Heart of Eden

Publisher's Summary

USA Today bestselling author Caroline Fyffe's sweeping saga about five sisters finding love and forging new lives on the Colorado frontier.

Raised by guardians in Philadelphia, the Brinkman sisters have suddenly been bequeathed more than the truth about their late, estranged father - they've also inherited the Five Sisters Ranch, the dynasty he'd built for them in Eden, Colorado. It's theirs on one condition: to claim it, they must live on it for six months - a wilderness worlds away from the comforts of the city. For Belle Brinkman, her father's last wish could fulfill a dream she never knew she had.

Though Blake Harding, their father's protective friend and faithful foreman, has yet to come to terms with his own broken past, he finds his heart opening to the inspiring and determined Belle. But Eden soon proves to be a tough paradise for all of them when the sisters' lives are threatened by someone hell-bent on driving them out of town. Now they must gather their courage if they're going to secure their legacy and have a chance at claiming the new life and possibilities of love that the untamed territory offers.

Heart of Eden

Once again Caroline Fyffe wrote another wonderful novel full of adventure and love. Please keep in mind that she did it without bad languages or nasty love scenes.
I am an avid reader of all kinds of GOOD books. Over my 70 years of reading it has become more and more difficult to find good books without bad language or Nast love scenes. Caroline Fyffe is one of my favorite writers of good clean books. EXCELLENT BOOKS FULL OF ADVENTURE, and characters who really come to life through her pages.
I have read the entire series of the Prairie Hearts novels and the Mccutcheon Family Series plus several singles. I recommend each and every one of them.

Great Read!

This book held my interest, and I couldn't wait to hear more whenever I had to stop. I live in Colorado too, so that was kind of fun. The narrator is really good, and the voices and accents he used were great! I loved it, and I think you will too.

Looks to be another good series

The book was a little long, but with all the introductions I fully understand. I love the build up of the mystery and the details of the learning experience of Belle. This worth the "ride".

Really wonderful story and narration

I really loved this story and the voice of Scott Merriman was really good on the narration.
This first story of a new series is awesome and sets up the rest of the series,
Five sisters inherit their father' ranch in Eden, Colorado with co owner Blake Harding who was not a biological son but one that was considered a son because he was a hard worker at the ranch that the girls father took under his wing and eventually made him the manager of the ranch and considered him a son.
The girls were born at the ranch but their mother took them away to Philidelphia were they grew up.
Now back in Eden the town was happy to have them back but at the ranch some of the hands quit because they would not work for a woman or women.
This story has it all. Ups and downs in relationships and someone trying to kill them. No matter what this person wasn't about to stop until they accomplished the deed.
The woman now all want to give it a try in Eden but with things that happen they keep changing their mind. Life in a small town can be hazardous for sure.

Get this audible to listen to while doing what ever you need to and make sure you get the book to read. Good story.

A wonderful beginning to a new series!

What did you love best about Heart of Eden?

The excitement of the start of a new series. I love getting to know the characters that I've never met before, getting to know their personalities, what makes them who they are and being a part of a new romance unfolding.

What did you like best about this story?

This story is so well written and the author has such a talent for bringing the reader into the story with such wonderful descriptions of the shops, streets and the people in the story. You can imagine the cold and the heat, envision the mountains, rivers and even the windmills in this story. The characters are strong and interesting.

Which character – as performed by Scott Merriman – was your favorite?

I fell in love with Blake Harding right away. He had a not so great start in life until he was given a place in the Brinkman home as well as their hearts. He was a man of honor and always did what was right. He protected those he cared about and was grateful for all he had in his life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Belle and Blake finally realized what they meant to each other as well as Belle coming to terms with the fact she could stay in Eden, Colorado to find her happiness.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to the others to come in this series.

Sisterly love, unknown dangers, romance abounds

 have been looking forward to this new series and characters for a while now and I was not disappointed. Caroline Fyffe has once again created a setting that is so vivid and descriptive I could see myself sitting atop a horse looking over the vast valleys and cattle. New characters became almost instant family while reading. Their heartaches, fears, strengths and surprises were heartfelt and so real that I had to keep reading to find out more. The mystery that was kept up throughout was perfect. I had no clue and was completely surprised which is hard to do.

Five sisters away from their father their whole lives. Across the country they travel for the reading of his will. Along with Blake, the right hand man of their father for years and years. But trust doesn't come easy, especially when things come out that shatter the girls and make Blake feel a sense of pity for their plight. Now with a decision to stay for a while in Eden and the ranch things must be learned and taught. But danger abounds and with fear pushing at the girls will they leave and take from the ranch or will they stick it out? 

Belle is headstrong and feisty. But also tenderhearted. She has to be strong for her sisters but in those quiet times with just her and Blake his memories of her father consume her. How could they have not known?? And what are these feelings she keeps feeling for Blake? She's practically engaged to Lesley. As the dangers escalate and fears become more, will they be able to work through all the misunderstanding and find their true hearts in Eden?

Sweet Romance

This was my first book to read/listen to by Caroline Fyffe. It was well written with a great storyline. I will definitely be reading/listening to more of her books. I fell in love with her characters. Looking forward to the rest of the sister's stories as well as Henry's story.

Scott Merriman has become another favorite male narrator. He did an excellent job! Amazing since there are so many characters in this book. His voice is soothing and easy to listen to for a longer time. I hope he is performing for all the books in this series.

*I read this book through the Kindle Unlimited program.

I loved it

I loved the story, looking forward to hear what will happen with the rest of the girls
