Heart of Mine

Colorado Hearts #3

by Caroline Fyffe

USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe makes love the grandest adventure on the frontier for the resistant darling of Eden, Colorado.

Emma Brinkman is the most eligible bachelorette in town and staying that way. After learning twice that romance is a lie, she's focused only on making the mine she and her sisters inherited a booming success. To do that, she'll need to put her trust in a notorious scoundrel. But no matter how flirtatious, handsome, or persistent he may be, Emma is interested only in his expertise in coaxing gold from the earth.

The illegitimate son of a duke, Beranger North is a reputed playboy and a self-made man who found his fortune excavating the rich and profitable American West. He's always looking for a good prospect, and Beranger sees the potential in Eden, Colorado, and in mining the affections of his fetching, if wary, new business partner.

All he has to do is convince Emma to take one more chance on love—on him. Against all odds, they could both strike it rich, if only in matters of the heart.

3.5/5.0
Another wonderful trip into good 'ol western romance! Ms. Fyffe is quickly becoming my go-to author anytime I want a sweet, clean but highly entertaining historical!

In this installment of the Colorado Hearts series, we follow Emma (the sister who manages the general store in Eden) as she travels to find, sell and purchase more clothing etc. and to accompany an orphan to her new home. Along the way she meets Baranger North, an illegitimate son of an English Duke and a very successful, self-made man in America.

I did have a hard time with Emma's character throughout the book. She was extremely judgemental and bordered on just plain nasty to Beranger - all because of gossip she heard. Because of this, I was never able to connect with her in a way that made me really feel she deserved the wonderful man that Beranger had made himself into. As the story progressed, she did soften but even then, she never let him know. Until, of course, there was no other choice.

I also felt there was a bit too much time taken up with the other sister's - especially Mavis's - storylines. I would have preferred more time given to actually watching the relationship with Emma and North evolve while the sisters stayed secondary with just hints until their books came about. (Although I cannot WAIT to read Katie's story!!!)

Still, the overall story was delightful to read. The writing flows beautifully and ends in a very sigh-worthy way. So, for entertainment value alone, we’ll round up to a 4 star read for me..

What a lovely addition to a lovely series as Ms. Fyffee takes us on a journey of secrets, loss, love, but mostly of family and beginnings. Five sister go back where it all started many years ago to a home they have long forgot where they must stay six months to get their inherit. They will find many things and lose a few along the way but they will begin again and find the love they never thought they would find. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and couldn’t wait to see what was in store for Emma and see how the others sisters were doing. What follows is a story as only Ms. Fyffee can deliver with Emma returning a child to the orphanage and getting on a stagecoach on her way back to Eden where she meets up with the dashing Mr. North on board. She isn’t too crazy about him, their last meeting didn’t go so well but he truly is one find looking man. Beranger is taken with her as well, as they get closer a friendship comes forth.

We learn the background on both why Mr. North left his home and why Emma is put off on men, love just isn’t for her. Here we learn of some secrets and just what the sisters will do to set it right if they can. The budding friendship of Emma and Beranger as they grow closer, it really is a very touching story that brought many smiles to my face. I was taken away as the author painted a picture I got lost in. I really liked how these two characters bought the best out in each other, how they made each other shine as well as how their relationship grew. The buildup of the romance is delightful, the scenes breath taking, it truly is a great story with a wonderful plot that takes over you mind and relaxes you. I really enjoyed the surprises that the author gives and all the twists and turns that come with it. I enjoyed it so much I bought the audio and can’t wait to relive it all again. If you buy the book you get the audio at a good price truly is a win, win all the way. If you are looking for a touching story that has a little bit of everything in it as well a plot twisted around surprise and secrets this is the book for you.

How to trust when you have only been let down? Emma and her sisters inherited from their father a farm, mine and they all run several businesses in Eden, Colorado. Emma runs the General Store and has been hurt in the past and just does not trust love. But when the family hires Beranger to be their mine foreman, things might change.
Beranger had come from England to the American west to make his fortune and through his work became very successful. He has really been unsettled though and when he meets Emma, his thoughts go to settling down in Eden. But there are some things going on around town that could change everything and hurt those he cares about. Can he convince Eden his feelings are real and she has his heart?
Just as everything starts to settle down, the past comes back to haunt him and everything could change in a heartbeat. Can these two find there happy ever after?
Loved this story and will go back and read the others in this series. It grabbed me from page one until the very end.

