"Claim" by Lisa T. Bergren
Jun. 7th, 2012 08:11 pmThe Homeward Trilogy started with "Breathe" and continued with "Sing", and now we have "Claim" to wrap it all up! This series is definitely tied together so I would recommend starting at the beginning if you have an interest in these Colorado-based stories.
Nic St. Clair has been around the globe and is almost ready to face his family again, except for one thing: he doesn't want to go home empty-handed. An interesting offer for work sends Nic up into the mountains, where he unexpectedly inherits a promising gold mine and a 9-year-old boy. In order to keep the child from the orphanage, Nic decides to try the mining life for a week and see how it turns out.
When a big mining company comes with a tempting offer, Nic is ready to sign off and head to the ranch with his head held high. But where would that leave Everett? And he can only accept the offer if his mysterious mountain woman of a neighbor agrees to sell her claim, too. Decisions become a little trickier when thinking for more than just himself.
Meanwhile, Moira is still chasing the conclusion to events started in "Sing". She's looking for closure from the past and hope for the future, and unwilling to sit still and let things play out. Can she learn to stop rushing headlong into things before it costs her more dearly than she could imagine?
This book was the best in the trilogy. The author did a great job maintaining the suspense in the storyline and I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed getting to know the St. Clair family. Everyone needs a good western-themed read every now and then!
