 You're going to love it! September 6, 2008
This was a good series The Diamond of the Rockies! The story of the struggles of life and relationships but a super ending. You'll want to have all 3 the books before you start to read because you won't want to wait 5 days like I had to because I only had the first two books.
Love her books! April 27, 2008
The final book in the Diamond of the Rockies series, THE TENDER VINE picks up where SWEET BOUNDLESS left off. Wanting to leave behind the pain and hurt the town of Crystal has brought her, Carina asks Quillian to take her home. Trying to salvage the remains of their marriage and repair the emotional hurt they have caused each other, Carina and Quillian look at this as a new start. Unfortunately, all the hurt and pain is not behind them. When Carina's family shuns Quillian and refuses to acknowledge their marriage, Carina is forced to live with her family while Quillian sets out to prove his worth to the DeGratia family. Angered by Carina's broken commitment to him, Flavio, the man she was once engaged to sets out to destroy Quillian and prove to Carina that he is the man for her.
THE TENDER VINE is a wonderful ending to a long and difficult journey for both Carina and Quillian. I thoroughly enjoyed the series, just as I have all of Kristen Heitzmann's books. A great series for readers who enjoy the west.

I got so tired and sad while reading that book because it has too much suffering and disgrace....
I loved the characters, so I would like them to have a better end.
This series is amazing!! April 13, 2005
I had never read any of the author's books before and was overjoyed at how GOOD they are. This series was unbelievable - make sure you have all three books when you start reading because as soon as you finish one, you have to read the next one - they are so good. I have never seen a male character portrayed so well as she did with Quillan - She makes you so relate with the characters and draws you into their lives in such a wonderful way. These books are so good and through it all she weaves God's Word and message into it in such a wonderful way - GREAT BOOKS!!!
The series ends but the characters live on...... February 28, 2005

Quillan has agreed to take Carina back to her beloved Sonoma and family. Their journey is nothing compared to what awaits them when they finally do arrive.... Here is your typical Italian family who demands that protocol be followed, a very handsome (and faithless) ex-lover for whom we have been waiting 3 whole books to find out about, and then there is Papa. All of them will surprise and alternately anger and please the reader.
This last book of the series is probably my favorite. The real, deep and eternal love between Carina and Quillan shows so clearly I just wanted to SHAKE the whole family for their negativity, but, in the process I learned to respect and love Quillan and Carina all the more. Total love is being willing to let go if necessary, however painful.
Filled with lots of action and suspense, obviously, the author could not allow this to be a "happily ever after" without a firey trial of pain, raw emotions and near death for some of the main characters.....without revealing anything, I will just say, buy all three books at one time and you will never have to wait for the sequel..
A very excellent historical, Christian fiction love story and one that older teens should definitely read. Thank you Kristen!