I have really always enjoyed Caroline's books (Montana Dawn being my first and favorite).
Although I have enjoyed this series I have not felt the chemistry between the H&h that was in here earlier books.
This story was about too many couples at once. It was hard to tell which were the main characters. There was not enough time spent between Baringer and Emma to develop any sense of any kind of loving feelings between them.
This book was very frustrating and disappointing to me. I almost quit it several times and that is something I rarely do.
It's like the author was rushing to get the book out and was just throwing any kind of filler in to make it long enough.
I hate doing bad reviews (especially for authors I like and follow) but I'm disappointed so here it is.

Thank you for your review.

Clean romance

Emma was a very strong and willful young lady. I had problems with how angry she was when it came to her interaction with Beranger at the beginning. Emma did grow on me. She ran her own business in a frontier town so she needed to be strong and she didn't show her softer side much. When she and Berranger finally got together they worked. This is the third book in the series and I think it is the best in the series. I enjoyed this book and can't say enough about it.

What a sweet wonderful addition to this series but the ending was bittersweet! Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but keep a hanky close! Can't wait to hear more from Eden!!! Great read!

Love

Heart of Mine is a wonderful book about falling in love and getting out of our own way. This is the third book in the series bit will stand alone if you haven't read those first but you will want to read them. I can't wait until the next in the series.

Excellent

This is the third book in the Colorado Hearts series by Caroline Fyffe. I enjoyed Heart Of Mine as it kept me completely engaged. It is the story of Emma one of the five sisters which inherited a ranch a various businesses from their father which they had been taken away from in their infancy and had never been back to Eden until the reading of their fathers will. Emma thought she would never fall in love until she met Beringer North in Santa Fe where she had traveled with her sister and bother in law to deliver and orphan girl to her new family and meet with Beringer to run the family mine.

Beringer had quite the reputation for knowing how to run mines. He had left England at the age of thirteen to get away from his step mother and father which was a duke. He was always led to believe that he was illegitimate and he was not worthy even though his father took him in after the death of his mother.
Beringer swore he would have Emma if only he could make her believe that she could have love.
Heart of mine is clean read and has a great ending that is somewhat surprising.

What a wonderful story!

I love the characters in this book...Not just the five sisters, but all of their supporting cast, the people of the town of Eden, Colorado.

Let me tell you a little about this series first...

This series is about five sisters who inherit a ranch in Colorado from their father. (You'll have to read book 1 - Heart of Eden to find out how all of that happens) Each book tells a little more about the sisters contribution to the economy of the town while it high lights one particular sister and her pursuit for happiness.

This book is the third book in the series and it high lights, Emma. Emma travels with her sister, Belle and her husband, Blake along with Brenda, a little orphan girl, to Santa Fe. They are delivering Brenda to the orphanage to meet her forever parents and to interview a man they hope will agree to come and evaluate a mine on their property. Emma accompanies them with the excuse that she wants to see all the latest styles the larger city has to offer so she can bring ideas back to her dress  shop in Eden.

I love the way the five sisters interact with one another. I think the dynamics of the Brinkman family are very well thought out by the author. She really knows how they think and feel and how they would act in any given situation.

The plot is solid, it moves the story along at a steady pace. There is conflict between the sisters, problems in the town, and plenty of conflict between Emma and her love interest, Beranger.

It's got everything I like in novel and I can't wait for the next book in the series. I hope it is Mavis and Clint's happily ever after.

This book could be read alone and the reader would feel like they got a good, complete story. You wouldn't be lost and feel like missed something. The author has done a fantastic job of including all of the pertinent information into this story. But....if you love the book as much as I did you'll want to know how all of this came about and want to read the other two books first. I'll include a link to all three books after this review.

If you like the 1870 time period and like a good romance, I think you'll enjoy this book. If you pick up a copy let me know what you thought of it.

