Another wonderful old western romance by Aurora Hanson. This one brings Adrian ,a rancher and Roxie a teacher together caring for a baby found on his ranch. The author takes you into their lives with a story of faith, hope and a newfound love and kept me turning the pages with adventure, mystery and danger. She moves the story fluidly and delivers a heartfelt Christmas read.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and are freely given.

This is the first book that I read from author Aurora Hanson, and I liked it. It is book 4 of 14 in the "Brides of the Untamed Frontier" series. There is quite a bit happening in this story, with a baby being found and the baby's father being found dead. It is an old Western Romance, and it makes me want to go back and read books 1-3 to see if this is a read-alone or a continuation of the series. I got it on Amazon Books Unlimited for free because it was a Christmas story.
