Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-29 00:00:00 Jimmy Allred I have been re-reading old favorite of mine this summer and The Rocking M series by Elizabeth Lowell is one of my all time favorite series that dates back 25 years! The Rocking M series should be read in order because the characters thankfully move from one book to the next and the relationships continue to develop from book to book. This book is Tennessee Blackthorne's book. We met him in Fire and Rain as the ramrod of the Rocking M ranch. To be honest, I fell in love with his character in Fire and Rain, and at times, wanted him to be the hero of that book! His kindness, sensitivity, and yet lethal toughness was a compelling mix that demanded his own story. Thankfully he got a great story with this one! Dr. Diana Saxton has come to the Rocking M to study old Anasazi ruins. She has been badly abused by men in her past and has been severely impacted by that abuse. She doesn't trust men and seeks to avoid them at all costs. When she realizes that the Rocking M is filled with men, she is uncomfortable and afraid (to say the least). Ten is confusing to Diana because although she witnesses a fight in which Ten lethally and decidedly beats down a man who is physically larger than him, she also witnesses him gently care for a tiny kitten and tenderly hold Luke and Carla's infant son. This dichotomy is difficult for Diana to reconcile as she fights an unwilling attraction to the foreman of the Rocking M. What I love about this book is that Ten and Diana are given time together on a remote camp site as she is researching old ruins. Diana is dealing with the competing emotions of fear and desire. Ten gives her all the space she needs, as he fights the attraction that he feels for her. Diana and Ten develop a sweet friendship as they spend many days alone together, as Diana's carefully constructed boundaries begin to crumble. The intimate scenes between Ten and Diana are as tender as they are hot, and I loved watching Diana learn to trust and believe that men can be loving. We get to catch up with Luke and Carla, who are now living happily ever after, and other characters are introduced as well. Tennessee's elusive and remote brother, Nevada, has just returned from war and is hired on at the ranch, His story will also be told, as well as Cash McQueen, Carla's brother. This is a terrific series that delivers consistently and becomes as much about a family as it does the individual couples. Highly recommended!
