Bardville Trilogy

Good positive romance set in Wyoming. As I finished one book of the series couldn’t wait to get next book! Love this writer’s style and that she carries characters through the trilogy. Doesn’t leave you wondering what happened to the individuals. Well formed personalities makes you feel that you know them as friends in your community.

This story was like a warm blanket on a cold night. Smooth, easy pace with likable characters, and a somewhat believable story. Nice, romantic read of what most women might want in a man and vice versa - Trust, Honour, Hardworking, Sensible, Useful, Open...I can go on and on...just read the book :)

Damn thing made me cry

Ok. Tearful. No great sobs. I have some restraint. Yet this book about growing as people and set examples for your kids really hit home with me.

Great story.

Loved this book as well as the first two in the Bardville, Wyoming Trilogy!

I loved the ups and downs of all three books. These stories gave the readers the reasons why things can go up and down and still have a happy ending. In book three, it shows how important a childhood is in forming how that child will be when they grow up.

Happy Endings

This was a slow read for me, but I think that had more to do with my frame of mind than the story. I did thoroughly enjoy this book. The best of the trilogy was definitely the first, though.

This is my favourite outbid the trilogy, the story is good, lots of self discovery it's nice to see characters grow, but what I truly loved about this book is the descriptions of the mountains, the whole setting, I could visualise everything, really was a wonderful read
