Callahan-Warren #3
Marry Me by Sundown
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Tempest and Make Me Love You brings her “mastery of historical romance” (Entertainment Weekly) to 1880s Montana where passions and gold fever run high as an American heiress turns to a rugged mountain man to help her locate her father’s fortune.
After a social whirlwind in London, Violet Mitchell is summoned back to Philadelphia only to discover her family living on the edge of financial ruin while their father seeks new wealth in Montana’s gold fields. With the family’s home and social standing at risk, Violet makes a drastic decision.
Meanwhile, Montana rancher Morgan Callahan rode away from his family’s cattle farm to make his own fortune. Now as he finishes exploiting a mother lode of silver, a young woman claiming to be his late partner’s daughter turns up wanting to be taken to her father’s mine. Suspecting that the pretty schemer works for the mining outfit that is trying to steal his land, he has no qualms about snatching her and holding her at his camp where she can do no harm.
But he underestimated the new thorn in his side. Determined to claim what rightfully belongs to her family, Violet summons up the courage and grit to cope with the hazards and discomforts of an untamed land and the disturbingly masculine stranger who holds her fate in his hands. But an error of judgment brings down a hailstorm of danger that upends her plans and deepens her bond to a man who may turn out to be all she desires. With her signature “strong characters, humor, interesting plots—and, of course—romance” (The Cincinnati Enquirer), Johanna Lindsey crafts another irresistible and adventurous love story.

I kept rolling my eyes. Starting with the improbable premise that Morgan Callahan kidnaps Violet Mitchell in the middle of the night from a hotel. Morgan believes that Violet is either an actress or a harlot, who is working with a man who is trying to steal or scam him out of his mine. Violet insists she is the daughter of his deceased partner and wants him to show her the mine location. Why didn't Morgan just disappear and leave her at the hotel? She didn't even know what he looked like. He rarely came to town, and it was highly unlikely that she would ever find him as his claim was in the hills of wilderness Montana. Violet gets upset when Morgan leaves her behind in a cave. All Violet had to do was walk out on her two feet. Violet grated on my nerves at times. The plot continued to be too orchestrated and unrealistic. The author kept telling instead of showing. Frankly, I was disappointed. I felt like this was written by someone different than those of her prior books that I have really enjoyed over the years.

