EXCELLENT - DEFINITELY A KEEPER

Rayna Ludgrin is battling with grief - the lose of her husband, Kol after 15 years of marriage. Now she has 2 sons, Kirk, 14 and Hans, 7 years old, to look after and a farm to manage. Imagine her shock to learn from Clay Dayton that he wants her farm and her, even though he is married. Rayna has two friends who have seen her through the years since they were six, Betsey, who is now single and Mariah who had married a man because he needed a wife and mother for his children and she found love. Daniel Lindsay was the first neighbor to come and offer to help get in their wheat crop. Dang! but the storm came out of nowhere. He made an offer for the farm and that is how Rayna found out how far in debt the property was mortgaged. And just how greedy Clayton was. Kirk seemed to be of the opinion that he could support his mother and brother. Daniel had had experience in the ways of the world and how youngsters were worked. He wanted to save Rayna and her sons. Rayna just couldn't love again after Kol, he was the love of her life. But she could marry to give her sons security and she would be good to Daniel. Until she learned his secrets and then found it was impossible not to love him. Yet she tried not to. What a beautiful love story! You just had to fall in love with these two characters. This story has more substance than most of the ones that dwell on the bedroom. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- Definitely a Keeper.

A sweet and endearing story!

From the back cover: Man and wife facing the rigors of high country ranching. That was the simple, solid ideal that Daniel Lindsay willingly offered Rayna Ludgrin. But she'd lived a grand passion, he knew, and he could promise only a quiet, steady brand of love...! Her soul raw with a new widow's grief, Rayna Ludgrin vowed she'd never feel love again. Still, life under the wide Montana sky was hard for a woman alone - and she pledged herself to Daniel Lindsay out of a desperate need to save her sons and her ranch. But though she'd taken him into her home as husband, could she ever welcome him into her heart? - - This is such a touching story. It really pulls at the heartstrings. The character development I thought was so believeable. I also felt that the book was written in real time instead of rushing through situations. Rayna was such a woman of strong character. Her first love, whom she had been married to for 15 years, died suddenly from working in a field on too hot of day. She is trying to make it by doing the work herself along with her two young sons. Lots of neighbors came to offer to buy the land cheap or marriage but no help really. Until Daniel Lindsey shows up and begins to help. He is so kind and gentle toward her and her sons. She knows he is a good man but her heart feels like it is betraying her first husband. They have many things to go through but they don't have to do it alone. I highly recommend this book if you like sweet and endearing characters. It really pulled at my heart strings. It is a keeper for my book shelf.
