From USA Today Best Selling Author Lisa Mondello - A new contemporary western romance series DAKOTA HEARTSShe needed to risk the truth to get a second chance...Poppy Erickson had spent the year wondering how all their lives might have been different after hearing the deathbed confession of her childhood friend. She'd left South Dakota years ago because she couldn't bear to watch the man she loved loving another woman. But now she knows the truth. She'll keep the promise she made to a friend, but will Logan understand when he learns the truth? More important, can they again recapture the passion that had been between them all those years ago?He needed to face the past to get the love of a woman he thought he'd lost..Everyone knows that the Dakotas didn't get the name Badlands for nothing. Harsh weather and rough living are a way of life. But single dad, Logan McKinnon, had seen more than his share of bad times after the death of his wife a year ago. The last thing he needs is Poppy Erickson, an old flame and his late wife's best friend, showing up unannounced to help after devastating floods nearly washed away their hometown. With no place to stay in town, he has no choice but to offer her a bed at his house. But can he live under the same roof with a woman he'd once loved passionately without feeling he's betraying his late wife?Excerpt:One look on Logan McKinnon's face told Poppy that his foul mood had very little to do with the devastating destruction all around the Badlands of South Dakota...and everything to do with her showing up in town after nearly ten years.She didn't have to be standing next to him to feel his anger simmering just below the surface of his composure. Sitting in her rental sedan was close enough. What the hell was she thinking coming back home? Why had she made that ridiculous promise to Kelly?She parked the car next to his truck and took a deep breath, mumbling under her breath as she pulled the door handle, "This may just turn out to be the stupidest thing you have ever done, girl."Truth was, even as pissed off as Logan looked, he was still an amazing sight to see. Part of her had hoped that she was wrong. That she'd gotten over him a long time ago. That she'd take one look at him, make sure he and Keith were okay, and be able to get back in her car and drive right to the airport in Rapids City.He turned to her, standing tall and proud. His thick dark hair blew in the March wind, fluttering around his face and making him all the more strikingly handsome.Yep. Stupid.He was taller than she'd remembered, and he'd long since lost that too-lean teenage body that had driven her crazy in her youth. He worked hard on his ranch and it showed in how much his arms and chest had filled with muscles.Despite the cold, he'd taken off his jacket while he worked in the yard and Poppy had a clear view of just how much his male body had filled out in places she'd dreamed of touching.Lord, help her. She was in trouble. And she hadn't even stepped out of the car yet. She pushed the door open and stepped outside to get it over with. It was either going to be the shortest visit on record...or a life changing experience she'd been dreaming of ever since she was a teenager."Hi, Logan."Logan starred at he for a long, agonizing moment. She read the emotional tug of war playing on his face as the sudden chill from the South Dakota winds bit into her exposed skin like a whipping.Then his expression turned hard. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Poppy Ericson went back to help out in her home town in Dakota after they had been hit with a flood that caused massive destruction. She also made a death-bed promise to her best friend, Kelly, that she would tell Logan McKinnon the truth. Poppy's family had moved to New York when she was a teen and Poppy had never returned so when she showed up at Logan's ranch, he is pretty angry and wants to know what she is doing there.

Poppy, Logan and Kelly had been best friends throughout their childhood but Logan and Poppy expected to stay together forever. Logan ended up marrying Kelly and they had a son, Keith.

Poppy didn't know if Logan was going to accept her help but he finally agreed to let her stay. With all the people arriving to help, there weren't any rooms available so she stayed in Logan's house and their love bloomed once again.

I loved this story! It's a wonderful second chance romance. Like all of Lisa Mondello's books this was so well written that I could easily picture the scenes and characters. It's such an emotional tale that I felt sorry for Poppy and Logan for being kept apart for so long and cried when Logan finally accepted the truth.

I wanted to read this book because of the title and author. Anything with a western or cowboy theme draws me and Lisa Mondello has such a good reputation as a romance author, I thought this book would be just my style. I was right.

I was really captured by this story and I didn’t quite expect to be. Poppy comes home to help out her old town, after a horrible flood reeked havoc on it. More specifically, she comes home to help Logan, her old friend and teenage crush. The first meeting started a little rocky and continues to be rocky until all the truth (and there is a lot of truth) and passion explodes from these two characters.

The other secondary characters were pretty great. Keith (more on him later), and all of Logan’s brothers (who I really hope make more appearances in the rest of the series) kept the tension light and fun.

Keith, Logan’s son, was insanely adorable. I could see a four year old acting just the way that Mondello wrote his character. Plus, Keith put this cuter edge onto the story with his adorableness. It was nice that Poppy had already won over Keith through the weekly phone calls so it was quite easy for them to click into a sweet role together. However, watching her work at winning over Logan is a whole other story.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014

Oh Lisa you have really done it again. What a wonderful read. I started this book and just couldn't put it down until I had finished it.

The characters: Logan and Poppy are wonderful. Logan, you are one hot guy and you can come clear my yard of mess any day of the week, and the weekend for that.

A bit far fetched that two people, who are so madly in love can forgive the person who caused them to be apart for ten important years of their lives, even if she was their best friend.

