Blurb: Gorgeous, famous Savannah Stephens is back, and no one in her hometown, Sunbonnet, Wyoming, really knows why. Especially not Clay Keogh, the good-hearted rancher who has loved her from afar since they were kids. Savannah's young daughter looks just like Savannah's first love: local bad boy Kole Kills Crow, Clay's half-brother. Has Savannah come home to start a new relationship with Kole?

Whatever her secrets, it's clear that she's deeply troubled and needs a shoulder to lean on. Clay is there for her, and she soon realizes that he's a very special man. But until she can bring herself to share the painful truth about her fall from stardom, the emotional distance between her and Clay may separate them forever.

Review: Touching, emotional, passionate and amazing. This is one of those stories where the characters may have some baggage, it is done in such a way that it only makes you connect with them even more. Well done and rounded with a plot and story line that pop :) A winner for me that will be in my keeper pile for years to come :)

At that task, he is without peer. But Benny is more than a simple friend to the town’s canines; he brings the same guileless compassion to the people around him.

Life is not as simple as he seems.

Review: A truely inspirational book that will touch your heart.

This is one of those tales that not every one will "get" but for thse who do, the journey will be breathtaking :) I was in awe at the masterful weaving of this tale and the way Alvarez was able to craft it in such a wonderful way. Animal lovers and dog lovers alike will surely enjoy this epic novel :)
