4.8 out of 5 stars (125)
Red Dickerson is shocked to see a young woman running through the woods in the freezing rain. He’d gone to the far end of Hawk’s Wing Ranch to think after his engagement was broken by the woman he planned to marry. Recognizing her as Gema Volkovichna, one of the women from Sanctuary House, he spurs his horse to go after her. Finding she’s escaped after being kidnapped by the infamous King Gang, he vows to keep her safe.

Gema Volkovichna is one of the newest women to come to Sanctuary House in Stones Creek, Colorado. She came to find work and possibly a husband. When a spring blizzard forces them to spend three days alone in a line shack, there’s only one conclusion. She and Red must marry to salvage her reputation.

Can Gema and Red learn to be husband and wife? Will love grow from this forced marriage? Will the King Gang return to reclaim what they lost? Can Red and Gema learn to dance together to the MUSIC of HER HEART?

    Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017

    Gema is a Russian Immigrant who has been left alone after her family died. She's in Sanctuary House but is kidnapped by a ruthless gang. How can an innocent young girl who's fallen for Red who is quite a bit older than her get him to see her as a real wife not the young bride he was forced to marry. There are several stories at play in this book and lots of danger and extreme rules for propriety. I really enjoyed the book and the characters were wonderful. Because Gema is Russian her English is not good and the author did a great job with her broken and misunderstood English.

    Sophie Dawson's Music of Her Heart is the story of Gema, the Russian immigrant orphan, and Red Dickerson who we met in the Ladies of Sanctuary House, when he was courting Laura, who eventually told him to take a hike. Red is a ranch foreman for Hawk's ranch, and is much older than Gema who is only 20. When Laura tells him she won't let him court her anymore, Red is upset and goes to an outlying line shack on Hawk's ranch to brood and think about where his life is going. Gema is working as a maid at the hotel when she leaves to go to Sanctuary House for lunch when she is kidnapped by the King gang in the alley behind the hotel and taken to their hideout cave. Gema is terrified, and dismayed to see the horrid conditions where the outlaws take her. There are women and children there in rags and fighting the measles epidemic. Before she can be sullied by the uncouth outlaws, one of the women helps Gema escape only to be caught in an icy rain storm before a blizzard overtakes her. Red sees Gema running in the woods behind where he is working, and rescues her. They are stuck inside the line shack for 3 days waiting out the storm and flooded creek they must cross to get back to the ranch and to town. Gema has been compromised by staying out with a man for 3 nights, so Red asks her to marry him. After the wedding, Gema hears a fiddle being poorly played and she longs to play that fiddle as her father sold her beloved Grandmother's violin to pay for their passage to America. Picking up Jeb's fiddle fills Gema with so much joy, and her playing is far superior to Jeb's sawing sounds that Red decides to order a violin for his Gema. The outlaws come back into the story, and it gets exciting for the folks of Stones Creek, and terrifying for Gema and Red. This second story in this series was so very good. I hope many lovers of historical fiction read this series, and I look forward to more stories about the ladies of Sanctuary House in Stones Creek.

    Good story that moves along at a nice pace. Characters well developed and likeable - although the folks at Stones Creek may be just a tad bit too kind and accepting as a whole group to be really human. It’s a nice little trip into what SHOULD be in terms of a community though so still a pleasant read. Worth following this author.

    It seemed like things were finally settling down in Stone's Creek. The leader of the King Gang had been captured and life was getting back to a semblance of normal for the town and Sanctuary Place.
    Gema Volkovichna, new to Sanctuary Place and the town had recently recovered from the measles epidemic that took the lives of both children and adults. She was back at her job as a maid at the local hotel and was walking down the alley way to get lunch at Sanctuary Place when someone grabbed her and threw her over the saddle of a horse. She was being kidnapped. What could she do? No good could come of this. She needed a prince charming to rescue her.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017

    Title: Music of Her Heart

    Author: Sophie Dawson

    Series: Stone Creek Ladies, #2

    Genre: Christian Western Romance

    Era: mid/late 1800s

    Setting: Wyoming (Old West)

    Source: from author (in exchange for honest review)

    Overall Rating: 3.5/5 stars

    I wasn’t sure what to think going into this book. All I knew was the genre and that it involved an arranged marriage (something I’ve become very skeptical of in past years – they tend to have almost-but-not-quite sex scenes, not something I appreciate at all).