The story is believable, homely, fun and nice. Their love scenes could have been slightly more interesting and a bit drawn out and although they were explained, few and far between, they were nice.

I wish there had been an epilogue to this book to find out Logan and Polly get married and if they have children together and how she wound up her life in New York. Maybe if and when this book is republished (rewritten) then an epilogue can be added.

I would recommend this book as it is easy reading, sweet and there is no over explicit sex. I can't wait to find another book as lovely as this one, that will keep me up to the wee hours reading... Thank you Lisa for yet another good book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good CLEAN american love story

Poppy Ericksen, a good ole country gal From Rudolph, growing up in the Badlands of South Dakota is forced to move to the Big Apple as a teenager when her parents sells the family farm and moves to the city. At an age where she is in the beginning of her first young love, a boy she has grown up with, played with, and shared her secrets with. Her best girlfriend Kelly along with Logan, well they were a trio swimming and having fun in their young and impressionable age. This is her life, all she knows, a far cry from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Poppy adapts and makes a good life in the city. But leaving Logan is breaking her heart. She loves him with all her heart and he has promised to come to her in the big city. But he never comes, and she suffers a broken heart of tremendous magnitude, her world is torn apart. But Logan does the unthinkable and marries Kelly. She feels betrayed by both her childhood friends but she puts the hurt behind and remains friends with Kelly through the years. When Kelly is stricken with Cancer, she comes clean with secrets to Kelly that she has held in her heart for 10 years. Secrets that threaten Poppy and Logan’s life. Poppy makes a promise to Kelly that she will return to Rudolph and tell Logan the truth. Will he believe her? Will he understand? Can she face him with the truth and survive if he turns her away? You see, Poppy never stopped loving Logan. She never was able to get him out of her mind and her heart.

Logan McKinnon’s life didn’t turn out the way he expected or planned all those years ago when Poppy left Rudolph. He had planned to go to New York and was actually packed and driving away when he is approached by Kelly. She drops the big bomb that she is pregnant and the child is his. Being the good boy next door so to speak that he is, Logan stays in Rudolph and marries Kelly. But does he really love her? Fate has forced his hand to do the right thing by her and his unborn child so he has to turn away from his dream of a life with the only woman he has ever loved. His Poppy, his childhood best friend, his heart and soul. Damn her, why did she have to move, why did she leave him and their dreams? His biggest pleasure in life was to make her smile. Well no more.

Kelly and Logan end up purchasing Poppy’s old farm when it goes back up for sale and he becomes a rancher to support Kelly and his five year old son. But Kelly is gone now, leaving him alone as a single parent to raise his son along when Poppy suddenly shows up a year after Kelly’s death. Why is she here? She didn’t bother coming when Kelly needed her the most, she didn’t even come to the funeral when he needed her the most. So why come now? Can he do this? His heart is dead to Poppy; he has long ago given up his childhood dream and made a life, cut short as it was with Kelly. But has he really lived his life? His brothers don’t think so; they say he has become dead to the world. Turning away from his friends, never smiling or having fun. So why has fate brought Poppy back to Rudolph, as far as he is concerned she can just get right back in that rental car and drive right back to the airport, back to the big city.

There are a lot of questions as your reading this book. The secrets are mysterious and the author plays this out throughout the book. It was a good book, short, but it has a good story line. The author plays out her characters in a way that you can relate the book to a real life scenario. The characters are easy to follow and become entwined with their lives with the dilemmas that lead them through the story is a believable one.

However, the editing was terrible. There are a lot of missing words, and words used out of context which was disturbing to me. This takes from the story when you have to re-read a sentence just to figure out what the author is trying to tell you. I liked the book but the poor editing definitely takes away from the pleasure of reading the story.

You won’t find any action in this book other than the love scenes between the two main characters which was very tastefully written by this author. I commend her on this as personally I’m tired of reading through love scenes that are so explicit it can get a little sickening. Some authors can pull this off, some can’t. So I really enjoyed the sexual content in this book, clean lovin’ is what I would call it.

Now if you’ve read some of my reviews you know my personal tastes, I don’t really like the short stories. I prefer the longer books where the author really gets into the story line and the characters lives. If you can get past the very bad editing in this book it’s worth reading. I liked the way the author ends out of book and tells the big secrets that the book is centered on. So I would recommend this one to you romance readers out there. It’s worth your time.

This is a great read. I felt a very deep connection with this story and it felt very real. Her writing is very good for this genre. You can get this story in the anthology with four other stories but this one is the best of the lot. It surprises me that this one is free in KU, but I suppose it is because it is the first one. It is a very moving story and it seems as if a lot of thought went into it. I have no hesitation in highly recommending it.

This is the second Mondello book I've read and it brought tears several times. Though the story is set around lies and deceit, it was well written and with empathy. Love and jealousy makes people do strange things....just listen to the news now and then. This was a heartwarming story of love and forgiveness. I loved the characters and they were very real to me. Some would say that Logan should not have believed blindly, but it was well believable and the sense of responsibility he felt was strong.....is very strong in most rural families. I loved this book and the McKinnons we met in it. Can't wait to meet the rest of them. Highly recommend, but keep your tissues handy.
