails, chasing phantoms across a wide continent, searching for the father he never knew. But the dream was still strong and the women always there - to tempt him, to teach him, to ease his heart... Arabella, the teasing Southern belle who bore Lucius a son... Catherine, the woman on the wagon train, strong, majestic. Adored by his brother Isaac, she would have to make a fateful choice. And Dolores, the flawless Spanish beauty, offering Lucius a new love on the golden California cost. Lucius would meet them all, touch them all on his Journey to Quiet Waters.

Reviews

[Luckngrace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Second in a trilogy, I felt deprived not having read the first. The story was interesting, but the protagonist hadn't much to recommend him and I found him unlikeable. If I ever find access to the other two books in the set, I'll be able to give a balanced report.
