About this eBook

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so when Hannah Granger's little sister takes off for Oregon with a group of mail-order brides to meet her new husband, Hannah has no choice but to follow. She expects her sister to find trouble, and she does. But what Hannah doesn't expect is to fall for the hired gun traveling with the wagon train as they make their way along the treacherous Oregon Trail. The bounty hunter is tall, dark and dangerous, everything she's avoided her entire life. But when she begins to suspect criminals are riding just four wagons back, she'll do just about anything to convince him to listen...and to protect her fragile younger sister from the truth about what this trip is costing them both.

The only thing bounty hunter Joe Stanton wants is to avoid trouble. He's tagging along on this trip to the Oregon Territory to put a little extra cash in his pocket and take a break from the hunt. The only woman he ever loved broke his heart and his last bounty cost an innocent man his life. Joe's had enough blood, death and betrayal to last a lifetime. So why, then, does he make Hannah's secrets his own? Why does he lie to protect her? And why does the stubborn woman's dogged attempts to help him track down criminals drive him insane with worry.

Maybe because he's falling for the red-headed beauty. Maybe because if he doesn't keep her close, they'll both end up dead.

Image being part of a wagon train going miles across the country to Oregon and having to fend for yourself! It made me remember the series Wagon Train that I was fascinated with when I was younger. Heck, who am I kidding? I still watch it when I can!! Traveling with a group of mail order brides, Hannah felt she could not let her younger sister Lydia go alone, as Lydia was traveling to meet the man she agreed to marry in Oregon. What Hannah doesn't expect is to meet Joe Stanton, a bounty hunter who joins the journey. You see Hannah has always known her sister Lydia is the one men flock to and her hope is to just open a dress store once they get to Oregon. But as fate steps in as it often does, she and Joe become attracted but outside forces push them together quickly. Can they find love when Joe is so against that emotion because he had been hurt in the past? An adventure that will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can and experiencing the danger and love along the Oregon Trail. This author writes wonderful stories that take you away to a different time and place and will make your heart smile at the end!

I am always inspired when reading books that portray the lives of early settlers and the enormous lengths they went to in order to reach their goals. This romance brings the adventure, danger and drama to life, transporting one into the story along with the characters. Hannah and Lydia weren't vapid, helpless little women. Rather, they planned their trip on the wagon trail well and prepared themselves in a way that few women would consider. I enjoyed their practical approach as well as their generosity. Joe is a delightful hero with his light-hearted but protective stance towards Hannah. Hannah is a strong and determined woman, despite battling with the self-image problems so many of us experience when we don't fit the perfect profile. This novel is well written and kept my interest the whole way through and I look forward to reading more stories in this series. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Historical Romance about a wagon train full of mail-order brides heading for Oregon. Nice, clean romance with action and excitement. Main characters fleshed out well. Very enjoyable read.

About the author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of more than thirty-three historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way.

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner.

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
