I feel the need to repeat a little about book 1 before I review book 2 of this series. I am anticipating at least 5 books before this series is over and I wish I had them all at hand right now! This is such a fun saga.
In book 1, Greta accepted a request from Colorado for a mail order bride hoping the climate would be better for her little sister with consumption. When she arrived, however the prospective groom was missing. A fellow traveler who lived in the same town, arranged for Greta to marry Wyatt, a struggling local rancher.
Wyatt had left a bad situation back at his family farm in the East to try and find a new situation for his mother and younger siblings.
Meanwhile, (Book 2), Flynn, his next younger brother was left holding the bag on the family farm with an abusive stepfather and an ailing mother and all his other siblings to take care of.. His mother died and his stepfather kicked them off of the family farm that had been in their family for several generations. The Civil war was heating up and one of his brothers snuck off and joined the Union Army. Flynn took the other two siblings and headed to Colorado driving some cattle Wyatt had bought. He met up with Linnea and her grandfather when he saved Linnea from drowning during a river crossing. Linnea's grandfather and herself and the other botanists who made up their expedition started traveling in the same group with Flynn just for protection from outlaws and Indians and other perils of the trail.
Book 1 was wonderful and exciting. Book 2 was even more intrigue and action. Book 3 should be a dandy along with hopefully a 4 and a 5 if there is one for each sibling. You need to read these two and put Jody Hedlund on your favorite authors list so you can keep aware of when the next book in the series will be available..
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