5/5 estrellas
De entrada decir que ésta novela es cien por cien Lindsey y me ha encantado.
Es el tercer libro de la serie “Callahan-Warren”; Los anteriores son “Un corazón por conquistar” y “Corazón Fugitivo”, éstos dos libros yo me los leí hace un par de añitos. Como dice la sinopsis, es la historia de Violet Mitchell una joven de dieciocho años y la cual desde hace nueve años vive con sus tíos Elizabeth y Lord Edmund Faulkner y sus seis hijas en Londres, luego del fallecimiento de la mamá de Violet y sintiendo la carencia materna, su tía Elizabeth decide llevarla con ella para que finalice la escuela y sea presentada en sociedad. La historia comienza con una fiesta de despedida que le hacen a Violet su tía Elizabeth y su prima Sophia, porque nuestra protagonista ha recibido una carta de sus hermanos gemelos, Daniel y Evan donde le dicen que debe regresar de inmediato a Filadelfia, pero no le especifican la razón de la urgencia. Allí en esa parte de Estados Unidos han quedado su padre Charles y sus dos hermanos, con los cuales se comunicó por medio de cartas durante todo ése tiempo. Ya habían pasado cinco años desde la última vez que se vieron cara a cara por un viaje que hicieron éstos últimos hasta Londres.
Violet ha sido presentada en sociedad allí y lo que tiene en mente es casarse con un inglés y espera que su padre le dé su consentimiento, aunque el deseo de éste será todo lo contrario: Que termine la escuela y regrese definitivamente a Filadelfia, pero Violet en su primera fiesta se ha enamorado de un futuro vizconde: Elliot Palmer, de todo tal que su intención es resolver rápidamente el problema allí en Filadelfia y luego embarcarse en otro barco y regresar a Londres antes de una semana.
Y así sucederá, sólo que al poner pie en la casa de su infancia, se da cuenta que las cosas no están para nada bien. La primera en desertar es su doncella Jane, quien al ver el panorama no duda en regresar a Londres.
Violet descubre a sus dos hermanos al borde de la ruina financiera, su hogar en peligro al igual que su posición social, pero no es lo único, sino que su padre se ha marchado hacia el Oeste para hacer fortuna en busca de una mina de oro, malgastando su propia herencia para semejante aventura. Violet se encuentra con la noticia de que los gemelos quieren casarla con el banquero Perry para que éste así cancelara inmediatamente la liquidación del préstamo y resolver el problema de la casa, que están a punto de perderla. Perry no es joven ni agradable: es todo lo contrario pero los gemelos quieren hacer un matrimonio concertado ahí en América, cuando en realidad el sueño de Violet es casarse en Inglaterra.
A medida que van pasando las horas y la joven dama se entera de todos los problemas y deudas económicas, decide tomar el toro por las astas y salvar así a sus hermanos y padre de los acreedores. Lo tiene todo planeado, porque lo que desea y lo que siempre tiene en su cabeza, es regresar a Londres lo más pronto posible, pero para ello, Violet debe conseguir la manera de llegar a la mina en donde se encuentra trabajando su padre, pero es muy difícil porque los lugareños le dan cierta información general de la ubicación de las minas pero no mucho más y algunos no están dispuesto a ayudarla. Después de muchas advertencias, idas y venidas, a Violet le informan que el único que sabe cómo llegar a la mina de Charles Mitchell es Morgan Callahan, un hombre que a Violet no le será nada fácil dar con él y cuando lo hace es por medio de una manera bruta.
Morgan pertenece a una familia muy conocida allí en Filadelfia y propietarios de extensos ranchos: Es hijo de Zachary Callahan y Hunter (del libro “Un corazón para conquistar”) es su hermano mayor.
Éste personaje a mí me ENAMORÓ desde que la autora empieza a describirlo. ¡Madre mía! ¡Qué hombre! Es digno hijo de Johanna Lindsey: Morgan es ermitaño, vive en las montañas prácticamente solo, “se comporta como un oso” y baja poco a la ciudad; Él es rudo e insociable para una mujer como Violett; de él se cuentan muchas historias, entre ellas que es la oveja negra de la familia Callahan, que es arisco y más malo que el demonio. Es tan ermitaño que no le tiembla el pulso para apretar el gatillo de su escopeta siempre y cuando sea para cuidar su refugio de los extraños.
Más no quiero contarles porque a partir de aquí la novela se vuelve maravillosa. Es una historia que me hizo suspirar de amor, reír con los diálogos cortantes entre los personajes y ésa comparación entre un hombre del Oeste y una mujer que viene de la sociedad victoriana. Johanna Lindsey me ha vuelto a enamorar una vez más con su prosa divertida, ágil y muy romántica, tan característico de la novela romántica, transportándome hacia aquellos novelas ochentosas, porque ni Morgan ni Violet quieren dar el brazo a torcer, pero es una historia de amor y, poco a poco tendrán que ceder. Imaginen las mil y una que tendrá que pasar nuestra heroína allí en el Oeste americano, para alguien como ella que viene de un Londres victoriano: hasta el desmayo no se detiene.
“Te amaré hasta el amanecer” es una novela que recomiendo leer sobre todo quienes nos iniciamos en éste género con ésta autora. Es bueno volver a leer a éste icono de la romántica adulta.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Marry Me by Sundown is the latest release in the Callahan Warren series and its also the last book published by this author (as many know she passed away...RIP Johanna Lindsey). I will admit that the moment that I started to listen to this one the feelings I was going into it with were very bittersweet. I was excited to be able to get back to the Callahan-Warren world but I was also saddened in knowing this is one of the last books this author would ever publish. And this story lived up to my expectations and quite frankly I had no idea what I was going into until I started to listening to it and it was NOT what I expected but then that is the par for course for this series. She has really written a set of books that are so unique in their way that sets them apart from other books in typical Lindsey style.
Marry Me by Sundown features our two protaganists: Violet and Morgan. Violet was sent to England by her aunt to live with them, as she didn't care for how uncivilized and tom boy like Violet was becoming living in a house full of only men with no female role model. And now she has spent years in England and accustomed to her life there despite how much she misses her father and brothers. But when she receives a desperate letter for her to return home, she knows its not a prank. But when she comes home, her father has migrated for work and the silver/gold rush out west, her brothers are barely making it by, and their family mansion is about to be sold off to pacify the creditors. So knowing she has limited time, she goes out west determined to find her father and the money he promised to keep their ancestral home. But instead of finding her father, she learns he is dead and she is being kidnapped by his partner of all people who thinks she is in collusion with his enemy that want their mine. Now Violet has to prove to this bear of a man that she is who she says she is and to give her family they need desperately. But soon Violet and Morgan in the western plains of Montana find a love they never expected to find, but Violet will have to choose the wild west or society in England.
Marry Me by Sundown was a HOOT of a read, I can't tell you all how much I had a blast with this book and I just couldn't put it down at all because these two were so entertaining together. I am not always in the "mood" for a enemies and lovers trope but Lindsey definitely worked her magic with this story and I couldn't help but fall in love with it. I know this book received quite a few mixed reviews but I can tell you right now I had a ball of a time. The chemistry between these two is fiery sweet. Both of them know there is more than just captor and captive type of relationship. And despite the beginning where the hero kidnaps the hero, Violet doesn't really fear him. She has enough courage to spit verbal fire his way and doesn't back down. Violet understands his purpose and is only trying to reach an understanding with him.
I know the heroine in this book is NOT for everyone, and even though this narrator wasn't my favorite to listen to especially in the heroine's dialogue, I grew charmed by her. I liked that she stood by who she is and didn't apologize for it despite she being out of place in the west culture. Now our hero, he was fun. Morgan is determined to make his own way in the world apart from his family's wealth and wants to do it with the mine. He is no pansy and is determined to not let the mine fall into the wrong hands. He has a enemy that will do anything to create more power and wealth in his domain, and Morgan is a threat to him.
Both of these characters have a relationship that definitely has its rocky starts but I grew to fall in love with the rocks and seeing them learn to build a trust together. I was definitely charmed in seeing them come together in this book and they are definitely opposites attract in this book. I was intrigued in seeing how they would reach their happy ever after, because they are so different and at the beginning have different goals. But it ends up beins pure perfection seeing them find the balance in their relationship, defeat the villain, a miracle forming and finding their destiny ...together.
Overall I found myself captivated by Marry Me by Sundown and Johanna Lindsey captures the magic of the gold rush and the sensuality that builds between these two. FANTASTICALLY PENNED!

