Gold Rush Bride
Marriage to a rough-hewn stranger wasn't part of her plan. Yet here Kate Dennington was, inconveniently married to closemouthed fur trapper, Will Crockett - just to secure her rightful inheritance. She couldn't wait to get home to Ireland - so why did any glimpse of her husband tell her home is where the heart is?
He was a trapper, not a storekeep! How he got tangled up with Kate Dennington and her troubles, Will Crockett couldn't fathom. True, the fire in Kate's eyes made him yearn for home and hearth - but he was an adventurer, not a family man.

Romance storico in stile western con il classico lieto fine: lei e lui si conoscono, entrambi sono nei guai e si odiano, poi si amano e alla fine sono tutti felici e contenti.
Di solito leggo i rosa quando ho bisogno di rilassarmi senza pensare a nulla, proprio perchè sono molto semplici e lineari... e questa estate va così...
Però questa volta tolgo una stellina perchè ci sono alcuni errori di ortografia non giustificabili.

In Gold Rush Bride, Debra Lee Brown introduces us to Kate Dennington who travels to California from Ireland to see her ailing father. Upon her arrival at Tinderbox, she learns she's too late and she also learns that women and foreigners can't own and operate a business in the town.
That's where fur trapper, Will Crockett comes in. She needs a husband so she can pay for her passage back to Ireland. The two are hastily wed but things soon turn out to be a bit more complicated.
Kate is a very spunky, loyal and loving woman. She cares about her family and wants to help them. That's why she hopes to make enough at the store to pay for her passage home and pay off the debt that is owed by her and her family that remained in Ireland. She also seems to find trouble wherever she goes and that makes the story more entertaining.
The problem both Kate and Will share is a lack of trust and too many things they want to keep secret from one another. That really keeps them from coming together faster, even though its quite apparent from the beginning of the story that there's chemistry between them.
This book is very light on the passion, which is actually a little bit unusual for historicals, but the story isn't suited for many passionate romps, so it definitely works.
The only thing that really detracts from the story is the ending. It just comes about too quickly and too easily, but other than that, this was definitely a great read that I would recommend to anyone that likes historical westerns.
