Betrayal by Robin Lee Hatcher, and a giveaway

It’s the turn of the twentieth century and drifter Hugh Brennan is a man well acquainted with betrayal. Hugh finds himself drawn to the attractive widow, Julia, yet when he looks into her eyes, he recognizes the same hurt that haunts him.

Julia Grace has little reason to trust men, but she’s going to have to trust someone if she’s to keep her ranch from the clutches of her dead husband’s half-brother. Is it possible God had a hand in bringing Hugh to her door?

The latest historical romance from award-winning author Robin Lee Hatcher and the second book in the Where the Heart Lives series, Betrayal will take you to the high desert of western Wyoming, through the crags of the Rocky Mountains, and into the hearts of two seekers learning to trust God’s love no matter the circumstances.

My review:

    This book reads more like a romantic western than just a romance, and I liked it even more than the first book in the series, maybe because of that fact in part. Betrayal is the story of another of the parent-less siblings this series is about. This book takes up the story of Hugh, and in addition to the more western-like theme of  the book, and in addition to the romance, it also has themes of forgiveness and redemption. As with the first book, the title fits the story, as the main characters are dealing with betrayal and having to forgive those who betrayed and hurt them. This was an excellent story and is definitely worth the time I took to read and review it. I highly recommend it, and the book that precedes it, Belonging. And yes, they should be read in order.