De vez en cuando me gusta encontrar historias como esta relajantes que me hagan soltar algunas risas. Fue refrescante leer sobre unos protas que nada tienen de traumas del pasado, que son felices y tienen alguno que otro problemita.
Una lectura muy entretenida que deseaba nunca terminar pero a la vez no podía parar de leer. Morgan y Violet son personajes que me encantaron y sacaron más de una sonrisa con sus peleas divertidas pero cargadas de mucha atracción. Ese oso malhumorado y tosco que no sabe nada de modales ni etiqueta y ella esa señorita remilgada, mandona y elegante siendo secuestrada y tratada sin las normas adecuadas exigiendo etiqueta en medio de la nada? Ay como disfrute cómo ella quería mantener la sofisticación y refinamiento en la interperie. Es recordarla sentada de lado en una mula con un parasol intentando no caerse y es para volver a reír😆.
El romance fue como tomar un chocolate calientito. Delicioso. Se dio lento y en medio de disputas, tiroteo y muchas risas y compaginidad. Violet y Morgan aparte de la atracción y sus peleas se llevaban y entendían a profundidad. Eran amigos, confiaban en el otro. Y eso es algo que me gusta encontrar en los protas que aparte de que se atraigan también tengan una relación de amistad bonita.
Lo unico molesto es que no había un bendido epílogo😔. Eso No Se Hace.

