The story is that of Julia, a young woman who loves studying geology and other natural sciences. Her home life isn't exactly the most comforting or consistent of places, so she finds her peace in long walks and studying the fossils and rock formations in the cave near her father's house. But when someone steals the rope she uses to climb out of the cave, her world will be changed forever.
The man who owns the land where the cave is located returns to the cave one last evening to try to make his peace with the place which tore his family apart when he was just a boy. As Rafe approaches the cave, he hears a woman crying for help and is forced to enter the cave where so many memories haunt him. As Rafe and Julia try to track down the man who is lurking about Rafe's land, they eventually must choose between each other and their families.
It was an intriguing story, full of danger, humour, and even a little bit of history. While at certain spots the writing style didn't seem consistent with the rest of the book, it flowed easily and the plot unfolded nicely. It was definitely a good Saturday afternoon read!
I think this book is going to be the first in a series of stories about the women who marry the Kincaid men. There are three brothers in the family, so I'm guessing the next story will be about the middle brother Ethan and then finally the youngest brother Seth. You will probably be able to read the other two stories without reading this book first, but I'm guessing that it will help you understand the back story better if you start with Out of Control.
