About this audiobook
Will Sarah’s journey west lead her back into the arms of the one man she can trust?
When her father succumbs to a long illness, Sarah Montgomery is freed from duty to family. At last she can be with the love of her life, Rand Campbell, who has gone out west to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Sarah and her younger brother Joel make the arduous journey filled with hope.
But at Fort Laramie, the reception Sarah meets isn’t what she had hoped for. Her friend Amelia is thrilled to have her, but Rand seems to be in the clutches of Jessica DuBois, the scheming daughter of the post commander.
Sarah resolves to remain at Fort Laramie and try to win Rand back. But things will get tougher before they get easier . . . especially when her ex-fiancé Ben Croftner arrives in Wyoming, obsessed with having her back in his arms.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I want to read the next part of the story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: A Heart’s Obsession (Journey of the Heart #2)Author: Colleen CoblePages: 128Year: 2015Publisher: Thomas NelsonMy rating is 5 out of 5 stars.In this second part of this six-part series, readers resume the story where part one ended. Sarah is living at home on the family farm, taking care of her younger brother and her dying father. Her bully of a brother still has his own plans for Sarah to marry Ben Croftner, even though Sarah has declared she will never marry him. With her father’s passing, Sarah leaves the farm, traveling to Fort Laramie, Wyoming, in the hope of seeing Rand and rekindling their romance. When she arrives, she finds Rand but with an unexpected surprise.Rand has arrived at Fort Laramie and adjusted to cavalry life, which he loves. He doesn’t think Sarah would have liked living out in the middle of nowhere away from her family, so maybe it is a good thing they are no longer together. There is a new commanding officer at the fort, who brings his family along with him including his beautiful daughter, Jessica. She sets her cap for Rand, and Rand welcomes her attention. Is this the end for Rand and Sarah’s relationship?I eagerly snapped this book open immediately after finishing part one and couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. I am so involved in this story. The characters are ones with whom I care about what happens to them. My emotions are engaged, and to me, that is what makes a good fictional romance. There seems to be something not quite right with Jessica, something fishy. I’ll have to read part three to see if I’m right or not, which I will be doing soon. This series might be a few years old, but good writing never goes out of fashion. Be sure to check it out!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story continues with Sarah. She get free from her family. We meet up with a few new characters. So Sarah and Joel decide to leave and go towards Fort Laramie. Wally has other plans. Will he seceded in what he wants for Sarah or will Rachel help her. Rachel is expecting her child soon. Will this make Wally more understanding or not.
Sarah and Joel ride out with Jacob and his wife. Once she arrives in Fort Laramie, sees Rand and she meets Jessica and her mother. She finds out that Rand and Jessica are to marry. In the meantime, Ben is out to get Sarah back in his arms.
We meet two new Indian girls and children. This put Sarah to help teach the children more English. What happens next is surprising. Rand is asked to see this new fur trader. When he finds out who it is. He needs to go ask Sarah if she knew that Ben was back.
You want to find out more about this series. I have reviewed the first book as well. You can check out A Heart's Disguise review here on Nighttime Reading Center. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In book 2 of Colleen Coble’s Journey of The Heart series, A Heart’s Obsession, Sarah Montgomery and Rand Campbell struggle with changing allegiances and love lost. As the action shifts from Wabash, Indiana to Fort Laramie, Wyoming deep in the heart of Indian country, the action heats up. Life in the west is just different — white women are in short supply and Indian brides are common and prejudices are rampant. This 98 page novella advances the plot quickly and characters are not as well-developed as in full-length novels, but Coble does not stint on historical details or on romance. A Heart’s Obsession was just the read I needed. Lucky for me though, I have book 3 on hand as book 2 leaves Sarah longing for a lost love and Rand set on sticking to his promises. Another great choice for fans of Coble’s historical romances.Recommended.Audience: older teens and adults.(Thanks to LitFuse for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Heart’s Obsession is the second book in Colleen Coble’s Journey of the Heart series, and like the first we are left with a cliffhanger.When we begin this book Rand has departed for Ft Laramie, Wyoming, Indian Territory. He has left Sarah Montgomery devastated. She is now dealing with the grief of loosing her Dad and the love of her life.She begins her journey to Wyoming with her brother Joel and her best friend Amelia. We are about to experience what she finds when she gets there, and the long arm of evil. The evil appears to come in different forms, and we root for the defeat. Of course the Ben from the first book shows up again, and now there is another person.Another quick read, and has me wanting more, I want to know what happens, and can hardly wait!I received this book through Litfuse Blogger Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.

The story continues as Sarah Montgomery travels through the American West with her brother, Jacob, and his wife, and their younger brother, Joel, to Fort Laramie, Wyoming.Thinking her constant friend, Lieutenant Rand Campbell, will be so pleased to see her, Sarah finds she is mistaken as he has moved on without her. As the tribal chiefs near the fort have asked to have their children schooled, Sarah is requested to teach them English and reading and writing. She makes friends with two of the older teenagers, Morning Song and Ah-ho-appa.Change enters into the lives of Morning Song, daughter of White Raven, and a Sioux chief's daughter, Ah-ho-appa; and those at the fort, Jessica and her mother, Letty, and Amelia. Being introduced to new characters, brings them into the story as we continue to learn of the new life before Sarah at Fort Laramie.Trouble comes when Ben Croftner arrives and causes havoc. Will there be retaliation in the midst of winter, removing peace between the fort and the Indian encampment? (to be continued in next month's issue...)These are the six serial parts published in short installments at regular intervals, as a novel appearing in successive issues of a magazine.
