This is romance at its best, said Amanda Quick of Honey, the third book in Stef Ann Holm's Brides for All Seasons series. And readers who enjoy their historical romance liberally spiced with passion and laughter are in for another unforgettable treat. HEARTS Suspended for teaching human sexuality to her students, Truvy Valentine has come to Harmony, Montana, to visit her dear friend, Edwina, and try to forget that she will most likely die a tall, athletic old maid. Although she has diligently studied how to choose the perfect mate, no book could prepare her for her attraction to Jake Brewster, a man whose favorite things in life seem to be beer, boxing, and poker. The proud owner of Bruiser's Gymnasium, Jake has little patience for the proper Miss Valentine -- until he gets a taste of what simmers beneath her prim exterior. Trouble is, Jake's not the marrying kind -- not hardly. Soon Truvy is teaching dance classes at Edwina's school and Jake is making her head spin. But the magic they ?nd in each other's arms could turn to heartache unless they can learn to let go of the past and step into the future -- together.

First, it is important to read the four novels of this series in order (see below). This is the absolutely wonderful story of Truvy Valentine and Jake "Bruiser" Brewster. Everything takes place in the delightfully small town of Harmony, Montana.
Truvy Valentine is a dedicated teacher of economics and the athletic coach at St. Francis Academy in Idaho. In her efforts to prepare her young charges for the world they are about to enter, Truvy makes an awful mistake. She teaches about human sexuality and gets caught by the school's director and a major benefactor. Miss Pond, the school's administrator, suggests that Truvy spend the Christmas holidays thinking about staying within the bounds of the instructional guidelines of St. Francis. She tells Tru that she will telegram her when it is safe to call Tru back to teach.
Tru is on her way to see her very-pregnant friend, Edwina Wolcott, in Montana. Instead of Tom or Edwina meeting her train, they send the man who runs the local gym, Jake Brewster. Tru is particularly unimpressed with her escort.
When Tru does not receive the desired telegram (after the Christmas holidays), she takes up the job of teaching dancing lessons for Edwina. Although Tru is a quick study, she has no idea how to teach this subject. The students just happen to be the men from Jake's gym, getting ready for an important physique competition. Jake knows much more about dancing than Tru and eventually teaches her individually prior to her teaching her dancing groups.
Historical tidbits are sprinkled through the pages and characters from previous books in this series join Tru and Jake in HEARTS. This series is a delightful group of Americana stories. 4.5 stars
