See all formats and editions

Julia Darling is finally able to marry her Paul for eternity. But it's a harsh world for a rancher in turn-of-the-century Wyoming, especially a Mormon rancher. When alienation and threats start coming, Julia must prove she's her husband's equal in strength and endurance as she learns to let go of scars on the outside and inside.

Best-selling author Carla Kelly has woven a new story about the depths of love discovered by enduring to the end.

Editorial Reviews

Review

To anyone that is considering to read this story before they read BORROWED LIGHT, please STOP and get the first book. You won t be sorry, as it is the story that started it all. It s like having a pie without the pie crust ! You ll understand the analogy when you finish the book, but seriously, you ll appreciate this sequel so much more after reading its prequel. I am a very new Carla Kelly fan, but she has managed to impress me after only one book, and finding out that she has written a book (or two now) that were not Regencies, intrigued. Finding out that they were LDS based, baffled this ignorant reviewer who wasn t familiar with LDS nor did she know what it means. When in doubt, ask is my motto, so I asked Ms. Kelly and she was more than willing to tell me about her beliefs(and if you re like me, please find a minute to read about them at the end of my review), and the reasons for writing these two books. For more on that subject, tune in tomorrow. --Bookworm 2 Bookworm Blog

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
I'm a long-time, award-winning novelist, perhaps best known for my Regency Romances, two of which have earned Rita Awards from Romance Writers of America. I've also been writing Mormon-themed novels, as well as historical fiction for Harlequin and CamelPress in Seattle. I have three Whitney Awards from LDStorymakers, and two Spur Awards from Western Writers of America, plus a Lifetime Achievement Award from Romantic Times (which makes me feel like I have one foot in the grave).
Current works available now are "The Christmas Angle," from A Country Christmas; "A Christmas Dance with the Rancher," from Harlequin's Western Christmas Proposals, and For This We Are Soldiers: Tales of the Frontier Army.
Out in February will be the fourth and final book in the Spanish Brand Series: "The Star in the Meadow." In March will be "Courting Carrie in Wonderland" for Cedar Fort, which I am writing now.
I'll soon be starting a series set at St. Edmunds School in Portsmouth, England in 1803, a direct result of my short story, "The Christmas Angle," which is newly available in A Country Christmas. I discovered I couldn't let go of those interesting characters.
I love to write. The whole process still fascinates me, even after many novels and short stories, and some non-fiction work. I'm still learning with every book.

Wonderful Characters in this book

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I love Carla Kelly so I pretty much purchase all her books that are available on Kindle. I love the way she gives great insight into what the main character is thinking whether or not the thoughts are stated out loud. Obviously, the first book in this series, "Borrowed Light," and this second book "Enduring Light" are written with an LDS (or Mormon) audience in mind, or if not an LDS audience, certainly Ms. Kelly doesn't hold anything back when it comes to putting the Mormon beliefs into these two books. If you haven't read "Borrowed Light," may I strongly suggest you read it before you read "Enduring Light."

The two main characters in these books are some of my favorites and I read about 10 books each week. You will not find the big misunderstandings which often occur between the main characters in some romance novels and which, may I say, can drive you nuts. Rather, Miss Darling and Mr. Otto are are just plain nice and the romance builds ever so slowly as we become acquainted with these rich characters and the lives they lead.

I don't like her Mormon fiction as much as her Napoleonic wars ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

I don't like her Mormon fiction as much as her Napoleonic wars novels. But this entry into Mormon life and community was interesting and new to me. Some readers disrecommended her Mormon novels because of the religious content not being what they look for in a romance novel. But the religious content was very consistent with the period and important to the progression of the story. Her religious content is not preachy--she is not trying to convert anyone to Mormonism (or as they prefer, Church of Latter Day Saints). So although her heroine's moral questioning and decisions may seem unsympathetic to most modern sensibilities, the sentiments were entirely consistent with the setting and character. I enjoyed the book very much and went on to read the sequel as well.

Another good book of Carl Kellys

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

I loved this book and the first book to this series, Borrowed Light. I thought the characaters were well written and enjoyed reading about her cooking experience for the ranch hands. I have an old Fanny Farmer Cookbook of my mom's and had read about the cooking school in the east. It was fun to read how well the heroine adapts to ranch life. The romance was wonderful - both characters strong in who they are and in their love for each other. Relationships built on respect as is a usual for Ms. Kelly. But there is also a physical realtionship that I thought was well done. I do recommend this book and borrowed light as well.

Loved from start to finish!

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I loved this book! I felt a little in the dark at first because I had not read "Borrowed Light" yet, which I plan to do now, and didn't know the background stories on the characters. But eventually I understood the stories enough to know and love the characters. If you ever read a book and are frustrated because you just want the couple to get together already, this book will make you happy. Julia and Paul love each other from the start and my heart was happy from start to finish. It had romance, intrigue, spirituality, courage, and it was very interesting to learn some of the down and dirty on ranching. Would highly recommend!

I put off reading this one because I loved the first book

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

I put off reading this one because I loved the first book, Borrowed Light, so much. And sometimes sequels disappoint. This one had the opposite effect. I LOVED it. The story unfolded naturally, totally uncontrived but full of surprises, and it meshed perfectly with the story I already loved. Thank you, Ms. Kelly, for another wonderful book!

I just recently found Carla Kelly and find her writings absolutely delightful. I only wish I could get every book she has written because they are morally clean, easy to spend your time and makes one laugh. Great way to relax and feel good when one finishses her book.
