Wild Hearts

Castle View #1

by Lynn Collins, Lynn Cahoon

A Fresh Start -
Abigail Johnson just nabbed her dream job, running Castle View’s Big Cat Sanctuary. However, after she moves with her daughter from Seattle back to her hometown, Mark Castle drops the bombshell. The sanctuary is on life support and she shouldn’t even unpack.
Feeling torn –
Mark has one chance to save the family business on the verge of bankruptcy. And no one can deny, the tiger sanctuary is dripping in red ink. Closing it is the responsible thing to do. At least financially.
One final shot –
The sanctuary’s existence hinges on winning one of the most prestigious grants in the zoo world, The Wildlife Conservation Society –Hagenbeck Grant. Can Mark wait for Abigail to save the sanctuary or will the bank and the other Castle kids push him to sell off the one place the cats call home.

I found this book quite endearing and enjoyed it a lot. The characters and storyline were believable. I enjoyed the back and forth friction/passion between the main characters, Abigail and Mark. The supporting characters helped to round out the story. And the tigers!! A tiger sanctuary in Idaho that needs saving-- can Abigail save it?? Will she be able to find love with her high school sweetheart, or will she be raising her daughter alone? I'm so glad that I read this book. :)

Wild hearts, caring hearts

An interesting story underpinned with a love of animals who are part of our greater creation. The clean family story indicates what family life ought to be, loving each other without an agenda. Extending love to those less fortunate. A recommended good read, filled with tearjerking moments (cats protecting humans) and true love Sandy, Maggie and their children.

Good read

Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it took awhile for nnetoget engaged with the characters. Enjoyed it a lot as I got into the characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Fun book, though some continuity problems brought me up short a time or five.
Mark and Abbie are likeable characters, though, again, Abbie seemed to go “backwards” quite often.

I am looking forward to reading Maggie and Josh’s story in the next in the Castle View series, “Roadside Attraction.”

Loved this book! Have moved onto book 2 in this series. I can’t wait to see what happens to all of the castle family!

Cute story but the ending was wrapped up too fast. The reader is left questioning what Brad wants to hide... why does he want the Tigers sold off so fast. Mark appears at first as a numbers only guy, but we are given little glimpses of his crush on Abigail while they both attended the same schools. I like the book... but too many questions were left unanswered.
