Healing Montana Sky

Healing Montana Sky
By Debra Holland

SUMMARY
After a grizzly bear kills Antonia Valleau’s trapper husband, she packs her few worldly possessions, leaves her home in the mountains of Montana, and treks to nearby Sweetwater Springs, seeking work to provide for her two young sons.

Reeling from the loss of his wife during childbirth, Erik Muth must find a nursing mother for his newborn daughter to survive. For their children’s sake, Erik and Antonia wed, starting a new life together on his farm on the prairie. But it’s no easy union. Antonia misunderstands Erik’s quiet personality. He finds her independence disconcerting. Both hide secrets that challenge their growing intimacy.

When Indians steal livestock from farms around Sweetwater Springs to feed their starving tribe, the outraged townsfolk demand retaliation. Erik and Antonia must work together to prevent a massacre. Will a marriage forged in loss blossom into love? 

REVIEW

Great little read. The author brought on all the emotions: happy, sad, anger, and love. The characters felt real and you could really feel their emotions. Their story was real and wasn't unrealistic. All I can say is that was a hard life. Antonia was a super strong woman always fighting for her children to make them happy and whole even when she was sad and trying to deal with a new life. The only point I got upset with is when she revealed she was illiterate. His reaction to me was unfair and uncalled for. He didn't see her side. Good read!

REVIEW
I really loved this book!  The characters were so in depth and complicated.  I was a little confused at the end though.  He has slept with her mom and still is?  She blackmails him to sleep with her?  Not sure about that.  I want to see what happens to these tortured souls.  The sex is hot! They have great chemistry.  The author captured the rabid fans and how critical they are about the book turning into the movie.

I would give 5 stars!  But I don't like serial books just give me the whole thing.  I know the author is going to put out the whole book and I know she said straight up she was trying this so I shouldn't complain.  I love this author have read since her fan fiction days!  She is wonderful and she keeps raising the bar. I will buy whatever she puts out!

REVIEW
liked this book, but then it dragged on and on and on.....then I just got frustrated. I liked the characters and the author did a great job in bringing them to life, the heroine was strong and stayed that way throughout. Hacon was interesting a a real good hearted man. They story just dragged and you just wanted the end to get fhere. The bad guys were truly bad, but as always they got what they deserved. A good read, but not a great one.
