    My Review

    A true 'western' tale. Beautifully told historical romance of the wild west when often the only justice shown was by the men who ruled with guns. It is fast paced, with danger from indians, runaway cattle, and fellow ranchers. The scenes are vivid. The story will keep you turning the pages quickly. i enjoyed it, will recommend it to others, and look for other books by Yvonne Harris to read.

    Set in Montana Territory in 1884, we find young Emily McCarthy on a stage coach on her way to be married to a total stranger. All arranged by the director of the orphanage where Emily was raised. Now that she is of age, they need the room she lives in so arrangements have been made. Emily is not happy about this at all, but has resigned herself to accepting it.

    As she nears her destination, the stage is held up and robbed, and she is abducted after the "robber" finds out she is going to be married to Bart Axel, an older man who is rumored to have killed his last wife. Emily does not react kindly to her "rescue" or her rescuer.

    This is a fast paced story that will draw you in and having you anxious to read it all. Full of danger, action and excitement you will not want to put down this book. You will sympathize with Emily as she tries to make sense of all the drama surrounding her, you will laugh at her antics as she tries to present a picture of a young woman in control of her destiny. You will feel the pain of the rescuer, Luke as he comes to terms with his childhood hurts. A truly marvelous, heart stirring story, this is the first book I have read from this author and I hope it is not the last, I totally enjoyed her writing style. Great book!

    Another satisfying read from Bethany House. I've never read a novel by Yvonne Harris before but I recommend her highly.

    The story had a bit more danger than usual. In fact, the hero of the story truly was a vigilante, living by the code of the Old West, upholding justice when there was no law to be had. He had killed a few men, participated in the hanging of cattle rustlers, wore a gun everywhere and was prepared to display his fast draw to protect women, children and, of course, himself.

    The heroine was an orphan--sent by the orphanage where she was raised to be the mail order bride of a cattle baron. She was an unwilling bride, but circumstances forced her to accept her fate.

    The vigilante rescued the orphan from a fate worse than death. In fact it was a fate that could have resulted in her death, considering that the cattle baron's first wife died a mysterious death.

    But fate (really, you know it is God) had other plans for our beautiful orphan. When she is kidnapped from the cattleman's carriage by the vigilante, she is taken to another orphanage--the very one the vigilante was raised in! And here, she becomes, not a recipient of charity, but a much needed teacher and helper.

    Truly, you must read this book--It's not often a self-confessed murderer is the hero in a Christian novel!!!

    Let me begin by saying I never write book reviews so for me to take the time to write one should tell you something. Make room on your keeper shelve and label it Yvonne Harris. From the moment you open the book you are transported back to the old west. Her descriptions are great and she puts you THERE. I will not go into the plot other reviewers will do that. I was taken away by her descriptions and character development.
