I liked this better than So Wild A Heart, the first book in the series, and certainly Richard was a better hero. The slow build to the love story was OK but not memorable and frankly, I had to go back and read my own review to remember anything about So Wild A Heart, which I read less than a month ago.

Overall I felt let down by this book. Richard was a great wounded hero but Camp just doesn't have the writing chops to tell this kind of story in a way that hits home. The hero and heroine were likeable enough but I never really cared about them or the things they've suffered. When Richard finally talks about the death of his wife and daughter, and breaks down, I felt unmoved.

I like the ideas of these characters better than what you find when you read the books. I want to read about Rachel and Michael, but I suspect I'll be just as disappointed in their story as I have been with the first two.
