Summary: Surprised I didn't like it...boring read
Review: I am shocked I didn't find this book interesting. I tried and tried, but I lost interest almost immediately. The reviews are great on this, but I couldn't seem to find what they saw that I missed.
The story dragged to the point of yawning. Too much details on how to make beans and bacon on an open fire and too much conversation about nothing between secondary characters made me cringe and want to flip to the end to find out what happened to Eirica.
I liked the promise in the storyline, but felt like the author wasn't concentrating enough on the main character of an abused and broken woman who was trying to start her life over with 3 kids and one on the way. The male lead of James Jones was too tame and boring for me and found him non-essential to the story.

I really wish I could've enjoyed the book since everyone else did, but I am sorry to say I found it terribly lacking but will try this author again to see if maybe I missed something this time.

Summary: Excellent continuation of the White saga
Review: Susan Edwards has done a beautiful job in continuing the saga of the folks heading west on the Oregon Trail. However, one really needs to read White Wolf first to fully enjoy the many characters on this journey.

Summary: This series ROCKS!
Review: This time it is Eirica Macauley's story! The emigrants of the wagon train saw Birk Macauley drown and his body washed away. However, with all the abusing he committed against Eirica, even as she was eight months pregnant, and his three small children, no one was going to miss him! Eirica vowed to continue to Oregon, claim land in her own name, and raise her children with love. They would never fear a man again!

James Jones had fallen for Eirica before the wagon train had even began. Since she was married, he kept his distance. That did not stop him, his sister, and a few others from secretly protecting Eirica and the kids from Birk. Now that she was a widow, James let his feelings known. Eirica, having tasted freedom, was determined never to fall into the trap of marriage again! James had his work cut out for him.

Birk was very much alive though and was catching up to his wife and children. No matter what happened, it was always Eirica's fault and he planned to make her pay! Revenge! With murder on his mind, Birk and an old drinking buddy were making evil plans for many of the people who dared to be helping his wife, his property!

*** Once again Susan Edwards has written a story guaranteed to please! This story shows how hard it was for the emigrants and all the dangers they faced! The story had me cheering one moment and holding my breath the next. Susan Edwards is able to bring alive more than just the main hero and heroine too! All Eirica's friends have their own personalities and histories! Each tale in this series is a stand-alone story, but those who follow the series get to see cameos from other books. This interaction makes the stories all the more real! A winner! ***