Another five star read from Caroline Fyffe.  For me she's three for three in the Colorado Hearts series.  Heart of Mine , the third book in the series, sucked me in immediately.  I was back with the Brinkman sisters in Eden, Colorado, watching them go about their business in the businesses they own that they inherited from their father, and making their mark once again.  This is Emma's story and though she doesn't believe in love and plans to never marry she still gets sucked in by Beranger, an Englishman now living in the United States, who will help them get their mine going.  Watching their interactions were sometimes funny and sometimes sad, especially when they both didn't express their feelings very well, if at all.  They shared a bond as friends or is it more?  I love how Beranger, a loner, opened up to Emma and confided in her telling her things she hadn't told anyone else.

The story is placed in one of my favorite historical settings - the settling of the West. This story is filled with family and friends and you could feel the love they have for each other.  Set in Santa Fe and Colorado in the late 1800's I could feel the  affection others have for them as well - Belle's husband, Blake and Lavinia's intended, Rhett, along with the sheriff, Clint and his son and many others.  As we travel to New Mexico and then back to Colorado, the descriptions were vivid and I felt that I was there.  There were many different story lines that twisted and turned but seamlessly came together.  I loved how we were given reminders of what's taken place in the previous books in case you haven't read them yet.  The story flowed smoothly and the characters had a depth to them  as we get to know them better through their thoughts and actions.  There are some surprises along the way but nice closure even though there are other stories to tell.  There were also several happily ever afters that I can't wait to see play out in the future.

Fyffe has become one of my go to authors of Western historicals.  She weaves emotional tales that have characters I want to spend more time with.  I can't wait to see what she pens next.

The Heart wants what it wants...
This book had me turning page after page, so make sure you plan to read this book on a day you have nothing to do, because you are not going to want to put it down. This book leaves you wanting in a good way, leaves you begging for more and wishing it had never ended. This is the third book in the Colorado of Hearts series, so if you haven’t had a chance to read the first two, I highly recommend them too. This book is about Emma Brinkman and Beranger story, but on top of that you get to see into the life of the towns people of Eden, Colorado and all of Emma's colorful sisters’ lives. This book is not just about two main characters on a quest to find love but a journey to discovering who they truly are themselves. I love the fact that the story bounced around to other people, it was so well intertwined into a whole community of people it had me wanting to know each person individual story line and what would happen to them. This book is sweet and heartwarming with a bit of mystery and frustration all mixed into together. Carolina Fyffe made Eden a place we all wished we lived in. Emma is a bright young woman who thinks she has it all figured out only to crush right into one of cupid’s arrows and have the audacity to lie about not only to herself but everyone around her. Beranger is a man on a mission to forget his hunting past and just focus on putting on feet in front of the other. However, he not blinded he knows a good thing when it put in front of him and he has no plans on letting it get away.
This was a great day read for me. I hated to see the book end and I can’t wait for the fourth installment of this series. This is definitely one of the best I read this year hands down. Amazing well written book. And had a beautiful simply captivating book cover. Highly recommend and well worth the read. Happy reading everyone and I hope you love it as much as I did.
I received this book as an ARC and reviewed it soul based on my opinion and the review was given voluntarily.

The feels in this book y'all! So many! I was hooked from page one and it kept me excited to the last page. These sisters and the community have really captured my heart. I love the stories inside the story, how everything entertwined so beautifully. The feelings are so raw, so real I was enthralled by the words. Caroline Fyffe has such a wonderful gift!

Each sister has her struggles and Emma is no exception. She doesn't believe in love. Or rather love standing the test of time. She believes it fickle. After hearing about her loves getting married she refuses to feel that heartbreak again. And she will do everything in her power to prove herself right.

Beranger has been restless since arriving from England years ago. But after seeing Emma he may be feeling like settling down. Especially since he's going to be their mine foreman. After spending time with her on the stage he grows fond of her even more, and he hopes she feels the same.

There is no place like Eden, and no place like home. But Emma feels unlike herself. She has gotten used to Beranger and misses him. But that's not love, that's friendship isn't it? After a long night under the stars with him in his arms, and in his words a proper kiss, things begin to change.

The town is as beautiful as Emma said. And just as friendly. But some seedy things are going on that threaten everyone Beranger has come to care about. Will he be able to help bring peace back to town and calm his heart? Emma has grown to be everything to him. Can he make her believe his love will never end?

