Daisy Densmore crawled back to town with her tail between her legs. She's got a lot to answer for and in a small town where everybody knows everybody's business it's going to be hard to hide if that's what she wants to do. The last thing she needs is advice from Pike Martin, vet and brother to someone Daisy betrayed. The last thing Pike wants is the job of "Redeeming Daisy".Ms. Hanson gives us a believable tale with realistic characters in her second novel featuring Hearts Crossing Ranch. Her storyline deals with disgrace to redemption, about owing up to our mistakes and taking our lumps when needed. It's also about not being an island and not being afraid to take a hand that reaches out to your even if it's from someone you don't think is an ally. It's very spiritual without overt preaching and more about forgiveness to ourselves.Her characters were likeable, however I would have liked to had a more in depth knowledge of them. Her hero and heroine were very unlikely candidates for a couple and yet I could feel the pull toward each other that the author gave them. Her romance is full of pitfalls and potholes and when the lightning strikes it strikes fast and furious. Her dialogue could flow a little freer and I would have liked a little more descriptiveness also, but those things did not detract from enjoying the tale.If you're the kind of reader who likes a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" story, you'll love this one.Originally posted at The Long and Short of It Romance Reviews.
