You sure have to enjoy a heroine like Cassandra. I know you are asking what she is like. Well, read my review below and you will find out:)

Seriously, I have never read about a heroine like Cassandra. You read about a heroine who likes to fly planes, rides horses, shoot guns or even be a sheriff. But hot air balloons? Definitely a different kind of woman:) But then again, Laurie Eakes knows how to write a heroine that intrigues you. And don't forget the hero! Not by any means should you forget Geoffrey! He is somewhat of a boring person at first. A man who is interested in Cassandra but doesn't want her interested in her balloons.

Cassandra at times really irritated me as a heroine. There were certain parts I wanted to slap her. But at times I really understood where she was coming from. There are a couple parts that were close to being overboard for me as far as sensuality but I think Laurie did a good job being discreet. Cassandra and Geoffrey almost take things too far and you find out there is history with Geoffrey not being upright. But God's forgiveness and grace is well portrayed as well.

Overall a good novel. This is the second in the series and it could be read as a stand alone novel but would be better read in order. Can't wait to read Honore's story next!
