Within My Heart by Tamera AlexanderMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
WITHIN MY HEART by Tamera Alexander has all the key elements for a historical romance; a self-confidence heroine, a hero with a haunted pass, and the great outdoors as its glorious setting.
Rachel Boyd is desperate to keep her late husband’s dream alive–to have a prosperous ranch to pass down to their two sons. But her determination wanes as she finds herself deeper in debt. Feeling as if she has nowhere to turn, she concedes and asked Dr. Rand Brookston for help. As talented and handsome as Rand is, he’s a doctor, just like her father. And for Rachel, that’s all she needs to know. She tries to keep her distance from the doctor, but when he continues to surprise her with his selfless acts, the wall around her heart starts to crumble.
Dr. Rand Brookston has left lucrative opportunities in the East in order to offer medicine to those in the Wild West. Settling in Timber Ridge, his dream is to open a medical clinic so he can better serve his patients. But funds are scare, and the townspeople have yet to embrace him fully. When not treating his patients, Rand desires to get to know Rachel Boyd better. But she continues to keep him at arms length. Not sure what it is that Rachel has against him, Rand is determined to break through her stony exterior.
WITHIN MY HEART was quite enjoyable, but then again, it’s exactly what I have come to expect from Tamera Alexander. Though I felt Rachel could’ve thawed sooner to the ever helpful Rand, I knew they would end up together in the end so the personal tug-o-war was just a formality. The Timber Ridge Reflections series was entertaining. Nothing over the top, just a nice story with memorable characters
