Once again thanks Lynette for giving me the opportunity to read your book to review.
As most of you know by now Historical fiction is my favourite genre. I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the setting and the ruggedness of the area. I love the way Lynette weaves this story. It also made me glad i didn't live in that era. Brooke is a woman who has been abused by men and we see how this treatment conditions a woman. Sky is the kind man who wants to protect Brooke from his cousin who has alot of issues also. Add to this book the setting of an mining area where the gold has run out, Chinese nationals and an Indian population and you get an interesting mix when a major event happens. I loved how this book unfolded and I hope it will be an inspiration to women who have been or are being abused now. It shows how the abuse conditions a women to believe she deserves it when she doesn't. I want to thank Lynette for this insight. We often say why do women put up with this but if they haven't known any different or if its been happening for awhile the women really do think they are at fault. I hope that this book will help someone in this situation realize its not there fault. I am eagarly awaiting book 2.
