Synopsis from Amazon: "They accused Jessie Hammond's brother of murder. He, of course, was innocent, and as his sister, Jessie felt compelled to prove it. However, first she had to rescue him from the clenches of a duty-bound U.S. deputy.
Frank Hammond's appearance amazed U. S. Deputy Marshal Matthew T. Langtry. The kid didn't have the look of a killer, but Langtry knew looks meant nothing. Hammond was an accused murderer and as an officer of the law, it was Matt's job to take the prisoner in.
Sadly, Jessie's rescue plans go awry and her brother ends up dead. Maybe sometime, in the future, Jessie would put the ugly scene behind her and go on with her life. But right now she had to prove her brother was not a killer, and if the self-righteous U.S. deputy Matt Langtry would not help her, then she would do it alone!"
My Review: Now this was the book I was looking for last week! Historical, wild Wyoming, rugged men, stubborn and tough women, horses, guns, danger and sexual tension you can cut with a butter knife. The book starts out horribly tragic with the death of the MC's brother Frank and from there you can feel Jessie's pain but can't help but be proud of the way she handles everything, even though Matt receives the brunt end of her wrath and pain more often than not. I love reading about how when everything is lost, tough wyoming women find a way to survive. I really enjoyed that this one took place in the Bighorn Mountains, a favorite camping spot of my family's. I enjoyed the characters, Jessie is such a tough, stubborn woman but eventually sees she may not always be right and might not have to always do things alone. Matt, does his duty almost to a fault but can't help but be drawn to Jessie's strength. Morgan, oh gosh I want more Morgan, a good upstanding rancher with a kind heart and a no nonsense attitude. The story line keeps you involved and your heart racing with the danger.

Did Not Finish
November 24, 2020I was enjoying this in the beginning. The hero (a lawman) has to bring the heroine's brother in on suspicion of murder. He handcuffs the brother's hands behind his back (standard procedure). The brother runs off on the horse, falls and can't catch himself and dies of a broken neck. The heroine blames the hero for her brother's death--if he hadn't handcuffed him, her brother wouldn't have died. Interesting setup.
Then the hero hears the heroine crying in the night. She hits him and screams at him for killing her brother. He kisses her to shut her up (ARGH!!!!) and then manually stimulates her to orgasm. Seriously? You go from blaming a man for your brother's death to letting him put his hand between your legs, all within a few seconds? Too contrived for my taste. While I read romance for escapism, I can't suspend disbelief that far.
Elizabeth Lane is very hit-or-miss for me. This one was in the latter group, unfortunately.

"You may not think so now, but you were lucky," Matt said. "I can't imagine anything better than growing up surrounded by so much love."🥀

Frank Hammond has been accused of murder and U. S. Deputy Marshal Matthew T. Langtry is escorting him to Sheridan, Wyoming for trial. Because he is innocent and there is no one to speak for Frank, Jessie Hammond decides to rescue her brother.
Between Jessie's attempted rescue and a gang of angry vigilantes, Frank dies. But Jessie is determined to prove his innocence. She doubts that the marshal will help her and she strikes out on her own.
Jessie has lost her parents, her only sibling and her home. She has lots of anger and gumption without a lot of sense. She acts without thinking of the consequences and this leads her into serious trouble.
Langtry is desperate to find the killer and get Jessie out of harm's way; neither task is easy. This story has lots of action; Jessie spends so much time being Wonder Woman -- she doesn't seem to trust Matt to help her. I got tired of Jessie's lack of planning and plunging into trouble without consideration.
