No Rescue for the Traitor

Rate this book
Life is good for Benedict Aritza… He owns a butcher shop with his best friend, he is the town’s favorite, ladies always smile his way and he’s even put forward as a potential future mayor. His perfect little life is disrupted though when Curley, his business partner, goes missing while on a buffalo-hunting expedition. Benedict is not the kind of man to give up on his friend. He’s determined to find him and bring him home safe. There’s another problem, however; Curley's sister is dead set on coming along to search for her brother. Benedict admired Hallie’s feisty personality, even though she’d always been out of bounds for him. Now, in close quarters as they go on the dangerous hunt together, can he resist the soft spot he’s always had for her?

Hallie lost her parents suddenly a few years back. Since then, she’s been very protective of her brother, the only family she has left. When Curley goes missing, there is no way she will let this pass without a fight. When she discovers to her horror that the vicious Pablo Javier gang is behind this, she knows there’s no time to waste and that she should act immediately. If she has to put up with Benedict for a few days in order to save her brother… so be it. Yet, Hallie has always liked Benedict, more than she’d care to admit. Can she put her pride aside and convince Benedict that she is the competent and skillful comrade that should join him on this perilous quest?

As Benedict and Hallie embark on their journey together, they’ll soon find that their quest was never what they thought it would be. What started as a rescue mission ends up becoming an escape plan to save their own lives. With shots fired, and a gang that even has corrupt sheriffs on their side, will Benedict and Hallie manage to help each other out? How will they ever manage to survive when they realize that they're not the ones on the hunt after all, but those being hunted?

A pulse-pounding drama, which will make you turn the pages with bated breath until the very last word. A must-read for fans of Western action and romance.

"No Rescue for the Traitor" is a historical adventure novel of approximately 60,000 words. No cliffhangers, only pure unadulterated action.

No Rescue for the Traitor A Historical Western Adventure Book

Is this the same author as Grayson? The writing is the same and just like Grayson, it seems like the author is British. Annoying use of British style, ex. ...they p been sat together... and ...couldn't belief the proof..., though that could've been a typo. Story itself was good, with a different outcome, but not easy to read with bad editing.

The story is more romance than a western

The author didn't seem to be that informed about how life was in the west. Horses are not left saddled, by the 1880's the majority of handguns weren't two shot derringers, rifles were common, etc.. It was a good premise but not a believable western.

This was such a great story that I a now back to reading traditional western books. It had to be hard for Benedict and Hallie through all the problems of trying to find Hallie's brother and Benedict's business partner while fighting off a gang of outlaws but they manage. Great read.

This was a very nice story about trying to rescue a man and finding happiness in the arms of a woman who had been off limits.

Interesting but short

These story line could have gone further. As you read I kept waiting for the story to expand but what was there was good.