Sigh. Is this the same Johanna Lindsay from 30 years ago? Sadly no. Not even close.
First, the narrator for the audiobook was awful. Horrible British accent.
No magic, no chemistry, no romance. It’s hard to have those things when you have boring characters.
Do yourself a favor and read all the books from the 80’s and 90’s.

Let me preface this by saying I prefer Regency romance to Western. That being said, this was surprisingly good!
Plot:
Violet who had been raised in England for years came home to America only to find her house devoid of furniture, her father missing, and no fortune left to her family's name. She's determined to look for her father, who ventured west to mine silver, but she met his business partner instead- more like he kidnapped her to find out what she's up to.
Review:
I'm surprised to have enjoyed this as much as I did, especially the middle. It was fun and entertaining. A bit enemies to lovers, but not so much. They just bicker, and rightly so. Anyway, I LOVE how Morgan love brushing her hair. He cooks for her, took care of her, and found any reason to touch her. He just Likes her ok, and I'm a sucker for crushing men. Like yes! cook and say the heroine's pretty.
Ignore the cover he's not supposed to be like that. He's described as a bear. like, manly big hairy and masculine. To the point our dear heroine, the prissy miss proper forgot about her english boys and went hmmm i like manly men! She's practically drooling for him and when they first did it she was like "😮😮🤤🤤👅 yes please take me!!" 🤣🤣 She wasn't scared at ALL.
There were funny moments and I do love their banter, but there are a couple of stuff that could be better.
1. It took a while for the book to pick up.
They didn't even meet in the first 50 pages; the man is basically nonexistent.
In its defence, we needed background on what happened, but still it took way too long. JL even gave us a couple of pages of a sideplot/cameo from other character's in her other books from the same series which was so UNNECESSARY! why am I watching this random guy shoot BEFORE I meet the HERO???? and more importantly WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
2. Plot convenience.
Some stuff happens that doesn't make sense imo, it's clearly just for plot conveniece and could be written better. Like, if he didn't believe she was his partner's daughter why did he take her to the location he was trying to hide? It's literally the OPPOSITE of what you should do???
Or how we spent a huge chunk of the book with him not believing she was his partner's daughter, yet she convinced him with a paragraph of information and stories??? GIRL???? You spent DAYS with this man. You could have said so AGES ago!! She wasn't even gagged bro, she could speak just fine.
3. Too many damn fan service/cameo
At some point you could say it's excessive. This one's really it for me. What do you mean we get 10 pages of this Degan stranger who I didn't know and is not even in the family.
I mean, it sounds interesting but I don't need to get that much preview! Also a whole page of preview for Morgan's brother's book too. I mean, one character preview is fine, but TWO????? JOHANNA RELAXXX!
4. Last section of the book is like a different book.
I don't know, I feel like the characters changed by the end, and I didn't swoon or feel that much. I'm convinced Johanna took a sabbatical before writing the last 100 pages or something. It just doesn't make sense. Morgan isn't gruff anymore, and Violet isn't prissy anymore, so I'm kind of left with two characters who's just shy and liked each other but have done nothing. Literally.
The protectiveness of Morgan isn't there, even his poutiness or his jealousy. He was just... agreeable and go with the flow, which was NOT like him. HELLO? He kidnapped her at the beginning?
There's too much going on with the mining business and them living with his parents and too much unnecessary information and less and less romantic moments. I swear it's just other people's stories by the end. The romance is little to none. I like it better when they're alone in the cabin.
Conclusion:
Other than that the book is good. I thoroughly enjoyed the middle, have I mentioned that? There's sufficient drama (in the middle) with kidnapping and shooting and killing (in the middle), enough tension(in the middle), and the fluff is fluffing.
It was a huge chunk of middle, okay?
Anyway, spice is low, not that graphic and very quick. But what can I say? I enjoyed it and it's easy to read. A full day of reading this after a book slump! That's that.
I read this for Bingo (box North America) and received a copy from my GR friend Laura! She's a gem.

