Summary: After living the glamorous life in the big city as a lingerie catalog model, Savannah Stephens returns to her home town of Sunbonnet, Wyoming where the horses roam free and she can find solitude with her six-year old daughter Claudia and from a painful history of breast cancer that she is still striving to emotionally recover from. It's a small town and everyone has heard of her return, but no one knows why she came back from such a glamorous life. Her one high school love, Clay has found her again, and won't give up his love for her until their relationship is rekindled.
Evaluation: The first chapter introduced Savannah in an interesting light. She was the town beauty and it did set up the inquisitiveness to find out why she returned to the small town from the big city. I read through the first 100 pages (I made it to page 105!) and had to put the book down. The only climatic parts were Savannah's sex scenes with Clay, but her character was obnoxious, Clay was overly predictable, and Claudia sounded more like a know-it-all 20 year old, rather than the intelligent six year old that she was supposed to be. The pace and language felt dumbed down and I did not want to find out if Clay won Savannah's heart - which I am sure he did!
