She hopes the insurance settlement will help her and her late sister\u2019s two children evade their vicious stepfather, who has had men tracking them for three months. Except the stranger, Hank Wilkins, doesn\u2019t die. And when he awakens to a wife and two stepchildren he doesn\u2019t remember, Molly finds herself being coerced by Hank\u2019s overbearing older brother to continue the charade. Fearing for Hank\u2019s life and knowing Molly is a nurse, he wants her to tend Hank at their ranch until he\u2019s fully recovered. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Molly might be a gifted healer, but she knows little about children and even less about men\u2014especially big, silent, brooding types like Hank. But as he slowly recovers, the threat of the children\u2019s stepfather seems distant and the idea of a real marriage becomes more appealing to Molly. Soon, though, Hank learns his marriage is a lie and the past begins to catch up with her\u2026and everything starts to unravel. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">~*~*~<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" title=\"InMyWords\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/InMyWords.png?resize=220%2C40\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The second book in Kaki Warner\u2019s Blood Rose Trilogy combines witty characters, nearly unbearable tension, and stunning prose to give it pride of place on the keeper shelf.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reading <em> Kaki Warner\u2019s<\/em> debut novel, <strong>Pieces of Sky<\/strong>, was one of the most exciting reading experiences I\u2019ve ever had. Here was an author writing about life in New Mexico Territory in the late 1860s with such vivid imagery that I felt like I was there, and with characters so realistic I could almost swear they were people I knew.<\/p>\n<p>Tricky to follow up on a debut like that, but <strong>Open Country <\/strong>more than holds its own. It continues the saga of the Wilkins brothers, focusing on middle brother Hank\u2019s story while also giving readers plenty of time with Brady and Jessica from <strong>Pieces of Sky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of<strong> Pieces of Sky<\/strong>, I couldn\u2019t have told you much about who Hank was. That\u2019s not because he was poorly described, but because he\u2019s a man of few words and the reader was never allowed inside his head. Of the three brothers, he\u2019s the quietest (not difficult, since Brady and Jack seem to compete for attention), the biggest, the gentlest, and the hairiest. He has an affinity for treating wounded animals, and, after his heart is stomped on by a silly girl, he doesn\u2019t say anything to his brothers about it. So, although I had these adjectives to describe Hank, I had no idea what made him tick.<\/p>\n<p>Exploring the mysteries of Hank is one of the biggest pleasures of <strong>Open Country<\/strong>, so I won\u2019t ruin it for readers. What I will tell you is that Hank is a lucky, lucky man. Not only does he survive a horrific train crash, but his fellow passenger is the courageous Molly McFarlane, a nurse who grew up helping her surgeon father amputate limbs and stitch up wounded men.<\/p>\n<p>Molly\u2019s in a world of trouble. Her dying sister begged Molly to take her two young children because their stepfather was up to no good. Molly\u2019s now on the run, unsure of what exactly she\u2019s running from or how close her brother-in-law is to finding her, and completely flummoxed at how to deal with her angry young nephew.<\/p>\n<p>When their train crashes, she helps take care of the big wounded man she\u2019d been staring at just before the crash. The doctor declares him a hopeless case, and Molly realizes she\u2019ll get some compensation from the railroad if Hank\u2019s death makes her a widow. So she marries him. While he\u2019s unconscious.<\/p>\n<p>But then he recovers.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to her surgical skills.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s when Molly\u2019s troubles really get interesting. She travels with Hank back to his family\u2019s ranch, and lives there with his older brother Brady, Brady\u2019s wife Jessica, and their children, as well as several servants who are more like family members. Hank\u2019s memory is slow to return, and at first he thinks his marriage to Molly is real. Just as he\u2019s figuring out that she\u2019d been planning to profit from his death, Molly\u2019s beginning to long for a real marriage with Hank.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the best moments are during the period when Hank is desperately searching his memory for traces of his wife. He\u2019s incredibly smart\u2014a man more adept with numbers and mechanical objects than with words\u2014so it really troubles him that Molly is missing from his memory. The fact that he\u2019s missing out on the little details of their life before the accident bothers him most, and he spends his time trying to remember what her favorite food is, and how her breasts feel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kaki Warner<\/em> is fantastic at detail, but she doesn\u2019t bog a story down with it. Her writing style matches the setting perfectly\u2014dry, sparse, and absolutely crackling with tension. This isn\u2019t a place where the threat is to a character\u2019s reputation; characters\u2019 lives are in constant danger from villains, animals and the elements. Her characters laugh hard, love harder, and are willing to sacrifice everything for each other. They are irreverently funny, and <em>Kaki Warner<\/em> never shies away from showing life at its roughest, which gives the reader confidence that the characters have the toughness necessary to survive in this harsh setting.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a beautifully spun tale that will leave readers satisfied, yet yearning for Jack\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">9  (Excellent) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">3  (Sensual) <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[starrater tpl=10 style=&#8217;christmas&#8217;]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readericreatedhim.blog.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2739\" title=\"katrina\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/katrina.png?resize=545%2C149\" alt=\"\" width=\"545\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-3599\" data-postid=\"3599\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-3599 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Country Author: Kaki Warner Publisher: Berkley Trade Pub.