Violet who had been raised in England for years came home to America only to find her house devoid of furniture, her father missing, and no fortune left to her family's name. She's determined to look for her father, who ventured west to mine silver, but she met his business partner instead- more like he kidnapped her to find out what she's up to.
Review:
I'm surprised to have enjoyed this as much as I did, especially the middle. It was fun and entertaining. A bit enemies to lovers, but not so much. They just bicker, and rightly so. Anyway, I LOVE how Morgan love brushing her hair. He cooks for her, took care of her, and found any reason to touch her. He just Likes her ok, and I'm a sucker for crushing men. Like yes! cook and say the heroine's pretty.
Ignore the cover he's not supposed to be like that. He's described as a bear. like, manly big hairy and masculine. To the point our dear heroine, the prissy miss proper forgot about her english boys and went hmmm i like manly men! She's practically drooling for him and when they first did it she was like "😮😮🤤🤤👅 yes please take me!!" 🤣🤣 She wasn't scared at ALL.
There were funny moments and I do love their banter, but there are a couple of stuff that could be better.
1. It took a while for the book to pick up.
They didn't even meet in the first 50 pages; the man is basically nonexistent.
In its defence, we needed background on what happened, but still it took way too long. JL even gave us a couple of pages of a sideplot/cameo from other character's in her other books from the same series which was so UNNECESSARY! why am I watching this random guy shoot BEFORE I meet the HERO???? and more importantly WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
2. Plot convenience.
Some stuff happens that doesn't make sense imo, it's clearly just for plot conveniece and could be written better. Like, if he didn't believe she was his partner's daughter why did he take her to the location he was trying to hide? It's literally the OPPOSITE of what you should do???
Or how we spent a huge chunk of the book with him not believing she was his partner's daughter, yet she convinced him with a paragraph of information and stories??? GIRL???? You spent DAYS with this man. You could have said so AGES ago!! She wasn't even gagged bro, she could speak just fine.
3. Too many damn fan service/cameo
At some point you could say it's excessive. This one's really it for me. What do you mean we get 10 pages of this Degan stranger who I didn't know and is not even in the family.
I mean, it sounds interesting but I don't need to get that much preview! Also a whole page of preview for Morgan's brother's book too. I mean, one character preview is fine, but TWO????? JOHANNA RELAXXX!
4. Last section of the book is like a different book.
I don't know, I feel like the characters changed by the end, and I didn't swoon or feel that much. I'm convinced Johanna took a sabbatical before writing the last 100 pages or something. It just doesn't make sense. Morgan isn't gruff anymore, and Violet isn't prissy anymore, so I'm kind of left with two characters who's just shy and liked each other but have done nothing. Literally.
The protectiveness of Morgan isn't there, even his poutiness or his jealousy. He was just... agreeable and go with the flow, which was NOT like him. HELLO? He kidnapped her at the beginning?
There's too much going on with the mining business and them living with his parents and too much unnecessary information and less and less romantic moments. I swear it's just other people's stories by the end. The romance is little to none. I like it better when they're alone in the cabin.
Conclusion:
Other than that the book is good. I thoroughly enjoyed the middle, have I mentioned that? There's sufficient drama (in the middle) with kidnapping and shooting and killing (in the middle), enough tension(in the middle), and the fluff is fluffing.
It was a huge chunk of middle, okay?
Anyway, spice is low, not that graphic and very quick. But what can I say? I enjoyed it and it's easy to read. A full day of reading this after a book slump! That's that.

