Captive Dawn
He stole her life, her freedom, and future.
Disappearing is the only way to get them back.
Thane MacLaren is the consummate cowboy. His life on the ranch he and his older brother, Bram, are building means everything to him. Catching and taming wild horses, fulfilling Army contracts, and working with the best ranch hands in western Montana is the perfect life. He has no plans to change, until an unconscious, beautiful young woman ends up on their doorstep.
Sophrona Sadie Thompson is on the run. Tired of being controlled by a family who cares nothing for her wishes and a man who only wants to control her, she disappears into the night with few belongings and less money. Her immediate plans are simple. Get as far away from her horrid situation as possible before she’s caught.
Waking up in a strange home with people she’s never met, Sadie can think of nothing except continuing her search for freedom. Knowing her liberty is at risk, and not wanting to put the generous family in danger, she must make a difficult decision—help the struggling new mother with baby twins or disappear.
Believing Sadie is to become important in his life, Thane does everything possible in his quest to keep her close. But threats from men who want to deliver her back to San Francisco persist, posing danger to more than just Sadie.
Will Sadie allow her fear to destroy a future with the man she’s come to love? Or will she fight for the freedom to choose the life of her dreams?
Captive Dawn , book twenty-one in the Redemption Mountain historical western romance series, is a full-length novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.

Great Historical Western Romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2023
I avidly read all of the MacLaren books, so I was thrilled when they showed up on Redemption Mountain! Thane is a handsome cowboy, who along with his brother and sister-in-law, is determined to make their new ranch a rousing success. Sadie is the daughter of a wealthy family who seemingly have sold her to the highest bidder for her hand in marriage. She escapes her keepers and ends up unconscious on the MacLaren's porch. Thane and his sister-in-law law Selina patiently nurse Sadie back to health, but all too soon, Selina is delivering her twins. The MacLarens are as desperate for help as Sadie is for escape, so she reluctantly agrees to stay. As a whole new way of life opens to her, Sadie begins to feel as she might belong, but the danger facing her is ever present and she worries that she might bring harm to those she's beginning to care about and maybe even love.
Another beautiful western love story in this series, and as usual, a social justice theme is included (orphans, battered women) and a new relationship is hinted at. There's also a slight mystery in the ranch that could use a few more details and a couple of intriguing new characters, insuring that there's lots more stories in this wonderful series to tell!

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
While this is a part of a series and the prior characters make multiple appearance at times, you don't have to read them to fully understand and enjoy this story. This is told in a multiple POV format. There is a delightful mix of characters here. Getting various storylines really heighten the anticipation for the next book as well!
Sadie comes to town to escape the vicious and cruel man that her parents promised her in marriage to. Sadie doesn't love or trust the man. When two of his henchmen appear, Sadie makes a run for it. She sprang her ankle in a jump from a second story window and disappears into the night. When a storm impedes her escape, she sees a light in the distance. She collapses mere steps from the ranch house. It isn't until the next morning that she is discovered.
Thane lives with his brother Bram and Bram's wife (Selina) on a ranch. The brothers break wild horses for the military. Thane rescues a young woman who stumbled onto the ranch. Thane talks Sadie into staying and helping Selina with the house work as Selina is close to delivery of a baby (or two)!
There are a few other storylines that are quite intriguing and drew me in for a wild ride in the old wild west!
This is a sweet, clean historical romance that anyone can enjoy.

I just love Ms. Davies’ western stories. Sadie had run away from Ezra who wanted to marry her in San Francisco. The part that made me so unhappy was that her parents didn’t really care what Sadie wanted or how cruel Ezra was, they were determined their daughter would marry him. Of course Ezra sent his goons to find Sadie when she ran away. Sadie had a time getting away from the goons during a storm, and was found the next day unconscious by the McLaren family. Luckily they were a good family who took in Sadie and nursed her back to health. I loved Selina who was Bram’s wife and strong as could be emotionally. Thane was Bram’s younger brother and wanted to do all he could to help Sadie. It was scary at times what Sadie and Selina had to do to protect themselves when the men were gone. I understood why Sadie was so afraid of Ezra. I was so glad that the sheriff in their town was an honorable man and didn’t just take someone’s word, but researched to see what was true. There was another side story happening that was interesting also. I loved the book and strongly recommend reading it. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.

Sadie flees for her life.
Sadie Thompson flees from her hotel room at the St. James Hotel. She has been followed by Ezra, her fiancée henchmen. They followed her from San Francisco. She escapes from the bedroom window but hurts her ankle in the fall. She doesn't care what it takes to get away. It starts to pour a heavy, blinding rain. She crawls and eventually passes out on the McLaren back steps. Thane and his brother and wife find her shivering and feverish. They bring her in and take care of her.
She's afraid to say too much because she doesn't know who to trust. She helps Selina to birth her twin babies. After their birth, she helps to take care of them.
So doesn't want to bring danger to these wonderful people and the babies.
The henchmen come to ambush Thane and his brother. The two women shot their rifles and killed them.
In the meantime, Ezra won't give up on getting Sadie back. He tries everything, but nothing is working.
Follow the adventures that these two people have to go through to fight evil. Also, the stories of a few other townspeople and the possibilities of finding love.
Great story of Shirleen Davies.

