Reviews

[Piper Pringle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this romance! It takes place in the Wild West (United States). Very enjoyable and filled with lots of action and love-to-hate relationship antics.

3.5 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, beautifully written and set sometime in the late 1800's USA. Set mostly in the black hills of South Dakota. The romance was sizzling and steamy in places, although it was very slow burn to start with. Lots of action, gunfights with a plot that was well thought out. 4.5 stars.

Easy read, loved the story, unique plot. Strong hero, not 100% sure about the heroine, came across a bit childish in the beginning instead of strong. Good amount of romance, emotional, and a tiny bit of spice.

Good western romances make me think that camping out in the middle of nowhere with your honey can be a good idea. This is one of those romances. Jill Gregory always does such a nice job describing the landscape that I want to either jump into the story or plan a Wyoming vacation. Her heroes are always perfectly rough, gruff, and lovable, and heroines are almost always beautiful and high spirited.

Melora is a recently orphaned 20 year old left to run her father's failing ranch and care for her sister, who lost the ability to walk after coming across their father's dead body. On the eve of her marriage to this guy named Wyatt Holden, Melora is abducted from her room and taken to the middle of nowhere. Her abductor is Cal, who is super hot and super nice, even though he kidnapped Melora. Despite the awkward circumstances, Melora comes to care for Cal, who she realizes is an honorable man trying to take care of his family, just like she's trying to care for her own. The story really isn't too complicated, but it was sweet and entertaining. I give it 4 stars.

A case of Stockholm Syndrome if I have ever seen one.... except the kidnapper turns out to be the hot hero!