Just as Emma is ready to proclaim her love, his past comes calling with news that could change his life forever. And hers as well. Will she profess her love or will she be proven right, that love always leaves? Will Beranger take what is his and leave Emma or will love finally prove itself steadfast?
Can't wait for the next one!!

We are back in Eden, Colorado to visit with the Brinkman sisters to see what new adventures they are getting into. Heart of Mine is book 3 in this series and it definitely continues in line with the wonderful stories of the first two books. The plot pulls you in as you open the book on page 1 and keeps you drawn in until the last page. I already knew Emma Brinkman from the first two books and loved her character. As part of the inheritance from their father the girls have different businesses in town, one being a mineral mine. The family hires Beranger North an expert in all things concerning mines to help see if the mine is going to be worth opening and mining. While the family thinks Beranger would be a good fit for Emma, she has vowed to never fall in love.

This author has such a talent putting together a story with characters that pull you in right at the beginning of the story, where you can’t help but laugh, cry and cheer when things come together. These sisters are all very strong women, are loyal to each other and never give up no matter what situation comes their way. I felt like I was visiting old friends and meeting new ones on this visit back to Eden. I loved Beranger’s character and my heart hurt at the things that had happened to him in his early life but he didn’t let it beat him. He found a way to make something good with his life.

I definitely love stories that are beautifully wrapped around families and the strength that comes from a strong, loving family. The Brinkman sisters never let anything get in the way of what they want to make happen. Heart of Mine has a strong plot with great characters, a bit of fun and laughter, a sexy hero and it all comes together quite nicely in the end. Another hit for this author. I can’t wait for the next story for this family. I received an ARC from Netgally for an honest review.

Emma Brinkman is one of five Brinkman sisters who settled in Eden, Colorado, following the death of their father. She has given up on love and is cynical about the possibility of true love. Even though her sisters have found love, some have been hurt and she chooses not to open her heart to the possibility of heartache. Then she travels to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and meets Beranger North, a notorious womanizer, or so she has been told. As she gets to know Beranger better on their return trip to Eden, she realizes he is not the man she had once thought. He was more but she still wasn't sure it was worth the risk to her heart.

Beranger was the illegitimate son of a duke from England. He had run away to America to get away from a stepmother who was determined to send him away. Beranger had one green eye and one blue eye that she was convinced showed he was cursed. Once in America, Beranger became a mining expert and the five Brinkman sisters wanted his expertise to help develop the mine on their property.

He was captivated by Emma but moved slowly as to not scare her off. Was it possible that he could win her heart or did he want to open himself up to the pain of a broken heart?

This was another wonderful book by Caroline Fyffe. She is a fabulous author who writes sweet and clean romance. This series comes with a bit of suspense and further development of the story of the Brinkman sisters. I look forward to more so I can find out of Mavis and Katie find true love in Eden.

I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.

3-1/2 stars
The book immediately did grab my attention and interest but almost half way into the book I was getting distracted from the main story line by all the other characters and subplots. This is the first book in this series that I have read. Although I didn’t know the history of what had been happening in the previous two books, everything was explained enough that I would call this a stand alone book. That being said, this series is more like a Western Family Saga in my opinion. It seemed like at least 50% of the book was from the POV of other characters than the main two of this book. So there were a lot of other stories going on and it did not exclusively focus on Emma and Beranger’s romance. Plus a lot of the scenes and action that I was interested in and wanted to read about ended up taking place off page as the timeline jumps a day or a week or couple of weeks ahead. The book really puts you in the middle of this little western community Colorado and involved in everyone’s life. It’s not my cup of tea but if it’s yours then I would start with the first of the series and go from there. I found the book to be well written and organized well for all the action and characters that were in the story.

