If you’ve read the first two books in my series, Sweet Savannah Home, (Surrender Your Heart & The Reluctant Widow) you’ll recognize these characters.


Hannah Hamilton leaves her two small children with her sisters and travels to Texas to care for her injured aunt. Just as she arrives, she’s robbed and hit over the head, knocking her out. When she gains consciousness, she doesn’t remember anything – not even her name. The owners of a hotel tell her she’s Anna, a hotel maid they had hired and were waiting for to arrive on the train. Feeling lost and alone, the only thing that gives her a comforting feeling is the very handsome U.S. Marshal with dreamy eyes. Somehow her heart is connected to this man, but it frightens her that she might be falling for him too quickly.

Marshal Colt Montgomery can’t believe that bad luck has followed him to Texas. Seeing Hannah again brings back memories of when he was in love with her while she was married to his best friend. Colt had poured out his heart to her not long after her husband died, but she only wanted to be friends. Now, fate has thrown them together again, but this time, an outlaw is after her. Colt must do all he can to protect her from being killed. He also needs to do something to protect his heart, because as soon as she gains her memory, she’ll crush his dreams of ever being her husband, once again.

Big Springs, Texas 1886 Hannah Hamilton was so excited to be arriving by the train to see her Aunt Ethal! When she heard her aunt had broken her leg and needed someone to care for her, she jumped at the chance. Leaving her two girls with her sisters she felt she could spend the six weeks needed. Little did she know, her life was about to change.
Trying to find a wagon to hire to get her to her aunt's house, the was robbed and knocked over the head. But when she woke up she could not remember her name or any other information! The people who rescued her told her she was Anna, who had been on her way to take a job from them working at their hotel.
Marshall Colt Montgomery was in town on the trail of an outlaw that had been robbing banks and taking money from people after he had knocked them out. When he finds out that Anna/Hannah is the young lady last hurt, he cannot believe it! He had just left her several months ago after declaring his feelings for her, which she only wanted to be friends. Heartbroken he had hit the trail.
But fate brings them together and as they spend time with each other, he can only hope once she regains her memory, she might feel different about him! A sweet romance that holds all the ingredients to make you sigh and smile as you turn the last page!

This book is a clean western romance with a HEA. It can be read easily in an afternoon. It kept me entertained. This is Colt and Hannah’s story. Hannah is a widow and isn’t sure she is ready for a new love. Colt is heartbroken as his feelings for Hannah weren’t returned. When Hannah is injured and loses her memory is it a chance for Colt to win Hannah? Colt is a law man, a US Marshall. He has been tracking an outlaw for a while now. He tracks him into Texas where Hannah had gone to help her Aunt recover from a broken leg. There is some mystery and excitement as he tries to keep Hannah safe. I was laughing out loud at the situation near the end.

Enjoyed reading this book! The U.S. Marshall is looking for a man who has robbed and hurt 3 or 4 people. A young widow has come on the train to take care of her aunt. Just after she arrived, she is knocked out and robbed and losses her memory. I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance with a little mystery pitched in.

A fun crazy story. Hannah has a lot of spunk and I can definitely see her thriving in the Wild West or as a Southern Belle. Colt is a great hero and you can't really blame him for trying to get Anna (Hannah) to fall for him. The circumstances around their second chance romance is a little crazy, but perfect for these two characters.

Oh this was so good. This is definitely a page turner. A clean romance with quite a bit of suspense rolled into it too. How they capture the bandits is brilliant and will have you smiling and possibly giggling through that part. An enduring love story for second chances. A must read, you will enjoy.

I received this as an arc and I am giving my honest review voluntarily

I really loved this story. The characters were very relatable and drew me into the book. I found myself rooting for Colt and his heart. The action was great, can’t go without gunslingers in the old west! I felt as if I were watching a John Wayn movie in my head! I love Marie Higgins books and was not disappointed.
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Wonderful story with twists and turns which include memory loss, kidnapping, evil men, romance, passion and cunning. The weapon used to capture the evil men is epic. Edge of your seat reading, I couldn’t put it down.

This was such a great story!! I couldn’t put it down!! Hannah and Colt were so good together!! Colt just wanted to be with Hannah and protect her anyway he could. Hannah realized she loved Colt when she saw how good of a man he was. I love Marie’s books and can’t wait until her next one comes out!!
