Swept away when her wagon train
attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn't terribly upset
at being separated from the family who raised her. All they've ever done
is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she's rescued by Luke
Stone...so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate
future.
Luke is on a mission to reclaim the
ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property
won't let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meet up with friends who
will help him take back the land, and since he can't just leave Ruthy in
the middle of nowhere, she's going to have to go with him.
But the more time Luke spends around
the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of
things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his
destructive path and be swept away by love?
My Thoughts: I enjoyed this quick read. Western historical romance with a bit of suspense, the storyline was entertaining and I really enjoyed the characters of Ruthy and Luke. I liked the code of honour in the west and how good men (and women!) won't stand by when a wrong has been committed or someone has been mistreated, but will risk their own lives in order to make things right. We could use more of that these days! Definitely showed how tough things were back then, especially for women and children.
Looking forward to the next book in this series.
