By Sarah M. Eden
Katie Macauley gave up her lifelong dream of returning to
Ireland in order to make a home for herself in Hope Springs, Wyoming, but her
future has never been so uncertain. Katie’s heart still remains sharply divided
between playful Tavish and steady Joseph, though she feels ill-prepared to make
a decision. Furthermore, the town is more divided than ever with both the Irish
and the Reds stealing property, burning buildings, and endangering lives. In
the midst of the growing unrest, temperatures drop quickly, too quickly, and
Irish nightmares of famine and cold resurface as the little Wyoming town
struggles to beat the harsh winter.
Katie makes one sacrifice after another to keep the peace
and help see her loved ones through the difficult days ahead, but will her
efforts be enough? Can the town make amends before their hatred consumes them
all? And will Katie find the love she has been searching for as well as a home
to call her own?
So I read it, after moaning and complaining about the first
book (which I didn’t know was a two-parter series). My favorite part of this
series was the feud and the social problems and prejudices this town faces. It
was handled well and I was all a fever to figure out how Katie was going to fix
things and help those town folk not be so idiotic toward each other. I was
about halfway through this book when I hit a night where I couldn’t stop
reading. I’d think, I’ll stop when this scene is over and I know what happens.
That happened until I was finished at 3 am, and cursing myself for not stopping
earlier. When all is said and done, I did enjoy this series, and I was glad
that Katie ended up with the guy I liked. Another solid book from Sarah Eden
(though I still like Corbin from As You Are the best.)
I give it a 3.5 out of 5
