Will McMillan has been working undercover for the U.S. Marshals, infiltrating the infamous Walton Gang. He has been trying to discover who among the railroad employees is working with James Walton, the gang leader, to steal valuable cargo on certain trains. He is getting closer and closer to his goal when something goes wrong with the train robbery. Hostages, including one unforeseen woman, have been corralled but one member of the gang has decided nefarious purposes for this woman. Will can’t let this innocent woman be harmed, so he sneaks her off the train with the help from a mysterious passenger. Will thinks this passenger seems familiar but can’t seem to put his finger on why. With the stranger’s help, the three of them flee the train, knowing the gang won’t be far behind.
Jamie Ellis is on her way to live with her aunt and marry a man to whom she has been writing. She never expected to be caught in a train robbery. She senses something less harsh about one of the robbers and soon learns her instinct was correct as she rescues her from the train. Will has promised to get her to her aunt. As she, Will and the stranger are on the run, Jamie begins to learn more and more about Will’s strength of character and honor as viewed by his actions.
Jamie learns she has strength and value as a woman loved by God. Will initially thinks he is beyond redemption due to the lengths he has had to go to through and the things he has done on this long undercover mission but while protecting and fighting to save Jamie he learns he has worth in the sight of God. I also liked that Scout Proffitt had more of a role in this story and can’t wait to read his full story in book three of the series, A Texan’s Choice.
Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility. ( )

It was a book that had me wondering more about Scout then Will McMillan and Jamie. I first I was wondering what was going on. But I knew it was Train Robbery from the start. I was wondering how and why there was a female hostage. I was more interested the lives of Scout more then anyone else. Will had my interest as well, because of what his occupation was I was really wondering until it was reveled and I had a feeling that Will would find love on the train. Though I was surprised with the relationship Will and Scout having along with What Scout did for a girl. I was hoping to hear more about Clayton and his wife and Sister Corrine. ( )

The way I see this book, I had been read A Texan's Promise before reading this. Well I was expecting to hear about Clayton and Vanessa life a little bit. Though I know this book is based on Will McMillan and Scout Proffitt. Jamie was not all the interesting to me though I did read about her in the beginning. I at first thought what is going on, how were we in a train robbery already?

I really was interested Will McMillan life more then girl hostage Jamie and the other members of the Walton Gang. I was so in to find out what Will McMillan occupation was though out the book. Scout Proffitt was another I really enjoyed reading about. Though it did not mention much on his life, other some flash back as him thinking about his sister Corrine when he looking at female hostage. There a surprise relationship between two folks. ( )
