Inventions of the Heart (The Lumbar Barron's Daughters #2) by Mary Connealy


 Her heart seeks safety. But will trouble find her even here?


After her sister's marriage, Michelle Stiles is left hiding at Two Harts Ranch with the handsome but stubborn Zane Hart. She's managed to stay one step ahead of her stepfather and his devious plans, but if he finds her, she will no longer be safe.

Zane has problems of his own. Having discovered a gold mine on his property, he must figure out how to harvest it without kicking off a gold rush. Michelle, educated and trained to run her father's business, wants to manage all aspects of the mine, but Zane thinks for a person so smart she can have some misguided ideas. Running the mining operation will be a dangerous job, and he can't risk putting her in harm's way.

But danger finds Michelle anyway when she's suddenly attacked. If they go to the sheriff, they'll reveal her location, but if they do nothing . . . their troubles have only just begun.

My thoughts:

I had been looking forward to this 2nd book in this series and as usual I was not disappointed to revisit the cast of characters that I’ve grown so fond of.  Michelle and her sisters are still in danger from their stepfather, luckily, they are much smarter and have been out maneuvering him with help of their loving mother. I have been enjoying the strength of these three amazing young women and can’t wait to see what happens in the next book in the series.

A little danger, a little romance and the love of family is perfectly blended in this wonderful novel.

I received a copy from the publisher and have given my honest opinion.