This is the third book in Colorado Hearts series and in this reviewer’s honest opinion the best book yet not only in this series but of all the stories I have read by this author and I have loved each and everyone of them. Honestly Ms. Fyffe has really reached a new beautiful level of writing. This story moved me in ways I can’t really even explain but it will have you laughing, thinking what the heck, being scared for the heroine and crying happy tears at the end. I felt so much emotion in this story and believe that is just one of the reasons this story is her best. I was cheering I think more for the hero than the heroine to win his hand as she didn’t make it easy for him at all.
You will be surprised on many levels in this story. I can usually figure out who the villain is, how things will turn out but now this one had such unexpected surprises this reviewer didn’t see coming at all.
I highly recommend this story and it you haven’t read the stories in the Colorado Hearts series do yourself a favor and read them. I can guarantee you will love them all.
If fact you should read all of Ms. Fyffe’s stories. You won’t be sorry in the least.

I was given an advance copy of this story by Montlake Publishing. This is my very honest review.

[Donna Rutledge · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book and this series. It's about five sisters who moved west to hear their dad's will. They were tricked by the very people who were supposed to look after them and robbed by then as well. n After coming west they find out that their dad really loved each and every one of them.

Emma went with her sister Belle, her brother-in-law Blake, and an orphan, Brenda to Santa Fe. They were delivering Brenda to her new family then they were getting a mining specialist Beranger to start on their mine. While shopping Emma overhears that Beranger is not a good man. She hears that he is a womanizer. She already doesn't believe in love and after hearing the gossip she wants nothing to do with that womanizer.

Beranger is a man who doesn't have to chase women. He doesn't have to do anything for women to fall in love with him even if he never encouraged them. He was evicted from his home in England so he made himself into a rich man by working hard. He has never thought about settling down until he met Emma but she doesn't believe in love. She wants nothing to do with him until they spend three days on a stagecoach.

Heart of Mine: Colorado Heart Book 3 is by Caroline Fiffe. This is the last of the three books and I do wish they could go on. I think there are some loose ends left to continue the books with. Caroline is a wonderful writer and really brings this era to life with her descriptions.
Bereanger North is the son of William Northcott, Duke of Brightshire in England. Unfortunately, he is illegitimate and his younger brother is the heir. Uhen is own mother died, his father bought Beranger into the house and brought him up alongside his younger legitimate son. However, his stepmother didn’t like him and was very rude to him. As soon as he was able, he left home and came to America to make his own fortune. Here he met the Brinkmans and decided to settle down in Eden.
However, things are not calm with the girls. Someone is buying up all the buildings in town and someone is harvesting all the trees in the national park next to their ranch. Who is doing this and why? The girls are in trouble. Can their guys get them out of it or must they do it themselves¬¬?

Five Sisters

The third and final book in the Colorado Hearts series, I anticipated closure for the three sisters yet unmarried. Although I was surprised, I didn’t feel disappointed. The story centers around Emma, and the development of the mine the women had inherited. It moves along at a steady pace. I like the characters and I related to their anger and hurt caused by unscrupulous men.

One of my favorite things is the letter their late father wrote to them before he died. Each was given their own letter on their birthday, and each was bittersweet.

I personally like more details in events rather than quick resolution. The book doesn’t have much in the way of external crises, but explored more how the characters were feeling and responding to events. In my opinion that’s the strength of the story. That and the love between the five sisters.

Heart of Mine is the third book in the Colorado Hearts series. This series is based on the five Brinkman sisters who travel back home to Eden Colorado after being estranged from their father to take over his legacy after his death. They are given the ultimatum to inherit all that is his in Eden Colorado if they stay for six months.

The series centers on one sister in each book, how she adjusts to her new home, takes over a business, and discovers love. This book is about Emma Brinkman who has lost at love and almost gives up believing that she will ever find a man who will love her again.

When Emma meets a new man who has come to work her father’s mine she is drawn to him and he to her. What she doesn’t realize is that he is not who he says he is and his secrets could affect not only him but Emma too if she dares to fall for him.

This is an enjoyable series that continues in Book 4.

Five sisters inherited a large ranch and several businesses in Eden, Colorado. They had lived a life of poverty in the East assuming their father didn’t want them. Each book in this series is an adventure with twists, turns and romance tossed in the midst of these young women. Emma had one of the businesses in town, lived on the ranch with her siblings and wondered if love would come into her life. Would she find someone special as she traveled to Santa Fe on mining business; would this man Berenger, the mine expert, be a rake or honorable; could she trust any man to not break her heart? These questions are the story-line and I loved it. I will say that I was totally astounded by the ending of the book. It’s a wonderful read.

