Book Review: Taming the Wind

A young widow nursing the wounds of her past... A cowboy with demons of his own... 

Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again. Tyler Atherton has never forgotten Carissa. When he discovers she's living with her sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes intertwined with the lovely widow's. And Carissa's daughter, Gloria, seems determined to wrap herself around his little finger. But while Tyler longs to provide a home and future for Carissa, he is haunted by an obligation he feels unable to fulfill. Challenged by mounting hardships, can Carissa and Tyler preserve their fledgling love in a land as unforgiving and vibrant as the people who call it home?

My Thoughts:

I can always count on Tracie Peterson for a good read, and I wasn't disappointed. A western always leaves me feeling a bit cozy, so this was a perfect read for the recent cool nights.  It seems like our past will often collide with our future and that's just what happens in Taming the Wind.   This book is placed just after the Civil War, and is quite accurate.  Facing fears, danger, hope and love are all a part of this story as well as the fact that God does indeed have a plan.  A wonderful Historical Romance that you don't want to miss. 

This is the 3rd book in this series, it's not necessary to read the first two, unless of course you don't want to miss some fantastic stories!
