Beautiful Julia DObson had known love years ago. And it had broken her heart. Now she was back in the little frontier town of her childhood, living in her brother Luke Turner's house, a stranger to the happiness he had with his wife, Sarah. FOr while Sarah's love had redeemed Luke from a wild, lawless past, Julia still burned with shame at being born a Turner, a pretty rag doll of a girl from a tar-paper shack ... a girl not good enough for Dr. Banks' handsome son James to marry.
Yet in this tiny Texas town Julia could not avoid James for long. And when their eyes met, desire washed over her just as it had before. She knew some things never change, that he could never marry a lowborn woman like her. But she couldn't forget her dream of a love that comes once in a lifetime ... or her secret promise that this time she wouldn't let him go.

I loved this book. The other book Rainbow Season was also a great book.
This is an exceptional love story that pulls ahead of it's wonderful prequel, The Rainbow Season. We actually get to read about three couples in this one tale: Julia and James, Sarah and Luke, and Micah and Dovie. Although the books was supposed to be primarily about Julia and James, I felt much more attention was given to Sarah and Luke's complex marriage, which was great because I wanted to read more about them anyway. However, all three couples got their HEA. This was reading time well spent, and I could hardly put the book down. 4.8 stars.