Soy generosa con las novelas ambientadas en el Oeste, y es que me encantan y, como hay pocas, las disfruto desde la primera hasta la última página. Puede que esta, objetivamente, mereciera 4 estrellas y no 5, pero a mí me ha encantado, toda. Solo me chirría un poquito que la protagonista tenga 18 años y más carácter que muchas de 28. Constantemente me olvidaba de lo joven que es hasta que me chocaba algún comportamiento propio de su edad. Así que, bueno, es una protagonista "hecha a medida" para una historia muy bien orquestada, que se lee con facilidad (como la mayoría de las novelas de Lindsey) y que te transporta a aquellas tierras inhóspitas del Oeste.
El protagonista masculino es un excelente personaje, lo adoras desde el primer momento, aunque cueste saber de él. Porque la autora vuelve a narrarnos la historia desde el punto de vista de ella en casi todos los capítulos (aunque sea en tercera persona es casi como una narración en primera), igual que en la anterior entrega, pero en esta tenemos la suerte de que él interacciona mucho más con ella, por lo que pronto lo vamos conociendo y queriendo. La relación entre los dos es de las que avanza despacio y algo a trompicones, pero se palpa el cariño y cómo va creciendo. Y los secundarios están muy bien diseñados, sin que sobre ni falte ninguno.
Si te gusta el subgénero del Oeste, no dejes de leer esta novela. Y la recomendaría también a cualquiera que le guste la romántica, excepto si solo buscas el glamour de los aristócratas o el atractivo de los millonarios contemporáneos.

I am of two minds of this one. It had a good non-romance story. One of those classic stories of the West where there is a dastardly businessman who controls the economic future of a whole region. (That could never happen today.)
Enter obstinate independent businessman. Add little Miss Pluck who is trying to save the inheritance of her brothers. Threats to life and virtue. Obstinate businessman turns out to have a heart of gold (well, silver).
My problem was the romance part. Not, that they didn't have chemistry... eventually. The problem for me was you couldn't see it until the 2nd half of the book when the author FINALLY gave us a glimpse of the hero's feelings and thoughts. I have always liked the books where we get to see both sides. But in this one, we didn't really get that. We saw his actions, we heard his voice, but no point of view for over 100 pages. That's why I gave this only 3 stars.

Un romance histórico complejo en el que dos polos opuestos se verán unidos por la adversidad, su inédita situación y su forma despreciarse harán que la lectura sea amena mientras vamos avanzando en la trama secundaria. Me ha parecido una aventura entretenida con la que disfrutar de aquellos complicados años y conocer un poco más a fondo el Oeste y sus dificultades.

The second half of this historical romance was exciting but it was slow going getting there. I liked the plot and action when it happened. I waffled on the characters believability; sometimes their behavior seemed genuine and other times unrealistic. Violet travels from London to Montana to fix her families financial problems where she must deal with Morgan to claim her father silver mine.

This is book #3 in the Callahan-Warren series.
Another sexy Callahan is taken down by Cupid's love bow.
I can't say enough how much I enjoy JL's books! Her characters are real, flawed, funny, gruff, and oh so human that each book is an amazing journey to experience and remember.
The Old West is a fascinating place full of danger and beauty. Flat rolling plains giving way to mysterious mountains......and lots of dust! Our story takes place in those mysterious mountains as Morgan Callahan sets out to achieve his dream of striking it rich by finding silver ore. We first met Morgan back in One Heart to Win (Callahan-Warren, #1) as he was going head-to-head with his ranching father about leaving the family ranch to achieve this pipe dream.
Violet Mitchell, on the other hand, is not used to dirty smelly men or the uncivilized West. She gets an urgent letter from her brothers calling her back to the US right before her first London season begins. She hopes whatever calamity awaits her can be solved ASAP so she can get back to the Season and her aristocrat. Finding her father missing and their money gone. She set out across the country watching as civilization gets more primitive until she is in the lawless West.
Getting kidnapped by a big smelly hairy giant was not in her plans, but she handles it. Finding out that the big hairy brute was her father's partner was a plus. He doesn't buy her story and thinks she is some paid actress hired to find out the location of his claim by his enemies. Mayhem follows as she tries to prove her claim and he tries to get to the bottom of it.....and along the way they of course fall in love.

