After her father's death, Leah Morgan learns his will bequeaths the White Eagle Ranch that she owns and runs to herself and to his two illegitimate half brothers. Brothers she knew nothing about. It's a good thing she's got her Comanche grandfather Ken and veterinarian lover Shane Duffy there to help her get through the turmoil. Shane's been filling her time with hot loving. She's also got Grant Fallon, a geologist who's been surveying the land for minerals. Jealous that Leah hasn't taken him up on his offer to replace Shane and give her more than Shane ever could, he's been telling Leah that perhaps Shane's only there with her for the ranch. Now Leah doubts both men and is uncertain about the outcome of her ranch and her own intimate happily ever after.Not usually into Westerns, I nonetheless chose to read Eagle's Run because it seems that everything talented author Desiree Holt writes is magic.  I'm glad I did. This story has all that I've come to expect from Ms. Holt: a little bit of suspense, emotionally complex characters, and a whole lot of loving. Leah is a wonderfully intelligent, fiercely protective and sensual woman. She doesn't need anyone to save her, she just wants her quiet life on her ranch and her happily ever after with her lover. Shane is fabulously sexy. He's confident and in control... until Leah's in the room. Then he becomes this sexual dynamo. I would have preferred that Leah not already be ensconced in a relationship with Shane but perhaps still getting to know him, but the story was well fleshed, well written and thoroughly enjoyed.Courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews ([...])
