A product of Western forts and the Army military, Rebecca Huntington has developed into an accomplished flirt. She is now heading back West after spending 6 years in the East getting an education.
Rebecca meets Lieutenant Clark Forrester on the train, heading back to her father, who is a commander of one of the forts. She is in the company of her aunt and cousin.
Clark is interested in the vixen, Rebecca. But Rebecca's father is a no-nonsense military-sort, who could offer Clark a court-martial instead of his daughter's hand.
The author knew a great deal about forts and that added much to the story.

Randomly decided to pick this off my shelf and read it. It was so good I finished it in only about two days. I bought it a while ago and never thought to read it until now. Definitely worth the read.

Interessante até um certo ponto pelos detalhes sobre a vida dentro de Fortes no século XIX.
Eu perdi um pouco da atenção quando a história começou a focar mais nos conflitos e menos no romance.

This was a quick read... but parts of this book did not age well. There was a lot of unnecessary / inappropriate slut-shaming of the heroine from various characters throughout the book due to her flirtatious nature. Ehhhh, I consider this just another mindless Harlequin read :) Now on to the next one...

A decent historical romance book. Not the type that I usually read but it was a nice change. Fairly predictable throughout the book and drug on at a few points but all in all a quick entertaining read.

¡He aquí la redención de los históricos! Rebeca me cae muy bien, tiene mucha energía y cero vergüenza, mientras que Clark parece un buen tipo, y necesitaba leer eso.