Una ambientación en donde las minas son lo primero, el dinero es poder, pistoleros y bandidos están listos para hacer de las susyas, un romance que se va fraguando entre dos contendientes que te harán pasar de todo y por supuesto, la búsqueda más descarnada que no sabes si es la del corazón o la riqueza harán de TE AMARÉ HASTA EL AMANECER una obra de esas que disfrutas, de las que nos han entregado estas diosas de la literatura que nos hace cerrar y decir... me encanta, no solo por el romance, sino por todo lo que hay alrededor que es tremendo.
Tenía un montón, casi dos años sin leer a Johanna Lindsey pero me ha vuelto a conquistar con esta delicia que espero le des una oportunidad ¡Feliz lectura|

Maravillosa.
Desde el verano me he puesto al día con los últimos libros publicados de Lindsey, en especial con los ambientados en el Oeste americano y encantada que me he quedado sobre todo con este y más exactamente con ellos, Morgan y Violet.
Me he reencontrado con la Lindsey de los inicios. Divertida e irónica. Con dos protagonistas que tan pronto se atraen como se alejan, no saben como expresar lo que sienten y la química que tienen da pie a escenas increíbles, ya sea pescando, montando a caballo o aprendiendo a disparar.

Una historia de amor apasionada con el salvaje Oeste como telón de fondo.
Te amaré hasta el amanecer de Johanna Lindsey es una historia intensa y adictiva donde dos personas muy distintas tendrán que aprender a convivir para llevar a buen término una asociación que sobrepasará los límites de lo profesional cuando el amor los haga arriesgar su propio corazón.

Violet is unlikable. She's ghastly, whiney and totally spoiled. I hate her and I can't see how anyone would want to be around her, much less marry her. I can't stand her. The stupid creature is out West crying repeatedly over a HAT. I despise her.

I received this book today via a goodreads giveaway. This book did not disappoint. Johanna Lindsay has a wonderful way of weaving a story. Once I started I couldn't put it down. Great story and a fast read. The only negative is that I finished so fast.

This book was gifted to me by Gallery Books through a book giveaway on Goodreads. I am so grateful for the opportunity to read the book and I love Ms. Lindsey’s books so I was excited to read this story. Unfortunately, I can’t rate the book higher than two stars.
For a historical romance, there was no actual romance. There was some chemistry, but the only real intimacy shown between the H and the h was during a fishing trip. Most of the time they were snipping at one another. The characters seemed a bit one dimensional. The story was odd, two grown brothers summon their younger sister, who they haven’t really seen for 9 years from England to America, to share their financial misfortune and then send her by herself to look for their missing father in the Wild West.
The H kidnaps the h because he believes she is an actress, lying to him and working with his enemy to steal his mine. He goes on and on about not believing she is the daughter of his mine partner, then he suddenly believes her for some small thing she says. The story was stilted and I wished it got better.

3.5 en realidad. No le doy el 4 porque el final me pareció demasiado simple. Aún así he disfrutado con el libro y con cada momento de esta historia. Lo he leído con mucho cariño y con la pena de saber que no volveremos a leer nada más de esta gran escritora.

There’s nothing quite like a good book. And this is nothing quite like a good book. :sigh... I try to remember that the same author wrote Angel and Gentle Rogue. And I try to figure what happened. Then I realize that she’s always been sort of hit or miss, largely because of her heroines. See, impetuous and bold, and/or commanding and strong, can come across as reckless and stupid and/or overbearing and bitchy with the right circumstances. And while they might have worked with the aforementioned books, it’s because the circumstances didn’t really permit the h to actually endanger herself and others. Well, that and neither of those heroines were of the commanding and strong type.
Enough of that.
We start off in Merry olde England where the h has been summoned home by her brother, requesting her help because they’re in dire straights. Well, ok then. Next we’re home where we find out the twins she’d been mothering until age 9 when her aunt in England had carted her off to “have a childhood” (did they have childhoods then? Little girls?) are actually 2 years older than her. Say what now? And dear old dad seems to be the impulsive and stupid type too as he squandered the family fortune in 3 bad investments in as many months, followed by mortgaging the family pile, taking half the money as traveling, and leaving the rest for the twins to “keep up appearances” while he went west to find his fortune. As to why he would need half the loan for traveling in the old west - the loan is apparently 3 or 4K - is never explained, nor is the twins’ apparent lack of an ability to take care of themselves. Even the H was perturbed when he found out they were 20 year olds.
Sigh...
The plot where the H seems to own the hotel (apparently) and orders her to be evicted for consorting with the enemy, followed by his abducting her, and being utterly convinced she is an actress hired to pretend to be his “late” friend’s daughter seems awfully familiar.
Eventually everything is cleared up - the loan paid, the h convinced to stay, and of course, that trite phrase that is destined to become the title (why are they doing that? I’ve read several of late with this) inserted as a plot point for the HEA, the end.
I mean; it did get better towards the end, but you have to read an awful lot of eye rolling pages to get there, including the thought of a H who scares people (they refer to him as a cranky bear in the nearest town) but is really a shy teddy bear who uses phrases like making love as opposed to well, you know. If ever a book felt the absence of an f-word, this one is it - this from someone who wishes authors would dial back on the use and abuse of that word. :/
Enough of that.