    But you know what? I’m glad that I asked to read it! It really was a special book, and I found it pretty entertaining. I did have a few problems (and I did end up finding the content to be a little much) – but, overall, it was a great story!

    PLOT: 3/5
    I felt like a strongly-structured plot was perhaps this book’s weakest point. Just before halfway through the book, about half of the plot was resolved, and I didn’t care about the other half twice as much (especially since I haven’t read the first book).

    It felt that – at times – the story just went on and on, incorporating different scenarios, but never quite adhering to traditional story structure – something that is very necessary for a well-written novel.

    It wasn’t exactly a boring plot, though, and I did enjoy it. I thought it was an intriguing idea, and I found many parts exciting.

    CHARACTERS: 5/5
    Loved the characters! Very well-developed and interesting. They all had different personalities, different quirks, different backgrounds … basically everything that makes a colorful, assorted, attention-grabbing cast was here.

    My favorite was probably Gema. (And yes, I do realize it’s cliche to love the heroine, but how can I help it?) She was just such a sweet character, and I feel so sorry for her! I enjoyed her love of music and her struggles with the English language (just like me! 😉 ).

    Red also seemed like a great guy. It was funny how he thought he was an “old geezer” at thirty-something. That made me laugh.

    The one problem I had was that I struggled to keep them apart (there was a large cast), and I didn’t really know anything about their backgrounds (most of the women had terrible pasts), so I was a bit lost. However, if I’d read the first book, I’m sure it would all make sense, so I won’t detract points for that.

    SETTING: 4/5
    It wasn’t all that notable to me (mostly because it’s a setting I’m pretty familiar with, haha), but it was still well-developed. I loved the descriptions of the terrain, felt they were satisfactory, and couldn’t ask for more or less. Just right.

    I also loved the details about Gema’s Russian background.

    Also, does anyone else really want to get stuck in a blizzard? Not with a man, duh, but in a nice cozy cabin in the mountains? I know it’s terribly inconvenient and you might freeze to death and you’ll be super bored … but I want to. *can’t explain my weird thoughts* I just think it sounds fun!

    WRITING: 5/5
    I enjoyed Sophie Dawson’s writing style. It was very exciting, and it had an air of movement to it, if that makes any sense – almost poetic, but not superfluous. It was also well-edited.

    CONTENT: 3/5
    Language: n/a

    Violence: some shooting (including a gunfight), some blood, a gunshot wound, few to no details, nothing graphic

    Sexual: talk about something being improper (the main characters must marry because they spent several nights together in a cabin, snowed in – nothing happened), kisses and snuggling (not detailed), Gema and Red both fear and then anticipate their wedding night (which they end up delaying several months, though they do share a bed). They think about this a lot. When they eventually consummate their marriage, we know that it happens though it’s not described. Afterwards, they reflect that ‘everything is going all right in that area,’ etc. Gema also asks one of her friends for advice beforehand, and Gema ‘schemes’ to create this perfect ‘wedding night’ scenario which is frankly uncomfortable for me.

    This all worries me, quite frankly. I mean, in some ways I hate to condemn a book when the characters did it ‘right’ – getting married, actually being loving to each other, etc. If I weren’t an unmarried teen, I might not mind it.

    Anyway.

    More Sexual Content:

    Several characters have terrible backstories including rape, prostitution, other sexual abuse, etc. Though it’s not talked about a lot, it is there, and they are fairly frank about it. Women rejoice that Gem didn’t get raped, and her being spared is talked about often. The King Gang has a history of kidnapping women and using them as slaves, also sexually abusing them. It was fairly tastefully handled, but still there.

    Okay for 15+ (possibly with some parental guidance depending upon maturity level). Not recommended for younger teens or middle grade readers. A star removed for content.

    OVERALL: 3.5/5
    Though I really enjoyed this book, I ended up giving it a lower rating due to content. It was just too much for me personally. However, this is no reflection upon the book or author as I am a young unmarried woman – a mature, married woman would be find with this book.

    Anyway, this was an exciting, interesting story. I enjoyed the characters, plot, and setting – as well as the writing – and hope to read more by Sophie Dawson in the future.
