Will Sarah's journey west lead her back into the arms of the one man she can trust?

When her father succumbs to a long illness, Sarah Montgomery is freed from duty to family. At last she can be with the love of her life, Rand Campbell, who has gone out west to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Sarah and her younger brother Joel make the arduous journey filled with hope.

But at Fort Laramie, the reception Sarah meets isn't what she had hoped for. Her friend Amelia is thrilled to have her, but Rand seems to be in the clutches of Jessica DuBois, the scheming daughter of the post commander.

Sarah resolves to remain at Fort Laramie and try to win Rand back. But things will get tougher before they get easier . . . especially when her ex-fiancé Ben Croftner arrives in Wyoming, obsessed with having her back in his arms.

Title: A Heart’s Obsession (Journey of the Heart #2)
Author: Colleen Coble
Pages: 128
Year: 2015
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
My rating is 5 out of 5 stars.
In this second part of this six-part series, readers resume the story where part one ended. Sarah is living at home on the family farm, taking care of her younger brother and her dying father. Her bully of a brother still has his own plans for Sarah to marry Ben Croftner, even though Sarah has declared she will never marry him. With her father’s passing, Sarah leaves the farm, traveling to Fort Laramie, Wyoming, in the hope of seeing Rand and rekindling their romance. When she arrives, she finds Rand but with an unexpected surprise.
Rand has arrived at Fort Laramie and adjusted to cavalry life, which he loves. He doesn’t think Sarah would have liked living out in the middle of nowhere away from her family, so maybe it is a good thing they are no longer together. There is a new commanding officer at the fort, who brings his family along with him including his beautiful daughter, Jessica. She sets her cap for Rand, and Rand welcomes her attention. Is this the end for Rand and Sarah’s relationship?
I eagerly snapped this book open immediately after finishing part one and couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. I am so involved in this story. The characters are ones with whom I care about what happens to them. My emotions are engaged, and to me, that is what makes a good fictional romance. There seems to be something not quite right with Jessica, something fishy. I’ll have to read part three to see if I’m right or not, which I will be doing soon. This series might be a few years old, but good writing never goes out of fashion. Be sure to check it out!

Book two of the series is as captivating as the first, and an equally quick read. Again the tension builds, and you're left with a cliffhanger. I would like to knock Rand up the side of the head, or give him a stout shake, to wake him up! Breathlessly waiting for the next in the series. ( )
