Publisher's summary

HER HEART SEEKS SAFETY, BUT WILL TROUBLE FIND HER EVEN HERE?

After her sister’s marriage, Michelle Stiles is left hiding at Two Harts Ranch with the handsome but stubborn Zane Hart. She’s managed to stay one step ahead of her stepfather and his devious plans, but if he finds her, she will no longer be safe.

Zane has problems of his own. Having discovered a gold mine on his property, he must figure out how to harvest it without kicking off a gold rush. Michelle, educated and trained to run her father’s business, wants to manage all aspects of the mine, but Zane thinks
for a person so smart she can have some misguided ideas. Running the mining operation will be a dangerous job, and he can’t risk putting her in harm’s way.

But danger finds Michelle anyway when she’s suddenly attacked. If they go to the sheriff, they’ll reveal her location, but if they do nothing … their troubles have only just begun.

Good second book

For the most part, I like this series. They’re different enough for entertainment and it take place where I live! But I have a real hard time with the intonation of the narrator.  When she emotes she’s fine, but most the time she talks like she’s a robot. In fact, there are times I thought this might be an AI narration.. I felt the same way on the first book but I want to know what happens to the story enough where I will buy all three.

The story felt rushed

I’ve read several novels by Mary Connealy. This one seemed rushed and sketchy. Still a good story. Good narration.

Christian Historical Romance

Another powerful book about three exceedingly brilliant sisters, the men who love them, and God alone, who truly saves them.
This book is filled with horrible men and dastardly deeds, yet God is the only One truly in control!
The narration was superb.
