Two lawmen are tested when they lose their hearts-- When runaway Hannah Stewart comes into his life Sheriff Adam McBride is torn between the law and love. Sheriff Quinn Riley must find the swindler who stole from his town and his family--even if it means losing the woman he loves, Ciara Morrissey. And two outlaws looking for redemption have their hearts stolen-- McKenna Smith wants a pardon and he'll do anything to get it- until he falls in love with the one person who can make it happen- Audra Tadlock. Bounty Hunter Bobby Morgan is innocent, but proving it won't be easy especially when he falls for the beautiful preacher's daughter he's kidnapped.
Lauri Robinson's chosen genre to write is Western historical, and when asked why, she says, "Because I know I wasn't the only girl who wanted to grow up and marry Little Joe Cartwright."
With a degree in early childhood education, Lauri has spent three decades working in the non-profit field for Head Start, Child Abuse Intervention, the March of Dimes, and United Way. She claims the once upon a time and happily ever after premise of romance novels has always been a form of stress relief. When her husband suggested she write one, she took the challenge and has loved every minute of the journey.
Lauri lives in rural Minnesota, where she and her husband spend every spare moment with their three grown sons and their families, which includes three granddaughters, two stepgrandsons and two granddogs. She volunteers for several organizations, including her local library, and spends most fall weekends filling the freezer with homemade foodstuffs from the bountiful harvest of her husband's green thumb. She's a diehard Elvis fan (yes, she's been to Graceland), and loves to spend Sundays watching NASCAR, either live or on TV. However, she says her favorite weekends are spent in the woods of northern Minnesota on the land homesteaded by her great-grandfather.
Most of her childhood was spent in western Kansas, which is the setting for several of her stories. Lauri is a member of RWA, Northern Lights Writers,and Hearts Through History Romance Writers, as well as several online writing groups. She writes for Harlequin, Mills and Boon and The Wild Rose Press.
An anthology of 4 short stories. The 1st story is Sheriff McBride by Lauri Robinson and I'd give it 3 and a half stars. It could have been more if the author would have added a few more pages to flesh out the story just a bit more. Lots of potential. The 2nd was Dreams of Gold by Linda Carroll-Bradd. I'd give this a 4 star. Probably my fave of the 4. Again its a short story so not a lot going on in it. 3rd is McKenna's Woman by Loretta C Rogers. I'd give this one 4 stars also. 4th is The Outlaw's Angel. I'd give it maybe 2 stars. I didn't care for it. Not sure why but it just didn't work for me. I wanted to stop reading it several times but managed to finally finish it.
