Is Jason Jordan really who he says he is? Everything in Nicki’s life depends on the answer. Oregon, 1887 When her husband dies in a mysterious riding accident, Nicki Trent is left with a toddler and a rundown ranch. Determined to bring her ranch back from the brink of death, Nicki hires handsome Jason Jordan to help. But when William, her neighbor, starts pressing for her hand in marriage, the bank calls in a loan she didn’t even know about, bullets start flying, and a burlap dummy with a knife in its chest shows up on her doorstep, Nicki wonders if this ranch is worth all the trouble. To make matters worse, terrible things keep happening to her neighbors. When her friend’s homestead is burned to the ground and William lays the blame at Jason’s feet, Nicki wonders how well she knows her new hand…and her own heart. A desperate need. Malicious adversaries. Enticing love. Step into a day when outlaws ran free, the land was wild, and guns blazed at the drop of a hat.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today Bestselling author Lynnette Bonner was born in Malawi, Africa, and spent the first years of her life reveling in warm equatorial sunshine and the late evening duets of cicadas and hyenas. The year she turned eight she was off to Rift Valley Academy, a boarding school in Kenya where she spent many joy-filled years and graduated in 1990.

That fall, she traded to a new duet--one of traffic and rain--when she moved to Kirkland, Washington to attend Northwest University. It was there that she met her husband and a few years later they moved to the small town of Pierce, Idaho.

During the time they lived in Idaho while studying the history of their little town, Lynnette was inspired to begin the Shepherd's Heart Series with Rocky Mountain Oasis.

Marty and Lynnette have four children and currently live in Washington where Marty pastors a church.

5.0 out of 5 stars definitely a page-turner but also a wonderful testimony to God’s love
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024

This second installment in the series takes it up a notch. Drama, romance, suspense - and through it all you see guiding hand of God that Ms. Bonner is so good at portraying.
The novel deals with hard issues of life and death (a child dies so if it’s a trigger, be careful) , of unscrupulousness and greed, of murder and theft, etc. However, it’s fine with either frankness bathed in gentleness. There is love, compassion, and understanding in how issues are brought up and solutions are presented. God’s word is clearly proclaimed, his faithfulness reassured.
The novel has a well-developed plot, extremely relatable characters, and beautiful language. The multiple POVs and reappearance of past characters- as well as introduction of the new - make for a very satisfying read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pastors Thoughts
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012

This is the second book in the Shepherds Heart series. I read the first one and reviewed it and highly recommend if you haven't read the first one you should. This book stands alone and is highly entertaining. I read it all in one setting. I didn't want to put it down and when it was over I was wishing it wasn't. But unlike most reviewers I pride myself on giving you the pastor's view on Christian fiction. So with that let me give you the skinny on High Desert Haven.

This book takes on several different "moral" lessons and could have been quite preachy but it isn't. Yet it helps the reader want to live a life of integrity by the example of the Male and Female MCs. It deals with forgiveness and listening for God's leading in our everyday life decisions. There are examples of mans depravity and God's offer of forgiveness. There is a sub-theme of you reap what you sow as well. Finally it also tackles being in the author's own words "being Jesus with skin on." Yet all of these are wrapped in what is a great western and suspenseful romantic read. Not once did it feel like I was being preached to the messages were just a honest result of the characters life.

I know Lynette has at least two more books in this series and I for one will be buying them. When I do I will review it for you as well.

Rocky Mountain High
4.0 out of 5 stars High Desert Haven--an enjoyable read
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014

When I looked at the reviews, I was surprised to see such a difference in the rankings--5 stars to 1 star. I guess this is to be expected when all of us have different tastes and some seem to have noticeable biases against any Christian story, but when I read the comments of the lowest ranking raters, I was hard pressed not to roll my eyes. Things like "chickens don't lay in February without artificial lights" (mine do without artificial lights, and in cold weather), and comments about the use of Spanish, when the main character grew up in a Spanish-speaking home seemed a little arbitrary.

From my perspective, High Desert Haven was an enjoyable read. I've read books that deserved a one- or two-star ranking, but this is not one of them. I liked the first book in the series, Rocky Mountain Oasis, well enough to continue with this one. The opening scene established the extreme hardships under which the main character's family lived. It was within the context of this setting that John Trent appeared and offered gold for Dominique. She sacrifices herself so that her large family, who faces destitution and starvation, can live. This theme can also be found in the classic, Les Miserables.

The characters were both believable and likable, and the plot was interesting enough that I could overlook a couple of probable inconsistencies. I do plan to read the next book in the series, as well as other works by this author.

This story begins with sweat and toil for Dominique, or Nicki as she was called. As a consequence, she marries a man she doesn't even know or love. She knows he has cattle, but he is gone from early morning until late. When she finds out he has been killed and is told that it is an accident she doesn't know what she will do. Jason, who lives just accross the mountain is urged by his mother to go over and see if he can help this woman. She wants to keep the land but it seems everything is gone.

Jason keeps checking until he finds a valuable asset, providing it can be reigned in and sold. He calls in Law Enforcement friends from his valley in the town of Shiloh. He doesn't trust the men here in Nicki's valley. There are those who do not want his intrusion and try to eliminate him. They will do anything to get their hands on all the land, even kill.

This is a clean, sweet romance, as well as a lot of mystery, fighting, and intrigue. It's a good story. I'm going to buy the next in the series.

If you read this book you will love the material and the authors work! This auther is one of the best writers of Christian books; she keeps one interested and I had a hard time to even put it down! I shall keep looking for her books in this series. One of the thinks I like the best is how she has her charaters moving from one book to another to where one feels as if they are develooping a family album or diary. Her books are clean, have values, exciting, and nothing like the trash that fills the book stores - or even sent out on some of your adds. The trash availabe is hard to comprehend and one wonders at who would but such stuff?? Please keey producing the heart warming and encouageing material like this author writes.

This is book 2 in the series, which I just finished reading. Did not take me long. I left my review about the first book only a few days ago, This book is so wonderful, please buy it, you won't be sorry! First of all, the story intertwines with the first book, but yet it's not necessary to read the other one first! (But I would!) It is a beautiful romantic but (clean) story, with unexpected twists, secondly, it gives you knowledge what people in that era went through and thirdly scripture and the way of salvation could NOT be explained better! If I were not a Christian, or if I had doubts and uncertainties, this book certainly would get me a better understanding and hope of knowing that we are here for a purpose and that we can totally trust our Father in Heaven.
God Bless Lynnette, what a great writer you are!
