Fiction. Romance. HTML: When news arrived that there was trouble back in Texas, Holt McKettrick left a mail-order bride and his family on the spot. And he never looked back. He just prayed he'd be in time to save the man who had raised him as a son and keep his best friend from the gallows. He knew he'd encounter rustlers, scoundrels and thieves, but he'd never expected to find a woman like Lorelei Fellows. Setting fire to her wedding dress in the town square probably wasn't the best way to stand her ground. But Lorelei had had enough. She was sick of men and their schemes. All she wanted was to stake her claim on her own little piece of Texas. And with Holt McKettrick as a neighbor, things were beginning to look up. The man was a straight shooter with a strong will, a steady aim and a hungry heart. .… (plus d'informations)

Holt McKettrick heads back to Texas to help his adopted father from rustlers and his best friends from the gallows. The first thing he finds is Lorelei Fellows burning her wedding dress in the town square.
This is a classic Western historical romance with cattle rustling, Indians, and shootings along with the strong, stoic hero and the feisty heroine. It's one of Ms. Miller's best books and my favorite in the series. (

Holt and Lorelei spend the majority of the book fighting, with Holt not being very nice most of the time. Other characters tell us they are in love with each other but I really didn't feel it for most of the book.. Holt comes to her town to save his friend from jail and another friend from losing his spread. Lorelei's father is a crooked judge who wished she had died instead of her brother many years ago.

I was given this title to read by a friend and did not realize until I looked at the author's web site - after reading the book - that it was the 4th book in a series. I read it as an 'independent' title and thoroughly enjoyed it! The characterizations were strong and wonderful, the conversations lively, and the settings were described so clearly that I could picture each scene, each character, each conversation as clearly in my mind as if I was watching an exhilarating movie about the ol’ west rather than reading a book. I loved it and will be sure to read Linda Lael Miller titles again! I was also very impressed to learn of her scholarships for women on her web site. http://www.lindalaelmiller.com/lindas-scholarship/ Ms. Miller’s philosophy is, “Educate a woman, and countless generations to come will benefit from the investment.” Very inspiring!

On his wedding day, Holt McKettrick gets word that his adoptive father is in trouble, and one of his friends is set to hang. He sets out immediately, leaving his bride behind. Upon reaching San Antonio, he sees another bride burning her wedding dress in the street. Lorelei Fellows is a courageous woman who is taking control of her own life. The two fight like wildcats before finally succumbing to each other.
Although Holt is a little more high-handed and alpha than I usually enjoy in a hero, Lorelei is a match for him in terms of stubbornness and strength, and the book is representative of the attitudes of the time. A very satisfying Western Romance. (
