In the past, I've been drawn to Robin Lee Hatcher's
historical books. I normally say that I
don't read much contemporary fiction, but if I analyze what I've been reading,
I would have to say I read more of it than I realized. So, when I saw this book was about a horse
ranch and a love story, I was excited to read it.
Kimberly is in Kings Meadow to start over. And I mean start over! After her husband's death, she lost
everything and is now living with her best friend. Her relationship with her teenage daughter is
strained, but there's hope when her daughter is given a horse. The problem is, the horse is a little green
and the teenager is inexperienced.
Chet's family has run this ranch for over 100 years. First it was cattle, now horses. It doesn't make tons of money, but he does
okay and he's passionate about it. When
he agrees to help train the somewhat wild horse, he ends up seeing a lot of
Kimberly. His first wife wasn't cut out
for ranch life and left, so when he hears that Kimberly has no intention of
staying in Kings Meadow, he tries to keep his distance.
These two are a little older than the characters I normally
read, but it didn't bother me much.
Anna, the adopted grandmother of the family, was a great character and I
liked reading some of her history. I'm
not normally a fan of the remarriage stories, I'm old school romantic, but this
one was well done and I enjoyed reading it.
Kings
Meadow shows up in A Promise Kept, a novel about Allison, who shows up in a
minor role in Love Without End. Next up
in this series is Whenever You Come Around and is due out spring 2015. Looks like more second chances in Kings
Meadow. The two main characters weren't
in this book, making me think it's going to be okay to read them alone, but
we'll see. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
