Awakened by Helen Hardt

5.0

Nothing better than reading the second generation in your favorite family saga. Dale Steel was adopted into the Steel clan after dealing with horrendous abuse, and as an adult the nightmares are still there. Ashley White comes to the Steel vineyard hoping to learn tricks of the trade to aid in her education to be a Dr. of Wine. Upon their first meeting the recluse and the woman who has a bright future ahead of her instantly connect. But can Dale let her in? Or will the haunting images he still sees at night be too much baggage for him to let someone in? With honest and true family portrayals, Helen Hardt proves once again that the Steel family has so much more to say, and she does it with 5 Star capability. I cannot wait for more in this series!!