Alright, quick review for this one. As I was not very engaged with it and I was mostly disappointed, Its more a 2.5 star for me, but I haven't read too many Cowboy HR, so I wanted to be lenient.
Pros:
Fun story set up. I liked the theme of the father going to regain his fortune in a mine and Callahan being kind because he liked Charles so much and didn't want him to suffer for his stupidity. That is the story I really wanted to read.
The danger and the atmosphere of Montana. I love the west, so this was a big plus for me and I liked how the heroine had been in England most of her life and was a fish out of water on a mountain top.
Callahan's goals. No spoilers, but I liked what his big dream was.
Cons:
Perspectives. I counted 3 chapters from Callahan's POV. This really bothered me. I needed to be in his head more to understand why he was treating the heroine like this. It made him almost irredeemable until well into the novel. Hate to love doesn't work for me when I hate both characters.
The Heroine. This chick was so annoying. She held onto her old life for way too long. She led Callahan on to manipulate him. She whined all the time. She made stupid decisions. Honestly, I almost DNF'd because of her.
The Romance. They were not suited. That's it, it was not believable that these two would be in love.
There you are. That's my feelings on it. I was hoping for much more.

Morgan Callahan hace un año que se fue de casa, dejó el rancho de su familia para ir en busca de oro. Su familia poco sabe de él, pero una muchacha venida desde la misma Inglaterra para resolver unos asuntos familiares y encontrar a su padre en el lejano Oeste, dará con él de una forma única.
Una vez que se encuentran, la situación entre ellos no será sencilla. Violet es una mujer fuerte y mandona que volverá un poco loco a Morgan, ya no solo con sus preguntas, si no también por su belleza.
Como al principio Morgan no se fía mucho de ella, los roces y las discusiones son casi constantes, aunque Morgan no deja de comportarse como todo un caballero cuando la ocasión lo requiere.
Ambos alejados de la civilización, con una mina próspera en la que pasar el tiempo y la búsqueda de un dinero escondido, con anímales salvajes, forajidos y un hombre demasiado ambicioso llenaran de aventuras el tiempo en que estes enamorados, sin saberlo, vivirán.
La novela es ágil y entretenida, nos muestra escenas vividas en el libro anterior pero desde otro punto de vista, cuando se cruzan los protagonistas de uno y otro libro.
Me hubiese gustado un epilogo que nos mostrara un poco más en el tiempo, pero como todo termina bastante cerrado, no hay mucho problema.

It's been quite a while since I have read a Johanna Lindsey book and this one was good even though the story moves really slow. I liked how Morgan's and Violet's characters grow in their perceptions and the easy banter between them made me smile. Historical romances have their own charm but when the Western segment gets added to the story line it makes it a very joyful read. It would have been more interesting to read Morgan's POV too which left me imagining stories to myself:-)

Another great story
Johanna Lindsey has written another great love story. I love how the main characters are stuck together with each other and passion comes naturally as they interact. She doesn't overdo the sex so that it just seems like sex; the emotions are fully involved, more so than just the passion.
