Where the Wind Blows, Book One of USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe's award winning western historical romance Prairie Hearts series. In the free and untamed Wild West, love might blossom in the most unexpected place...When the man from the orphanage mistakes Chase Logan for Jessie Strong's husband, the least Chase can do is help Jessie adopt the child she so desperately wants, the little girl who will be Jessie's only family in the Wyoming wilderness. Three days are all she asks. Three days pretending to love a woman who is unlike any he has ever known...Jessie knows it's chivalry, plain and simple, that spurs Chase Logan to come to her rescue the day little Sarah arrives at her door. A man like him isn't made for settling down; he is as wild as the land he roams. She should know better than to let down her guard, to allow herself to long for a family and a life with someone she hardly knows. And yet she dares to hope that maybe, just maybe, Chase Logan is the man destined to make all of her dreams come true.The Western Historical Romance Prairie Hearts Series: Book One--Where the Wind BlowsBook Two--Before the Larkspur BloomsBook Three--West Winds of WyomingBook Four--Under a Falling StarBook Five--Whispers on the Wind… (more)

This is a somewhat generic story of a restless cowboy Chase who comes to tell Jessie she's become a widow. Jessie panics because she is adopting a little girl and needs a husband for it to work. Of course, Chase comes to the rescue. This is all fine and good, but a couple of evil miners are also intent on harming Jessie. This and more contrivances keep Chase around, though Jessie gets a bit whiney about him leaving eventually, and there's a non-communication issue thrown in that is one of my least favorite tropes. It's not a bad read, but just okay. ( )

4 star. Good book. At times it did lose my interest but it may be because I’m not much on western books which this is not totally a western but did have Indians and fighting in it. ( )

This wasn't really my kind of story, but I do recommend it to anyone needing a break from all the sex and dramatics in a lot of the romance these days. It's clean and sweet, but it's pretty predictable. It's kinda like a book version of a Hallmark show. ( )

I am always looking for another good author who is new to me. I had not read Caroline Fyffe before this book. I am looking forward to exploring her work further. I totally enjoyed Where the Wind Blows. It is the genera that I prefer, historical romance novels. The characters were very detailed, it had excitement and I love the moral foundation to it. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone's reading. I love when I can find a good book to recommend to my daughter and granddaughter and not weary about any of the content. ( )

I'm on a Caroline Fyffe kick this week and I just noticed that I never reviewed this story, but have read it in 2012. Not acceptable!

I have to say that I love every story this author writes, and this was a start to a new series which I'm loving a lot.

This is one of those stories that brings a western town to life and introduces us to many of its citizens with an interesting plot and a fast pace.

I adored the hero, Chase Logan, despite his flaws. He had a hard task in front of him, which was made even harder when confronted with a dilemma our heroine had. Being an honorable man, he just rolls with it and decides to help Jessie with her problem.

And speaking of Jessie, it took me a bit to warm up to her, but once I did, she showed herself to be strong and resilient woman with a purpose and a plan. God help anyone in her way!

As both of them carry some secrets in their pasts, it is understandable that their romance takes some twists and turns, but in the end their happily ever after was worth it. Keeper for sure.
