Tracie Peterson
Land of the Lone
Star, Book 3
Back of the book:
A young widow nursing the wounds of her past . . . a
cowboy with demons of his own . . .
Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa
Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and
mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again.
Tyler Atherton has never forgotten Carissa. When he
discovers she’s living with her sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes
intertwined with the lovely widow’s. And Carissa’s daughter, Gloria, seems
determined to wrap herself around his little finger. But while Tyler longs to
provide a home and future for Carissa, he is haunted by an obligation he feels
unable to fulfill.
Challenged by mounting hardships, can Carissa and Tyler
preserve their fledgling love in a land as unforgiving and vibrant as the
people who call it home?

My thoughts:
I was reading Tracie Peterson’s bio and it said that she
has written over 95 books. To me that is an amazing accomplishment. I am of the
opinion that her writing just continues to get better and better.
This new series, Land of the Lonestar, is set during the
Civil War. The third book, Taming the
Wind, picks the story up about three years after Lee has surrendered. The
story has all the elements of a great western romance. There is a cattle drive
through hostile Indian Territory, a renegade bad guy that kidnaps the damsel,
the stolen land that is somehow redeemed, and of course the tension filled
budding romance. What’s not to like?!!
A wonderful thing about this series is that it is
designed for anyone to read. The storyline continues throughout all three
books, but if you only pick up this third one it will be okay. Tracie cleverly
fills in the blanks of background information without boring previous readers.
I usually don’t like books that go back over past material, but this book does
it in a way that seems natural rather than redundant.
The order of the series is: Chasing the Sun, Touching the Sky, and Taming the Wind. Grab them
all and enjoy several hours in the untamed “Land of the Lonestar.”
