Today they would pay.
Then she stepped into view and everything changed.
Beautiful and good, what could she be doing with these two?

He owed her.

Good Western
As in most western stories you have good guys a woman in distress and a dream.
This book doesn't let you down. All of the elements for a good story are here and this is just the beginning for this man.
A great way to relax while we are staying home or when we can get on with our lives.

Interesting book
I did enjoy this book a lot. Thorn is a tough stubborn young man with a huge guilt trip he carries with him. But he is just the kind of man the west needed in those days.
The book is good, the story was different but very interesting. I look forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you

A WC. Western Novel/The Trail From Texas to Montana
WC. has. penned a western novel about a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. The drive starts with no problems until his trail riders get drunk and end up in jail. The future rancher pushes his small herd by himself. He braved the weather, locusts, Indians and Whiskey Runners. He finds the woman with the whiskey runners on the way north. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Determination
It takes great determination to take a heard on your own. Meeting people does not make it easier. Determination is what settled the west.

A strong ping cowboy overcomes the odds
Interesting and different story. At least the civil war is over. I hate war! What a waste of life. Fate can come straight at you or in a round-about way. I hope to read about Thorn Marshall and Elly—as well as the little Hereford herd. Never thought I would read a story with a porcupine as the hero.

Loved the story line! Did not like all the bloody stuff but I am sure some one does.
Good book. Kept me interested right to end. Yes I wanted more! I am definitely going to get the next book in line.

A very great series start
This book I picked up knowing nothing about the storyline but I enjoyed it so much I already downloaded the next 4 books in the series. Well written and action filled with a touch of romance. I'm a fan!

Having read several of Cochrane's books, none have disappointed me. I can feel the old west reaching out to my pioneer like soul. Guns shooting, criminals plotting, the good cowboy, and the damsel in distress, you get it all, and crave more.

Great story about old emotional wounds
Can't wait for more. Highly recommended for all readers. What happens to you as a child does not define you.

Good story. Pretty graphic descriptions of killing. Glad Arin and Rufus joined Thorn. Will read next book. Am interested to find out if Thorn succeeds in Montana.

An exciting tale
War is an awful thing and those who take advantage of war to do even more evil are worse.
But good survives somehow.

Great story
Excellent story of how our past can catch up with us but it does not have to effect our future. We can change and accept the goodness.

Short
The story could be a little longer without changing the main theme. Although the story line is good enough that want to read the next book.

Really keeps you hanging in there.
Because it really makes you keep reading page after page after page. Thorn really is a likeable character and really grows in the story.

Excellent western adventure
I enjoyed the set up and beginning that includes high morals, integrity for several follow-up books. I'm ready to read more from Wyatt Cochrane.
