Rancher Craig Harris and veterinarian Tamera Collins clash from the moment they meet. Innocence is pitted against arrogance as tempers rise and passions ignite to form a love as pure as the finest gold, fresh from the crucible, and as strong as steel. Thrown together amid tragedy and unsated passion, Tamera and Craig share a strong attraction that neither accepts as the first stages of love.
Torn between desire and dislike, they must make peace with their pasts and God in order to open up to the love blossoming between them. It is a love that nothing can destroy when they come to understand that only when hearts are tempered, minds are opened, and wills are softened can man discern the will of God for his life.
Tempered Fire, Book #3 in the Tempered series is scheduled for release on audiobook this month.

Q&A with Tamera Collins of Tempered Hearts
- What’s your name?
- Tamera Collins
- Where did you grow up?
- Greenville, MS
- During what time period does your story take place?
- Depending on who you’re talking to the 70’s are either contemporary or Historical LOL!
- What’s your story/back story? Why would someone come up with a story about you?
- I grew up an only child with a passion for horses. As a young teen I decided I wanted to be a Veterinarian and specialize in caring for these beautiful creatures. Since I went to private school, it was easy to take extra classes and college courses and to finish my degree in Veterinary Medicine by the time I was twenty four. I’m not sure why Pamela chose to write my and Craig’s story, but I’m glad she did.What’s your goal in this story? To be healed of my grief and to find a way to cope with my parents’ and fiancé’s deaths and to simply do my job as summer Vet on the Rockin’ H ranch to the best of my ability. I didn’t expect to fall in love….
- What conflicts are you facing?
- Working for an arrogant jerk cowboy! At least that is my initial opinion of Craig Harris, heir to the Rockin’ H ranch in Bandera, TX and indirectly my boss. His grandfather is the one who actually hired me. He’s pretty jaded and chauvinistic when we first meet, but Craig and I learn to get along.
- Do you have a plan for resolving them?
- I’ve found that God and time have a way of resolving things much better than we can on our own and that we’d do well to just keep moving forward, do the best we can and trust that all things work together for good.
- Is there anything else you’d like us to know about you?
- Not necessarily just me but women in general….no matter how strong we are, how talented or smart, we still need tender care, nurturing and a strong man to be our helpmate in life. Ladies, if you find one, don’t let him get away! And gentlemen, if you find a strong woman, be her equal, not her opposite. You’ll both be better off lifting one another up instead of tearing each other down.

Audiobooks can be comforting when one doesn't have to energy to read or watch tv or for a pleasant diversion from the news. Your book sounds like a heartwarming listen.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO right, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.

This is a lovely story. And I didn't realize it was set in the 70s!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean it's timeless Alina? ;-)
DeleteTHANKS!
Good luck and God's blessings
PamT
I want to also know can man discern the will of God for his life?
ReplyDeleteGood question Peggy! For me it's getting quiet, listening and obeying but a sure tell sign is if you're in complete PEACE - heart peace cause the mind will drive you crazy LOL - anyway if you're in PEACE about the situation you're seeking HIM for then chances are you are in His will.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and God's blessings!
PamT
Why did neither accepts as the first stages of love? You can't fight love.
ReplyDeleteAnother good question Peggy!
ReplyDeleteCraig doesn't accept his feelings for Tamera as the first stages of love because he's jaded...been hurt and used and 'loved' only for what he has, not who he is. As for Tamera, she's hurting over the loss of her parents and fiance and Craig's attitude sparks her temper so.....
THANKS for these discussions
Good luck and God's blessings

At my age the setting is contemporary not historical. :-(
ReplyDeleteI hear ya Peggy LOL!
ReplyDeleteAs you say innocence is pitted against arrogance, that is a real life situation.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Peggy it sure can be!
ReplyDeleteI like that you say to other women that they don't realize how strong we are
ReplyDeleteWe all have an inner strength, the strength of God within us but unless we realize that and tap into it, we will remain victims of our own circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy!
PamT
I like that you talk about minds being opened and wills being softened.
ReplyDeleteSomething I learned in my long walk with the Lord. Our wills have to be softened because God will not infringe on the gift of free will He gave us and our minds have to be opened to trust what He is telling us.
ReplyDeleteI like your message about finding a good mate and not letting them get away.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's important to not let our gifts from God get away despite the work it may take to nurture and maintain a relationship.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, the horses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThere are horses on many of my covers.
Check 'em out!
