Loved this book!  It has been a while since I have read a historical romance (although my reading romance "roots" were in historical romance).  I love stories with strong heroines and Kate was no weak damsel in distress!  She owned her own ranch and worked along side of the men.  She knew how to wield a hammer as well as bake a pie!  Sam was a man's man, but the story allowed the intriguing situation of him working for her.The author's descriptions of the area and the times showed research and dedication.  Her writing allowed the readers to exactly picture the ranch, the town of Hidden Springs, and the area.  This was not just a simple soft romance story though.  The romance was hot!  There was also danger and sexual violence, prevalent in the times.  There was hurt, pain, anger, and finally forgiveness.The secondary characters were some of the best I have read.  The town's characters came alive and added a great deal of interest to the story.  I was excited to see that Jack and Landry will have the next story (I was already thinking that they would make a great couple!) Don't worry - this is a stand alone, with a HEA!So do yourself a favor - fix your favorite drink, curl up on the couch, and read Here to Stay - you won't be disappointed!
