I love a story where the main character is a spunky, feisty
woman and Maggie Brendan has hit the mark with this one. Rachel has lost her family but yearns to earn
enough money to buy back her family’s ranch.
Her brother had made a deal with his best friend and time is running
out. Employment for young women in the
1860’s was almost non-existent so Rachel did what she felt was the only thing
she could do. She took a job in the
local saloon. Reluctantly, her brother’s best friend, rancher John McIntyre, grants
his friends request to rescue her and take her to his home.
This is from the publisher’s website:
“Rachel Matthews isn't one to rely on others to take care of her. Homeless and alone, she still wants to make her own way and her own money to buy back the family ranch--even if she's forced into the life of a dance hall girl. Horrified by her circumstances, Rachel's brother, who is away mining for gold, sends a friend to rescue her.
Cattle baron John McIntyre is focused on acquiring as much land as possible in Montana and has little time to deal with a dance hall gal. Rachel isn't sure she can take one more day in John's home--especially once she discovers that he's the one who holds ransom the key to her family's future.
Sparks fly between this spunky, independent heroine and the ruggedly handsome hero as they navigate the snarled terrain of pride, greed, faith, and love in Maggie Brendan's delightful series set in the Old West.”
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, faith based
story. The characters are well developed
and believable. The author takes you
back in time with her descriptions of
the landscape and living conditions. It always makes a story more enjoyable if
you can imagine yourself in the surroundings and this author does a great job
of taking you there. It’s a perfect
balance of romance, history, and faith.