As soon as Sadie arrives in Splendor, she escapes from two men working for the man who wants to marry her, who are being paid to bring her back to him in San Francisco. She finds her way to a ranch where Thane and Bram MacLaren live. She ends up on their doorstep, soaking wet and unconscious. Thus begins her journey to a new life far different from the one she left in San Francisco. The story of Sadie’s escape to the MacLaren home and the friendships she finds there sharply contrasts with the fate awaiting her when she is discovered.
In addition to the main story, there is another relationship that bears watching. Martha and Cole seem to be a match, but there are obstacles in their path. And we never did find out what happened to Kevin – that will probably be another story for the future.
Davies’ westerns are an entertaining read. When one book ends, I’m always anxious for the next to begin.

What a pleasure to return to western Montana and the community of Splendor and the surrounding area. It is kind of like coming home and although the main focus of the story is Thane and Sadie, we also get updates on many of the other characters. Sadie has run away from a horrible man and ends up unconscious on the doorstep of the MacLaren ranch. She has no one to help her but this family takes her in and the community supports her as danger comes closer and closer to her doorstep. I felt as though I was living in the area as the story unfolded and am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I loved every minute of this book that immediately pulled me into the middle of all that was happening and I was glued to the book until I read the last word. I love the strong characters, several plots running at the same time filled with danger, mystery and kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the undeniable attraction and sweet romance between Thane MacLaren and Sadie Thompson who is on the run from an abusive relationship. Ms. Davies has given us another must-read so don't miss Captive Dawn. I received an advance reader copy of this book and enjoyed it so much I purchased a copy. This is my voluntary review.

Sadie is on the run from a cruel and abusive finance that she doesn't love and only her parents want the marriage. She takes refuge with Thane. Bram and his wife Seline and finds her true home. Its a sweet story that continues the saga of the McClarens and their families.
Its part of a series but you can absolutely read it as a stand alone. The Characters remind the reader of people they would know in real life and the situations they might encounter back in the days of early settlement in the west. Well worth the time to sit and enjoy this book.

Another plot filled instalment in this wonderful series. Sadie arrives in Splendor at the MacLaren Ranch after running away from her family and abusive fiancé. Selina and husband Bram and his brother Thane move her in to their home to keep Sadie safe from the men her fiancé has sent to take her back to San Francisco. As Thane gets to know Sadie, he is determined to protect her. There are some lovely secondary stories included within the main love story developing between Thane and Sadie.

Sadie was brave to run from corrupt Ezra who is forcing her to marry him. When she shows up injured on their ranch the MacLarens take her in and soon they won’t let her go without a fight. From someone who lived a sheltered life with servants she soon learns the skills of ranch life. Sadie was lucky to stumble upon the town of Spendor where people look out for each other and don’t take the false words of strangers. But Ezra is determined to get her dowry by any means necessary. There was plenty of suspense fighting off the bad guys and a couple of budding romances.

Wonderful historical western with realistic characters. Trent works at a ranch with his cousin Bram. One morning outside the door he finds a soaked and sick woman who turns out to be Sadie. She’s running from her cruel fiancé in San Francisco. There’s action, suspense, mystery, murder and romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I chose to write this review and I look forward to reading future books by Ms Davies.

So happy to visit Splendor, Montana, again. Two of the MacLaren sons have moved from the California family ranch, started a horse ranch here in Montana, and babies are born in the household. Finding an unconscious female on the doorsteps begins another adventure. There’s lots of action around the ranch that involves the ranch hands, wild horses and preventing a kidnapping. Thanks for great writing and bringing us up to date on the happenings on the Western frontier.

I always enjoy reading more about the MacLaren's. Thane and Sadie have a different beginning. She ends up passed out on his porch after fleeing from a marriage she does not want. These two have an immediate attraction but so many things happening in their lives keep them apart in the beginning. I enjoyed Bran and Selena 's twins and catching up with them. I can't wait for Cole and Martha to get a story. This book grabbed me from the beginning and I read it straight through
May 23, 2023
A fabulous story full of action that will keep you up most of the night turning the pages with expectations of what's to happen. Somethings were left to the imagination as we never discovered the full truth, and others were almost to unbelievable. Another MacLan arrived from from California to settle in the Splendor area with Bram and Thane. Enjoy another great read to a wonderful series.
June 2, 2023
I love this series and this addition in no exception. Thane and Sadie's story is adorable yet filled with action. I really enjoyed Sadie's backstory and the fact she is not a "damsel in distress". I will say the ending surprised me. It is a nice twist from the normal (but still a happy ever after). I can't wait for the next one.

Shirleen Davies knows how to capture a reader. She draws you into the story, holds on to you and makes you never want to leave. She gives us romance, humor, danger and a few surprises and twists. Can’t wait for the next book.

I enjoyed this book and this series. This book is about Saphrona "Sadie" and Thane. Sadie is running from two men hired by her ex-fiancée. He is after her for her parents money. Her parents are no help since they like Ezra. Sadie runs at night and ends up on Thane's doorstep. Thane welcomes her and her problems.
Sadie is afraid of Ezra and his money. He always gets what he wants. Then Thabe;s sister-in-law has twins and Sadie is needed more than ever. She doesn't want to leave the ranch but she's putting them all in danger.
