Romantic Wednesday Tamera Alexander Within My Heart

[Giovanni Gelati]

I want to thank everyone for such a nice response to our first official romance day; I was stunned. Let’s get right to this novel as it’s something that really found a place in my mind and heart very quickly. I guess
having a wife and seven daughters rubbed off on me a little and I was able to
channel my feminine side during this read. I really am enjoying the historical
romance category. I am going to try others, but right now I am grooving on this
for another novel or two. By the way as a side note, my wife, Mrs. Gelati, will
be giving me a break and taking over this spot next week. She has two tear
jerkers to highlight. But I digress yet again.

The synopsis of Within My Heart is interesting and drew me to the novel: “ Widow Rachel Boyd struggles to keep her ranch afloat and provide for her two young sons, though
some days it feels as though her efforts are sabotaged at every turn. When her
cattle come down with disease and her sons' lives are endangered, she must turn
to Rand Brookston, Timber Ridge's physician and reluctant veterinarian. While
Rachel appreciates his help, she squelches any feelings she might have for
Rand--her own father was a doctor and his patients always took priority over
his family. Rachel refuses to repeat the mistakes her mother made. But when
she's courted by a wealthy client of the local resort, she faces a choice:
self-sufficiency and security or the risk inherent in the deepest of loves. “

The plotline and the narrative were very emotional and I found myself making a strong connection here. I was deeply interested in the characters and what was to happen to them. The dialogue was good, I loved the
setting, and Tamera Alexander’s descriptive abilities made me feel like I was
right there. The romance novels are taking an edge off my reading each week and
I am enjoying it so much. This novel was released in 2009 but it still holds up
well; it is historical romance after all. I don’t hesitate to suggest this
novel at all. Put it in your Shelfari or Goodreads to read list at the very
least.Go off the reservation a bit and get in touch with your feelings with Within My Heart, it will creep into
yours.
