It is always appreciated that an author of the pink genre like Brenna Watson presents us with her historical plots with the knowledge of the cause that an ad hoc training provides. Because Brenna is that history graduate who one day decided to exploit her creative vein, starting from the fact that she had perfectly studied the space of her plots.
It is not that other authors who combine the pink and the historical as Nora roberts, to cite another great of this narrative mix, have to be undervalued. Because on such special occasions, creativity and good documentation work miracles. But Brenna has that cum laude credit of a history major.
Perhaps for this reason, the cadence in terms of publications is slower, in the case of Watson, for the trend of the pink genre. What is certain is that in each of its plots we enjoy a meticulous setting and that even informative point about times, uses and customs. If, in addition, the plots are torn towards that point of romanticism that curiously frizes the vindictive, then honey on flakes.

land of snow and fire

Until a rancher from Colorado, named Christopher Anderson, stays there and, after a twist of fate, asks her to marry him. Violet accepts with the illusion of having a home of her own and cleaning and cooking only for her husband.
However, an unpleasant surprise awaits her at the ranch: Christopher lives in a house with six other men and has only married her because he needed a maid.
As Violet weighs whether to return home or remain in Colorado, she will discover the man she has married, bond with the people of the town and ranch, and find herself in this landscape that invites fear, but also the adventure. She will soon realize that the Violet who has married Christopher is a new person capable of overcoming the shadows of her past and also those of that stranger who is now her husband.
The future has your name
A strong contradiction of love fills these pages. Marian Fillmore is still in disbelief over the sudden death of her wife, Baron Hamilton. In the depths of her being, relief far surpasses grief. An entire life subjected to contempt and mistreatment now seems open to happiness, beyond the ties of customs and the lacerating morality to be internalized.
But even after her death, her husband knew how to keep her well tied. If Marian does not comply with some conditions specified in the will, she would lose everything, becoming a homeless woman. Only the appearance of the Baron's son, whom he hardly ever heard from because he was residing in America, gives him a certain calm.
The boy's compassionate personality, understanding, and open spirit make him a compromising man. His ravishing presence culminates the whole of the ideal man. Marian soon feels great emotions for him that she can barely control. It has been many years of keeping the heart at bay, so that at that moment it can also sustain the marked beats of each beat.
When Marian discovers that she is fully reciprocated by her young stepson, the inner conflict runs high. Both know of the inappropriateness of their relationship in a false and cynical society. Ultimately you also face non-compliance with the provisions of the will.

They will face moments of repudiation and weakness, exacerbated criticism and even personal danger. What they decide will mark their steps towards a hopeful future or towards the darkness of the submission of customs and supposed good manners.
