BOOK REVIEW- Wild Secret, Wild Longing- A new story of love and danger in The Front Range Series set in Colorado 1876. A historical Western romance that will get your heart racing ...LeRoy Banks has no time for love or romance—he's busy breaking in horses at Whitcomb's ranch. But on the afternoon of his brother's wedding, a grizzly attacks the herd of horses, and though Whitcomb's ranch hands shoot him, the bear lumbers off, injured and enraged. LeRoy, the only competent tracker around, heads out into the Rockies after the bear before it kills again. But not before his ma, a Cheyenne medicine woman, gives him a warning. The mountain holds secrets, she tells him, and LeRoy must not be afraid of what he'll find. Unsettled by her puzzling words, he sets out, unaware of the dangers he is about to face—not just to his life but to his heart.
Geneviève Champlain has spent long, lonely years in isolation in the mountains, her life a trail of broken dreams, loss, and heartache. Her supplies running out, she is teetering on the edge of despair and madness as a snowstorm blows in, signaling an early winter. Her hope is failing—she knows she cannot face another winter alone. Yet she sees no way out. She can never leave her cabin and live a normal life like other women. There is no place for a tainted woman like her in frontier society. Before the storm blows in, she learns the killer grizzly is close by. She has no choice but to head out and try to kill it before it reaches her cabin. Yet when she tracks the bear, she finds something she never expected—something even more threatening than a grizzly. AMAZON
This story starts moving pretty quickly as the first few pages start. I like that. It was moving without sacrificing the reader's ability to get to know the people. I really enjoyed this story, it had great MC's and a really good cast of supporting characters. The setting of the story had some really brutal circumstances and challenges to it. To my way of thinking the man-killing grizzly was also a main character as well. It always managed to do severe damage and then kept getting away. LeRoy's ma was quite the person who got your attention and as much as LeRoy loved her, she made him kind of nervous at times. LeRoy. Wow, LeRoy, what can I say about him? I just couldn't help but like him and hope that he would have a HEA. He was tough, skilled but also had a tender heart that he hid from many. He faced prejudices of course, being half white, half Indian. Geneviève or Gennie as she is called, really had a hard life and you could really feel her hopelessness and loneliness. This story had the abillity to stir the emotions.
