Wyoming Wildflowers -- Fireweed

When fire ravages Wyoming land, fireweed is among the first plants to return, brightening the blighted area with the joy of its blooms. Small-town lawyer Taylor Anne Larsen faces the challenge of doing the same for the pain-ravaged heart and disbelieving soul of ranch foreman Cal Ruskoff. Armed with the same grace and grit as the wildflower fireweed, Taylor also has allies – a matchmaking friend, the Wyoming winter, high-octane mutual attraction, and a rescued puppy who slips past Cal's defenses.

Cal might give in to passion temporarily, but from behind the wall he's built around his past and his secrets, he's certain Taylor is all that he can't let himself have. And he'll use all his weapons to keep her out.

"These characters -- their dialogue, their fears, their complex personalities -- are very real. As a reader, I couldn't help fall under Cal's spell -- a good, troubled, mixed-up man who forces Taylor to confront some of her own demons, even as he refuses to face his own . . . There's a lot of subtle -- and not so subtle -- humor here, the love scenes are at once tender and sizzling, and the emotions and fears of both characters wrap themselves around the reader's heart and don't let go." – Karen Templeton, review.

MY REVIEW:

This is a wonderfully encompassing second book in the series yet it is a story I feel that could stand alone. Cal & Taylor are two very strong characters that fall deeply in love I feel at first sight but both have issues from their past that they need to overcome, Cal especially. He has a dark & mysterious past that gets slowly revealed to Taylor being when they are trapped in a snow storm. Take this wild ride with them you will not be disappointed at all. The extra characters in this book only adds to the humor of the close friendships & community atmosphere you get from this series.
