Leanna Ryan has finally taken the steps to take her life back and to follow her dream. She has a chance to take her master woodworking ability to a place she has always dreamed of living: Wyoming, the place in books that got her through a traumatic event in high school that could lead her to an amazing life and perhaps, the ability to trust and love. Little does she know, she is heading for a SILVER CREEK FIRE--where danger and intrigue mix in with family and romance.
Logan Anderson had thought his heart was frozen after losing his wife and newborn daughter, but it slowly opens with the arrival of Lea to the Wild Goose Ranch for the remodeling project he had planned for years. He never could have imagined the magic Lea could work with wood would lead to the renewal of not just his dreams but those of his friends and family.
SILVER CREEK FIRE is a well written, deeply thoughtful look at not just a romance between two hurting people but also at projects that could heal a hurting world. The trauma Lea suffered in school was a horrifying look at what can, and sadly, does happen when bullying is not stopped. What Logan suffered was also terrible, an accident that happens all too often in the streets. Both things can and do cause people to close up and it takes a strong will to get over it and move on. Lea and Logan do just that and together as they face more dangers that make them realize what they could miss if they don't grab life with both hands.
That said SILVER CREEK FIRE was an eyeopener when it comes to city people getting a good look at the dangers and fun of ranch life. Simple accidents can lead to long term injuries that have a stubborn rancher depending on someone for the little things he is used to doing on his own. Dances and get-togethers planned to celebrate being alive and working together to make life better for those around you.
I would say the only complaint I had with this amazing book was that at times it dragged and felt a little preachy. It was wonderful to see what others are doing to help the world become more sustainable but there were times when I wanted to see a bit more action and less talk.
If you want to watch a couple who deserve love find it, understand life on a ranch, and see the world through "let's be more careful with the world" eyes, then you need to get your hands on SILVER CREEK FIRE.
New York Times bestselling author, US Navy Veteran, and genre pioneer Lindsay McKenna combines pulse- pounding suspense with the romance of a contemporary Western for the first installment in her highly emotional, engrossingly swoon-worthy Silver Creek series.
Love's flame burns bright...
Leanna Ryan's hometown in coastal Oregon has been her refuge ever since a traumatic event during her teens. But over time, even the safest harbor can start to feel more like a prison. That's why Lea, a master carpenter and wood sculptor, is moving to Wyoming, a place whose rugged beauty has long captured her imagination. The scenery around Silver Creek is as stunning as she hoped, and her new employer, Logan Anderson, is generous and fair, though his eyes reveal a sadness she recognizes all too well.
Logan immediately knows he can trust Lea with his Wild Goose Ranch remodeling project. Her skill, her dedication—they're as appealing to him as her unaffected beauty. But he has other reasons for unease. There have been disturbing events around the ranch. Then Lea's car is rammed in a hit and run. Logan has already lost so much; now he fears he's jeopardizing not only his property, but Lea too. His dream is to convince Lea to make Silver Creek her home—but first, he'll have to keep her safe...
