Wild Rain: Women Who Dare

I'm a little disappointed, this felt very rushed. Like a first draft that hasn't had any substance and detail added.

I loved escaping into this wonderful romance! Set in the Wyoming Territory in the late 1880's, this fascinating story brings to life a strong, determined woman who charts her own way in the world while remaining devoted to her family and friends. Spring Rain Lee is a breath of fresh air, and I loved getting to know her and her wild ways. She holds unconventional ideals and I loved how those weren't treated as a problem to be fixed. She's been abandoned and mistreated by some of the men in her past so she's committed to making a life for herself that doesn't rely on any man. Garrett is a man of several trades, but it's his role as a journalist that brings him to Paradise to interview the local doctor, who is Spring's brother. Garrett turns out to be very different from any man she's known before, in ways that are intriguing and even more liberating. Garrett is enthralled by Spring's unconventional manner, and I really loved how he could stand up to her and for her and make her feel safe all at the same time. There's a bit of local drama that threatens Spring and by extension Garrett, but the story never veers far from the delicious love story that shows us how Spring and Garrett both change for the better and stay true to their innate core selves while forging a path ahead together. I loved his mother's advice when Garrett is faced with the one issue he thought might keep them apart, and I was relieved to see how the author resolved this conflict. There's a wonderful HEA and hints about another story to come, and I for one can't wait to read more about this delightful slice of Old West Paradise. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

enjoyed the story. bought the families together from Rhine to Reagan and Colton then Spring and Garett. I feel part of the family.
