Crystal Creek #23: The Heart Won't Lie

From the back...When Ruth loved him, nothing else mattered--The Double C was awash in preparations for a Valentine's Day wedding, but Tyler took no joy in the proceedings. He and his wife might as well be on different planets. The wedding diverted her from her pain, but what about his guilt? What about his needs? His wife was meat and drink to Tyler McKinney, the air he breathed and the essence of his life. With Ruth beside him, he could tackle anything, but when she was seperated from him--either physically or emotionally, he just couldn't hack it. Neither could go on this way. Something had to give.In my Opinion...We were first introduced to Tyler and Ruth in 'Cowboys and Cabernet.' They have been important characters throughout the Crystal Creek series. In the last several books we have had to read about the tragic loss of their unborn son. Ruth and Tyler have still not completely recovered from their baby's death. In this book we discover just how far apart they have drifted and what it takes to bring them back together again. In a previous book (Southern Nights) we were introduced to Lisa Croft and Tony. They are back in this book to get married. The entire McKinney household is planning their wedding. And Lisa must face her past if she is to peacefully start her future with Tony. This is an emotional Crystal Creek book with the return of many characters from previous books. There is also several new characters that find love in this story. It was a nice addition to the Crystal Creek series.
