Fresh Fiction Review

HUMMINGBIRD LAKE
Emily March

Reviewed by Sharon Galligar Chance
Posted March 14, 2011

Romance Contemporary

Sage Anderson witnessed unspeakable crimes against humanity when she served as a volunteer with Doctors Without Borders in Africa. Suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sage abandons her career as a pediatrician and flees to the comfort and beauty of Eternity Springs, Colorado to recover. Tapping into her artistic talents, Sage finds peace as well as success as an artist of fantasy-filled paintings. But she can never fully escape the nightmares that rule her nights.

Governmental industrial accident investigator Colt Rafferty is fleeing demons of his own when he retreats to his family's favorite vacation destination -- Eternity Springs. But as he seeks a little respite for himself, he encounters the beautiful but wounded Sage, who seems to need his strength and comfort as much as he needs hers. But as the couple gravitate towards each other, their unique painful memories threaten to keep them from finding the love they so desperately need. Will the blessings of Eternity Springs be the soothing balm they so desperately seek or will they both run again?

HUMMINGBIRD LAKE, the second book in Emily March's Eternity Springs series, is a powerful testament to the healing power of love. March brings a graceful, gentle touch to this contemporary romance that is satisfying and fulfilling. Continuing several storylines found in the first novel in this series, ANGEL'S REST, March weaves the close-knit community of Eternity Springs into this tale with ease, leaving readers with a sense of longing for the next book to come soon. (And, if you're like me, a longing to visit Eternity Springs!)
