Summary: Shiplett does it again -- great!!
Review: This is book number 4 out of 8 in an amazing series by author, June Lund Shiplett. This saga (starting with book 1) follows one woman (Loedicia) and her descendants. This particular book interweaves the stories of brothers, Heath and Teak and their lifelong hatred and resentment of each other. Of course, this extends to their love life and involves three women: Ann (Teak and Heath's adopted half-Indian sister), Darcy (Heath's teenage romance gone sour), and Janet (Heath's married lover). Shiplett makes these characters so real -- they have flaws, bad hair days, gain weight and make mistakes. Not your average blonde haired, blue eyed wimpy heroine who gets saves by the big handsome, over-bulked stupid guy. These women think for themselves and can take care of themselves, thank you very much. I'm really not a big reader of romances in general, but I love this series of books. I think I pull them out about once a year and reread them all the way through. It's truly amazing how Shiplett manages to weave history, family, action and romance thru this series. This is a can't miss series and you will only wish that Ms. Shiplett had written more.
