The final book in the Diamond of the Rockies series, THE TENDER VINE picks up where SWEET BOUNDLESS left off. Wanting to leave behind the pain and hurt the town of Crystal has brought her, Carina asks Quillian to take her home. Trying to salvage the remains of their marriage and repair the emotional hurt they have caused each other, Carina and Quillian look at this as a new start. Unfortunately, all the hurt and pain is not behind them. When Carina's family shuns Quillian and refuses to acknowledge their marriage, Carina is forced to live with her family while Quillian sets out to prove his worth to the DeGratia family. Angered by Carina's broken commitment to him, Flavio, the man she was once engaged to sets out to destroy Quillian and prove to Carina that he is the man for her.
THE TENDER VINE is a wonderful ending to a long and difficult journey for both Carina and Quillian. I thoroughly enjoyed the series, just as I have all of Kristen Heitzmann's books. A great series for readers who enjoy the west.♥
