A new novel from national best-selling romance author Raine Cantrell. For most Texans, Reconstruction stood as a second declaration of war. Returning to his Texas farm at the end of the War Between the States, Matt Coltrane finds his land ravaged by scavengers as part of a greedy Reconstruction land grab. Turned bitter by the war, Matt attempts to avoid others, until Laine Ellis, the only woman he ever loved, is threatened. Despite the odds against him, Matt swears to protect her, as well as his land. Born to be a Southern lady, Laine Ellis grew up in a lonely cabin on the edge of the bayou. Stubborn and courageous, she is raising her brother and sister after raiders killed her parents and destroyed her home. Laine doesnt entertain any mans attention, until Matts return. She loved him with a girls starry-eyed innocence and now wants him with a womans passion. She and Matt struggle in the face of old enemies and new challenges to bring their dreams to life as an entire country strives to put itself back together. Members Reviews: The first book I have tried from this author. ... The first book I have tried from this author. It was an ok read but just that. I will give her another try sometime on another book but I have to admit I was hoping for much more than I got from this one. A good read..very likable characters.. I enjoyed the book..The story did drag a bit but still held my interest..I really liked that the children were actual people in the book not just mentioned as scenery..I liked that the love story developed slowly and that they each were careful with their decisions..Enjoyable story with many likeable characters.. Four Stars Good read! A historical to fall in love with Life in the south after the Civil War was a time of great disillusionment â land grabs, carpetbaggers and yankees everywhere. Matt Coltrane heads home to Texas to keep his land from being stolen right out from under him. He intends to live out his days alone, war has cured him of any liking for his fellow man. But when Laine, the only woman he has ever cared for is introuble he vows to do whatever he can to protect her. After her parents were killed and her home was burned down around her, Laine fled to the bayou with her siblings. Now she needs help, but her heart tells her to trust any man, even Matt A well written love story about a period in history that doesnât get the attention is deserves. Cantrellâs depiction of Reformation is as stark as it is realistic. Well done Coming home should not be this hard This post-Civil War story is set in Texas swamp land. Dispossessed Southerners struggle to scratch out a meager subsistence in mosquito and alligator infested wasteland. Despite the hardship of trying to survive where no one else wants to travel, let alone live, there are carpet-baggers whose joy in life is to tax, burn-out, and imprison any Southerners who dare to attempt family life. The villains are evil; the heros are not perfect, but certainly worthy of our sympathy. A very enjoyable story. Contact me for any questions: [e-mail]
