I really liked this book. It is one of my favorites by Mrs. Palmer. If you enjoy her stories then you will like this one. It follows typical Palmer format. Angry man, helpless woman, then they end up happily ever after. Although I thought that Cecily was a much stronger woman than Mrs. Palmer usually writes about. I thought that she stuck up for herself right up until the end of the book, meaning she didn't let Tate (the male lead) walk all over her. Tate refused his feelings for Cecily because he is Native American and she is White. There is lots of secrets and action on top of a wonderful romance in this book. I really enjoyed Cecily's friend Colby Lane in this book. At times though, I wished she would marry him instead of pinning away for Tate. There are twists that keep this book interesting.
