The whole Diamondback Ranch series is well done.  Novark is a great storyteller.  This one really got me though.  Maybe it is because I am a school teacher, or that the idea of isolation due to pain makes some sense to me...whatever the reason, it moved me.  The fact that the protagonist has put his love life on hold for 12 years after his wife died will make any red blooded woman pull for the underdog.  C'mon, we know he can love deeply, and we want to see it happen.  The earlier novels in the series show that family and love are important to the clan.  What's most entertaining is when Austin becomes a victim to his own heart and body.  This book gets bonus points for lusty gal grabbing and frustrating farewells.Oh, and I also like that the tween daughter gets in the middle of things.  Kids!  What're ya gonna do?
