Summary: Good, but not as good as the others in the series
Comment: I really enjoy Lowell. She's one of my favorites. Somehow in my reading, I'd overlooked this latest book in the series. Don't know how! I expected something as wonderful as ONLY YOU, Reno and Eve's story. This book had all the makings to satisfy that urge. The opening pages were wonderful and I liked the characters. Then a funny thing happened--I stopped understanding them. Whip, despite the fact he cared about Shannon in a way he'd never cared about anyone, knew he couldn't stay because he was a yondering man. What??? That's his only reason for leaving. He wasn't sure he could hack staying in one place? Lowell tried to give a reason why he thought remaining in Colorado will kill his soul, but I wasn't buying it. Shannon also didn't make any sense. Why on earth would you stay in a cabin where you might easily starve or freeze to death over the winter, or if you weren't, be raped by the odious Culpepper brothers? Why not go to the nearest town and find some job? I never understand these characters who are willing to risk death to prove a minor point. It wasn't like she loved this cabin or had anything truly sentimental to hold her there. Whip said leave, so she said no. That was their conflict. If you can swallow all that and keep reading, the writing is beautiful, as usual. The emotions were poignant and touching. The story is vivid, and Lowell even like this is still better than a whole bunch of the romances out there. It's worth a read, especially if you don't expect the sizzling conflict of ONLY YOU.

Summary: Best Romance Novel I've Ever Read!!!
Comment: This book was stunningly good, not only the best in the series, not only the best by Elizabeth Lowell, but the best romance I've ever read.
The conflict in this was so much more than you'll find in other romances - not the silly misunderstandings that are cleared up as soon as the man catches up with the woman, not the man's refusal to admit he loves a woman, but a real conflict about a man who's driven with a restless spirit that's so much a part of him he can't give it up. The human drama of the hero's struggle is portrayed so well you feel it all the way to your bones.
Commonly, one is tempted to feel contemptuous of the hero's hardheardedness or plain stupidity. However, in this book, the hero is entirely sympathetic, the conflicts spelled out, both characters understanding what they feel and what they need and how to reconcile the two.
There's a scene in a cave near the end that is absolutely cinematic in its timing, drama, and visuals that it conjures up. I was amazed. After I read this book, I sat for a full five minutes just contemplating what I'd just read, and how good it was. I am not a gusher, but this novel is the pick of the litter, immensely sophisticated and satifsying. Thanks ,Elizabeth Lowell!

Summary: What a waste!
Comment: The hero and heroine were wonderful, believable and enjoyable. Their interaction and dialogue was great. Unfortunately the plot was too hilly billy and boring. Less rocky mountain stuff and more family interaction with Whip's siblings would have made this a wonderful book for me. This would NEVER be in the top 20 of my favorite books. Sorry.
