Her father is a doctor and she has learned from him how to take care of wounds and illnesses. Catherine helps the man and nurses him back to health. Then Lon Van Anders comes by and sees the man. He is shocked and leaves immediately. Catherine is surprised to see Lon too, he was the reason she left her home in the first place. Now she becomes involved with these two men and their family. A lost son and brother, a diabolical plan to get rich quick and a mad man’s ravings could cost them all their lives.

First of all, Westerns are not usually my cup of tea but I have read books by this author before in different genres and I have highly enjoyed them, so, I thought I’d take a chance on this one and was not disappointed at all. With her usual style, Larriane Wills gives her readers a story that is not only interesting and exciting with lifelike characters but she uses multiple plots to keep the reader engaged. Just when you think it’s over, she throws in another twist and off you run again. I found this book well written, clear and concise and easy to follow. I loved all the characters, the setting and the plot. This is a great book that you’ll want to read again!

CLICK TO PURCHASE! Steven Chase wants to see Mourning Meadows and gets the chance when he is invited by Caroleigh to join her for a visit. This would be a chance to make a million dollar deal to develop the land there. When they arrive, Steven meets Kari, Caroleigh’s sister. Kari is strange, remote and the most attractive women he’s met. Kari has a secret. In fact, everyone at Mourning Meadows has a secret, even the ghosts and there is a secret that someone will even kill for. Steven and Kari have to work together to find out who wants to kill her and why. After a few attempts, it is clear that if they don’t find out soon, there will be nothing left at Mourning Meadows but ghosts.

MOURNING MEADOW is an interesting and intriguing book. So much so, that I was so caught up in the characters and story and couldn’t stop reading until my eyes were droopy, I just had to go to sleep. The very next morning, I couldn’t wait to get back to the story to see how it ends. Those cyber pages were flying! Larion Wills gives her readers an intricate plot with leap-off-the-pages characters and a mystery that will have the reader guessing right up to the very end. The romance in this story is sweet, the main focus is on the mystery, but nevertheless, the story will certainly get the reader’s heart a-beating. I can highly recommend this wonderful story and it’s also available in print!
