Shiloh has taken a job helping to try and teach Ute Indians in Colorado. Unfortunately, they don't really seem to want her there. Add to that, her childhood friend is there, but he seems to have no interest in renewing their friendship. Shiloh lost part of her heart when he rode away from her family's ranch a long time ago.
Jesse doesn't know where he belongs. His father was white and his mother was an Indian, making fitting in somewhat of a challenge. The only person that never seemed to care was Shiloh. He has to protect his heart from allowing himself to fall for her. Problem is, they keep getting thrown together and his feelings only grow.
Tensions are rising between the Ute and the whites and Jesse fears that Shiloh will be caught in the middle when it all falls apart. He's afraid that he's going to have to choose between Shiloh and the people that have finally accepted him.
I enjoyed the action in this one, but it had elements of the depressing in there as well, a little more than in a Heart Divided. I didn't have any issues getting through it, it was just that sometimes the depressing moments just seem to overwhelm the book. I liked the character of Shiloh, Jesse irritated me at times with his rude attempts to push Shiloh away. We do encounter Cord and Sarah, from book 1, but it doesn't really reveal anything from the first book. I don't think that it wouldn't matter if you read these out of order.
At this time, I couldn't find another book for this series, but I'm not sure that I want to keep going anyway. I did like this book, it just seems that overcoming a lot of adversity is a common theme for this author, and I don't like to be drowned in sorrow. Like I said, this was a pretty good book, but I'm not sure that I'll pick up anymore by this author. Good Book!
