Series background & context

The heroines in this series are named after flowers, but these books are not delicate. Violet, Primrose, Zinnia, Rosemary, Iris, and Poppy are all pushed into harsh western circumstances where survival comes before romance.

One woman is fleeing with her beloved horse. Another escapes with a baby. Another is wrongly accused and driven out by vicious gossip. Another works undercover and finds herself face to face with a man from her past. The flower names give the series charm, but the stories themselves are about women learning how to stand firm in rough country.

Tanner keeps the books short and readable, with enough danger to matter and enough tenderness to satisfy. The whole series has the feel of transplanted women trying not to wilt, and often discovering that they are stronger than anyone expected.
