This beautiful book grabbed me from the first page and the characters were wonderful! From the beginning of HEARTBREAK CREEK (book 1 of this series), I knew Margaret/Lucindas story would be interesting. She was always so secretive about how she came to Heartbreak Creek with so much money.
I felt that Tait Rylander and Margaret/Lucinda were evenly matched as a couple. They were each independent thinkers who shouldered their responsibilities. The reader knows that Margaret/Lucinda needs to get away from her intended husband Doyle Kerrigan, but it doesnt seem possible.
Sometimes authors dont pull off actions (David Baldacci sometimes has problems with amazing feats by his main characters, for example) but Warner does a beautiful job of getting us to believe that Margaret/Lucinda could evade her wedding with oodles of security in place.
As always with a Kaki Warner series, previous characters help make the plot more interesting. Both couples from the previous 2 books are important parts of this story.
The only thing I didnt enjoy was the short-shrift given to Thomas Redstone and Prudence Lincoln. Each had suffered a great deal in the past. I was disappointed that their story was hurriedly completed in the last few pages. The solution was very unsatisfying.
Its delightful that Kaki Warner is still writing novels; in December 2012, she released the novella MIRACLE IN NEW HOPE.
