This is the sequel to Innocent hearts by Radclyffe which sees us back in the wild west. Kate is almost back to being fighting fit after the illness which nearly took her life. She and Jessie are going strong out on the ranch when a new doctor strolls into town. Vance Phelps is a woman with demons after being on the battle field during the American Civil war. She gradually strikes up a strong bond with Mae, who works in the local salon. The book focuses mainly on their budding romance but still includes the original characters in significant roles.
Very sweet book with a dark storyline to keep up the tension. Definitely worth a read.

Promising Hearts is the sequel to Innocent Hearts, which I would recommend you read if you are intending to or have read Promising Hearts as it fills in a lot of the back detail about two of the main characters Kate and Jessie. Promising Hearts focuses on Mae a frontier madam, who we were introduced to in Innocent Hearts and the sweetly romantic relationship that develops between Mae and Vance Phelps a doctor emotionally damaged by the American Civil war, in which she served as a surgeon. If you are looking for well written romance, gentle eroticism, escapism and a happy ending look no further. My only complaint of the novel is that again we are left wondering about Mae, where she came from, why she ended up in New Hope and her reasons for her choice of lifestyle. Is the author being deliberately mysterious or is this because she intends to make this series a trilogy - I hope it is the latter and then maybe we can get some of the answers to what has been left unanswered by the previous novels.

Sequel to innnocent hearts
|
Dr. Vance Phelps lost everything in the War Between the States--her professional future, her place in Philadelphia society, and her faith in herself. She travels to New Hope, Montana with no hope of happiness and no desire for anything except forgetting. Mae is a frontier madam, used to standing alone. She fiercely guards the well-being of the lost young women who come under her care--she just never expected one of them to be a doctor, wounded in body and soul.
Can two outcasts find refuge in one another's hearts?