The third book in this series is considerably better than the second.  Emma Brinkman, one of the 5 Brinkman sisters of Eden, Colorado, is not interested in anything but being a successful businesswoman.  In an effort to open the mine their father had claimed many years before, the Brinkman family found Beranger North, the illegitimate son of a duke.  He is a self-made man and an expert in mining.

It looks like there will be at least one more book in this series because Mavis and Katie are still single.  There was more going on in this story, which made it seem to move faster than book 2.

Emma's story is one of learning how to trust. It doesn't come easily to her and I could relate to that. Beranger's past has been difficult but he has risen above it to accomplish so much. The chemistry between the two is fun to observe. I also adore watching the Brinkman sisters together and how they overcome hard things. I did think there were a few too many side plots going on at once in this story though. The ending was well worth the wait. Berenger is simply perfect for Emma handles her fears beautifully. I can't wait to see which sister gets her story next! I have grown to love so many characters in this town.

[MILLIE JOHNSON · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although there were parts of this book that I enjoyed and there were bits of humor, there were too many secondary plots that were never resolved. I did enjoy the first few chapters of the book while the main characters were traveling. But once they reached Eden, it was all downhill. The plot fell apart, the dialogue became boring and the situations of her sisters, which were given great importance during the beginning and middle, were just left hanging with no resolution. The ending seemed like it was written by a middle schooler.
This story started out well with the beginnings of interesting character development and a good storyline but just went flat.

Wonderful book that continues the “Sisters” story

I love this series! Each book reveals a little bit more of the town of Eden and its residents. You get a chance to “live” in the town and know and love so many characters. This book revolves around the sisters and the continuing saga of their lives as they find their places in the town. Emma finds love in this book with Beranger, Katie’s heart is broken, Lavinia gets married, and Mavis is still waiting on Clint.
The book took some surprising twists and turns and I can’t wait for the next book to be released to get some more answers!

As soon as the Brinkmans hired Beranger (what a name!) I knew what was going to happen and I was totally there for it. The Brinkman sisters inherited a farm, a mine, and run multiple businesses in small town Eden, Colorado. Emma, who has the general store and seems to be the strongest willed of the lot, fights every bit of instinct that tells her Beranger, who is there to help with the mine, is a good guy. Hah! Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good romantic read. I had not read the first two books but was perfectly happy with this as a standalone.

My favorite Colorado Hearts book

I loved this series so far! Beranger and Emma were great. I enjoyed their banter and his diligence in showing her love isn’t bad. I was a little disappointed that there is still no relationship between Macis and Clint and had hoped for a glimmer of happiness for poor Katie. I am excited for American Duchess and hope that even though it’s set in England we still get updates on Eden. Maybe even another book for Beranger and Emma to return and he can work the mine?

An Excellent Western Adventure With Love Story Included!

I enjoyed Heart of Mine, Book 3 in the Colorado Hearts series by Caroline Fyffe. Sisters are traveling west by stagecoach as they begin the search for their father with whom they have lost contact over the years. They meet lots of people, hear lots of tales, and rub elbows with people who had been unable to bathe regularly during the long journey. Read this book to learn about people they meet in the town after arrival and about their life in Colorado.

I love this amazing series. This is Emma and Berangers story. Emma had to overcome her doubts and fears before she lost the one thing that she thought that she wold never have, love. Beranger loved Emma but, he didn't know how to prove to her that it would be a lasting love. This is a heartwarming story with wonderful characters. I also loved catching up with characters from the previous books. I can't wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

I WAITED A LONG TIME FOR HEART OF MINE TO BE AVAILABLE, AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT

ONCE AGAIN, CAROLINE FYFFE HAS BROUGHT TO LIFE THE WESTERN SETTLERS OF BEAUTIFUL COLORADO. HEART OF MINE IS A DELIGHTFUL STORY OF THE FIVE BRINKMAN SISTERS AND THEIR TRIALS AND LOVES IN EDEN, COLORADO. I KEPT WAITING FOR EMMA AND BERENGER TO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT EACH OTHER. I LOVED THIS BOOK AND DIDN'T WANT IT TO END.
