I read this book on a Sunday afternoon. It’s my favorite time to just sit and devour a whole book. I like the vulnerable yet strong heroine, Emily McCarthy; as well as the brash yet gentlemanly hero, Luke Sullivan. They both make a physical and religious move through the course of the story.
At times I think the characters acted more modern than 1884, but how do I know how people acted in 1884 anyways? I really enjoyed the different way of looking at the vigilantes; sometimes I can understand why they wanted to take the law into their own hands. I also found the interaction with the Indians very interesting and sometimes funny.
Here is the backcover copy:
Montana Territory, 1884…Is Her Kidnapper the Only Man Who Can Keep Her Safe?
Robbing a stagecoach on Christmas Eve and abducting a woman passenger is the last thing Luke Sullivan expected to do. He just wanted to reclaim the money stolen from his pa, but instead ended up rescuing a feisty copper-haired woman who was on her way to marry Sullivan’s dangerous enemy. Emily McCarthy doesn’t take kindly to her so-called rescue. Still, she’s hoping Providence will turn her situation for good, especially when it seems Luke Sullivan may just be the man of her dreams. But Luke has crossed a vicious man, a powerful rancher not used to losing, and Emily is the prize he’s unwilling to sacrifice.
