Publisher Description
A sizzling novel of love and revenge on the wild frontier.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Garlock ( Tenderness ) brings to atmospheric, energetic life a hard-edged, meaty story of passion, sin and redemption. Branded a slut in her Idaho logging community, unwed mother Dory Callahan tends the homestead for her beloved brother James and brutal half-brothers Milo and Louis. When mysterious Ben Waller arrives at the logging camp accompanied by his deaf daughter Odette, he quickly learns the sad history of Dory's brief affair with the sensitive son of a rival logging family, an affair that left her pregnant and her lover dead. Despite her past, Ben is won over by Dory's maternal sweetness, which also works wonders on the fragile, lovely Odette, who is just beginning to blossom into womanhood. Fearing a spate of savage killings of whores and Indian women in the area, Ben and James share protective watch over the women, foiling rape attempts by timber scum and much skullduggery from the vile, sadistic Louis and Milo and their cabal of ``river rats.'' As secrets and true identities are revealed, conflicts resolved and resolutions reached, the twisting turns of the well-paced tale come full circle. For those who like their romances dark, emotionally complex and brimful of grit, Garlock holds the reins masterfully.
Customer Reviews
Best book, Best authored book in a long time
I do ‘t know how
I missed this great book. I’ve read almost every thing written by by Dorothy Garlock. I’ve never been disappointed.Due to some hard times the last few years I have to wait until I can afford these iBooks but I will get them! Ms. Spenser has such a wonderful way of telling a story that puts you right there with them. This book is full of greed, back stabbing, and love. What more could you want? Ms. Garlock never met a story that she couldn’t tell better than anyone else. One of her books even got my daughter in law to start reading again. After college she pretty much had stopped reading but after a few days visiting us at the beach and a loan of a Garlock book, she was back. She quickly read all the ones I had then went to the library and read all she could fine there. From every bookstore she could find. We both love the stories, the writing style, and the heart that put in her books. Please don’t ever stop writing. Mine and a lot of other people’s lives would be a lot darker without you. Thank you for years of pleasure with one of your books, a glass of wine, and a hot bath. Put your iPad in a zip lock bag and get to reading!
