Gold Dust
Katy O'Connell of Willow Bend, Montana, couldn't help herself. She told the handsome Chicago newsman that he'd be robbed blind, chewed up, and spit out before he got halfway to the Klondike Gold Rush if he didn't take her -- and her pet wolf Hunter -- with him. When Jonah Armstrong hired her as a guide, he'd thought the sassy imp who saved him from a bar fight was a wiseacre boy. And Katy, the surest shot and best rider in town, had no idea that her wild ways had overshadowed her gender.
When the truth soon surfaced, Katy was wounded to the quick, while Jonah was mad as hell, ready to fire her, and completely intrigued with the green-eyed hellion who looked like the woman of his dreams. Now in the rugged Yukon, where gold glittered and danger beckoned, Jonah would have to tame this wild filly without breaking her -- and learn that true love was the greatest adventure they could face.

Why did this book have me kicking and screaming my little legs? FINALLY a historical romance with a certified tomboy!! The fact that he wants to marry her to continue her rapscallion ways makes this even better. I was extremely pleased with this book, def staying in my little library.
Reduced to 4.5 stars just because if the patriarchal concepts. I love a dom like the next girl but this is definetly ~historical~.

I'm not a big fan of bad things happening to good people so that lowered my rating on the book. I did not like the brief ending. An epilogue saying what happened to our couple and where they ended up living, and what happened to Andy and Camilla would have been appreciated.
I really like Jonah and Katy was a very strong woman but sometimes ridiculously stubborn.

GOLD DUST BY EMILY CARMICHAEL
I enjoyed this story.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.
Katy O'Connell of Willow Bend, Montana, couldn't help herself. She told the handsome Chicago newsman that he'd be robbed blind, chewed up, and spit out before he got halfway to the Klondike Gold Rush if he didn't take her—and her pet wolf Hunter—with him. When Jonah Armstrong hired her as a guide, he'd thought the sassy imp who saved him from a bar fight was a wiseacre boy. And Katy, the surest shot and best rider in town, had no idea that her wild ways had overshadowed her gender.
