What the Heart Holds is another sweet addition to the Brothers of Belle Fourche series by Kari Trumbo. Set in South Dakota at the end of the 19th century, readers are introduced to Stephania, a lovely new teacher in the town of Belle Fourche. She finds herself falling in love with one of the Oleson brothers, Arnold who is still pining over the love of his life that died in an accident. Watching their romance unfold was captivating as they seem to go back and forth in their interest for each other, trying to not be hurt or not give hope where there might not be any. Will they be able to move on from the past to have a future together. Although second in the series, it is easily a stand-alone story but I'd recommend reading the first as well. It is interesting to see the characters from the first book and the interaction with those in What the Heart Holds. Readers of historical romance books will not want to miss this one. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audioversion of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own. J. Scott Bennett does a great job narrating Arnold and Stephenia's story, making for an enjoyable listening experience.
