Unbroken Hearts is a fast-paced romance in a western setting.Sarah is an orphan and she and her sister Emily have been under the dubious care of her uncle for years. At the age of 19, she has given up any real hope of happiness for herself, but not for Emily. When events on the wagon train leave the 2 girls alone and penniless, Sarah finds herself in a very precarious situation.Roy strikes gold when he arranges for Sarah to be Cal's birthday present. Roy's brother Cal is a decent man who has not found personal happiness and after initial reluctance finds himself drawn to Sarah. She gives him a joy that he no longer anticipated in his life and he gives her a sense of belonging and importance that she did not dare hope for.There are many sweet moments, also involving Roy and little Emily, the mother of the 2 brothers who is confined to a wheelchair after a stroke and a romance between Ned and the schoolteacher.Several malicious, cruel and scheming characters keep the drama moving through to the end.The language was a bit clichéd in places, but the characters are very likeable and the plot maintains its pace throughout.I will definitely read the next two books in this series.Untamed Hearts (Easton Hearts Series #2)Undaunted Hearts (Easton Hearts Series #3)
