The first book in the Coleman Family Saga by Sandra Brown. Lydia Bryant is on the run and pregnant. She gives birth to a still-born baby in the wilderness. She is found by two young boys who bring her to their wagon train. Also in the wagon train is Ross Coleman and his pregnant wife. Ross's wife, Victoria ends up dying after giving birth to a baby boy. Lydia is needed to keep the baby alive.

I read this years and years ago and reread it recently and still loved it. About 2 people thrown together by necessity and slowly learn to love despite their circumstances. Both had their flaws and issues with the past but eventually love prevails.

Been sitting on this review awhile. I’ll keep it succinct. This book was angsty and there was a lot of passion. Yes, our H was a complete jerk to the h, but his reactions were realistic (I think!) for the time period. I loved our h. She was pragmatic and brave. I was upset that she let shame stop her from disclosing her evil stepbrother’s mal-intent, but I get that was the conflict the book needed in order to resolve. I have read spoilers about the next book in this series and have decided to stop and not read Bubba’s story. This book really did it for me. I love these characters SO MUCH.

Good story. Lots of angst. Loved the destitute heroine and arrogant hero with a bloody past. And how it all merged together. It seemed like a systematic story you read a hundred times in different ways so nothing was really surprising, but the way the author can build her characters is worth the read. And did I mention steamy? Yeah. Made it worth it.

This story begins with the unpleasant picture of a very pregnant teenager giving birth in the forest. Sometimes the language made me wince but would be the likely language of these characters. This is a post civil war wagon train to Texas story. Necessity leads to a bond, a difficult relationship and the question of can they learn to love. A man who lost his wife , left with a dying newborn baby. A woman who could save the baby’s life. A criminal who thought he had put his past behind him. A woman running from her past of abuse.

This novel was written by one of my favorite authors. I gave the book only 3 stars because the story was prolonged. The beginning of the book was great but somewhere in the middle I was thinking please get to the point or ending already. The characters held my interest enough to finish and I am a sap for a love story. The downside of reading multiple books by one author is the comparison and this book left me disappointed.

Did not like what Ross did to her and how he treated her, but other than that, the overall story was good and saved this from being a two star review (because of what he did).
