Her descriptions paint a vivid picture of the beauty which belongs to the Texas range.The most satisfying part is the rich characterization and Sam's journey. True lives up to her name. She's true to her heart, loyal, honest, and courageous. True is also steadfast and it's that quality that allows Sam to spread his wings emotionally. Sam's had a hard life and knows only a certain way. His journey will warm the reader's heart.The novel is sophisticated for romance readers and Yeary's love scenes smolder.
