Leanna Ryan's hometown in coastal Oregon has been her refuge ever since a traumatic event during her teens. But over time, even the safest harbor can start to feel more like a prison. That's why Lea, a master carpenter and wood sculptor, is moving to Wyoming, a place whose rugged beauty has long captured her imagination. The scenery around Silver Creek is as stunning as she hoped, and her new employer, Logan Anderson, is generous and fair, though his eyes reveal a sadness she recognizes all too well.
Logan immediately knows he can trust Lea with his Wild Goose Ranch remodeling project. Her skill, her dedication—they're as appealing to him as her unaffected beauty. But he has other reasons for unease. There have been disturbing events around the ranch. Then Lea's car is rammed in a hit and run. Logan has already lost so much; now he fears he's jeopardizing not only his property, but Lea too. His dream is to convince Lea to make Silver Creek her home—but first, he'll have to keep her safe...

Review: From the synopsis and the good reviews on Amazon I honestly expected something differnt from Silver Creek Fire and I found myself disappointed.
Right from the start the writing is weird, with terribly long dialogues that are describing past events in a totally unnatural way. This excessive description of everything continues throughout the book and frankly some of the details are quite irrelevant. The story becomes boring instead of engrossing. As a character, Logan is not so bad, but Lea is inconsistent and in some ways behaves more like a teenager than an adult. Why the author feels the need to insist so much that Lea is 29 and Logan is 30 is beyond me. Their romance is strange too, they almost seem to be setting an appointment to have their first kiss instead of just letting it happen...
Overall I think the plot had potential, but the writing is not compelling and even with some suspense thrown in, this is a book that is hard to read until the end.
Happy readings!
