Hearts Aflame

Great story... I'm a sucker for a western, down home setting. Entertaining, serious, good detail. Enjoyed reading.

Thirty year old California Realtor Krista gets a sudden call from her relatives that she is desperately needed at their horse ranch in Arizona. She rushes to their side after not visiting for 15 years to find her beloved Aunt terminally ill and her uncle suffering the onset of dementia. The horse ranch is in ruins from years of neglect and it is up to Krista to decide how to salvage it for her relatives last days. Into the desperate mix enters gorgeous Rae who has been burnt emotionally and is keeping romance at a distance. The attraction is palpable and when the two women come together it is intense. The most interesting part for me was learning the large cast of characters that enter the picture as the solution to the financial problems experienced by the ranch. Very entertaining read that is a page turner. A substantial book at almost 250 pages I did not put it down til the last issue was resolved. Don't Miss the author's other novels including - Wild Abandon

First, I've read 2 other books written by Ronica Black. Wild Abandon and Deeper. This book was just as well written, maybe better, and had a different setting than the previous books I have read. Ronica Black's book Hearts Aflame is a wonderful, heartwarming Romance. Now a city girl, Krista Wyler is back at the ranch where she spent all of her summers until a traumatic event 15 years ago changed that. Rae Jarrett, the local vet who works with the large animals on the ranches, has her own reasons for not wanting to be involved with anyone. Of course - when the 2 of them meet sparks fly! They don't appear to want the same things, What's important to Rae doesn't seem important to a city-girl like Krista. Krista doesn't think that she needs any help and resents the help offered by Rae. Rae is sure that Krista hates her and doesn't understand why. The ranch is in danger of financial ruin so Krista decides to turn the place into a dude ranch. Of course, that brings a whole lot of interesting characters into the mix, doesn't it? This was a great book to curl up with. It's certainly seems like a great series could come from this too. Imagine the stories that could traspire with all of the characters that come to a dude ranch? Go buy this book. Enjoy it. I did.

I just finished this book after having read the author's In Too Deep series. This book was completely different and it took me by surprise. But what a truly delightful read! This is one of the best lesbian romances I've ever read. Truly a wonderful read. It was such a great story with extremely interesting and well defined characters, a beautiful setting and heart pumping desire. I laughed, I cried, I flushed with "heat" on several occassions. Highly recommended.

This is the 3rd book by Black that I have read and as with the others I was not disappointed. The story and character development was great and helped to draw you into the story. As I have found with Black's other books, she is great at her descriptions and details of the surroundings and key events in the book. This is a must read.
