This was a reprint of original I wanted to reread. It has held up and was again a good read.
We all could use a WARRIOR like the hero is this book.
Great romance! Takes place in the Colorado Rockies. Wildlife bilogist Eden Summers arrives in the Rockies to continue her research on local cougar population and meets Nevada Blackthorn who she pulled injured and bleeding to safety in the middle of a storm. He is a rancher by trade and a warrior by nature.
Good story, great characters.
I Love this book. It is part of a four book series by Lowell. Each one was great and different. They are modern western romance.
Good book, quick read-not a strong story line other than the couple.
From back cover--
When wildlife biologist Eden Summers arrives in the Colorado Rockies, she has only one thing on her mind: to continue her research on the local cougar population. A capable woman, used to living and working alone in the wild, she is self-possessed and confident, able to handle any threat from nature's fiercest predators-until she gazes into the eyes of Nevada Blackthorn.
She pulled him, injured and bleeding, to safety in the middle of a storm, unleashing a man who wold invade her deepest dreasm. But NEvada-a rancher by trade, a warrior by nature-is a man who has learned that walking away from caring is the only key to survival...and that only the strongest survive. Any woman fool enough to try and change him will be hurt-badly-for her efforts.
Perhaps Eden is that kind of fool. Or perhaps she has no choice byt to follow a calling as fierce, as wild and as natural as the beating of her own heart...

Tightly drawn characters set in mountains of Colorado; a wildlife biologist and an ex-commando meet and find common ground in their understanding of animal behavior. The ex-commando is a wounded warrior who protects himself from hurt much as an injured animal would. The biologist is accepting and loves him anyway.
Wonderful writing about the outdoors and the people who understand the environment.

Quick Read. Good story line. Enjoyed
This is the last book in this Mackenzie Family series by Elizabeth Lowell. I liked every book in this series.
