Enjoy the first three stories from the award-winning Safe Havens series. *Contains adult language and sexual situations. Saving Grace (Book 1) Grace Riley is on the run—from her past and from her fears. The victim of a violent rape at the hands of a rich politician’s son, she must “disappear” to escape his constant attempts to recapture her. Moving from cattle drive to cattle drive as a cook, she avoids her tormentor for nearly twenty years. When she discovers that the brother she gave up for adoption after their mother died in childbirth was orphaned at an early age, she is frantic to verify that he’s safe. She tracks him to a cattle ranch in Montana. Widower Adam Morgan owns the Twin Springs ranch, but finds himself falling into a life of loneliness. Although he enjoys spending time with his grown daughter and the two men he rescued when they were living on the streets, he longs to meet a woman he can love. Living in the Montana territory where men greatly outnumber women makes finding a new wife difficult. Weary of working cattle, he is ready to make some changes in his life. Grace falls ill on her journey, but she manages to make it to the Twin Springs ranch where her brother is supposed to be living. Adam takes her in, concerned for her health and the reason she’s searching for one of his adopted sons. Their chemistry is immediate and intense, but can Grace heal from her past of pain and fear? When her secrets are finally revealed, can Adam forgive her deceptions and learn to love again? Runaway (Book 2) Forced to flee her abusive fiancé, Cassandra Shay’s disappearance into Montana territory is delayed when she discovers her fiancé and uncle’s plot to murder her illegitimate brother and another innocent cowboy.

After Cassie frees them, the men travel with her for her own protection. When they arrive in Montana, the locals are horrified to discover a Shay in their midst, but Ty is drawn to Cassie like no other and is determined to win her heart. Despite her strong attraction to Ty, Cassie knows she must keep her distance to protect him from the hired guns the Shays send to retrieve her. But their love will not be denied, and they must fight for justice before forging their future together. Redeemed (Book 3) Sold into prostitution, Sara Fuller robs a client and flees to her brother in White Pines, Montana.

Okay

I enjoyed meeting the people of White Plains. Book 1 Grace Riley running from Stephen Shay. Book 2 Cassandra Shay trying to get away from her grandfather and her Uncle Derrick. They are trying to force her to marry a man she do not love. Book 3 story of Sara Fuller trying to get away from her past. These books have a little bit of everything. The sex in all three book were HOT and the hero hotter.

All 3 can be read alone. But reading all of the stories tell a tale of a community of family and friends. Very heart warming stories that I highly recommend. SQ

Matt and Raquel manage to fall in love while on the train and believe they are soulmates. Raquel and Matt are seperated for two in a half years. Raquel believes Matt had died in Viet Nam and turn to her friends for support at this heart breaking time. As she is more like a parent to her mother and not the other way around and they just aren’t close. Raquel runs off to to NYC with her friends.
I liked this book a lot it was a beautiful romance even through the pain in it. I felt this could have been a shorter book. But
did feel this was well written. I really liked the author brought in duty to one's country and the Vietnam war. I did also enjoy the drama in this book. I felt like I was there with Raquel and Matt. this drag for me at times. I loved how Raquel gave Matt her medal to protect him while he was away at war. I would have liked a little less sex. I enjoyed the characters and the twists and turns of this book and I recommend it.

Couldn't finish this book. Skip read the first part. Stopped after 46 percent when I found the second book reading like the first. The only book I "finished". Was too filled with soap-opera drama. The outline of the plot was okay but bogged down with excessive sentiment. The second book was going to be more of the same, I could tell, so II went to search for more interesting fare.
