Would never usually read a romance novel much less a Western romance but this was enjoyable. There were no squealing heroines or ignorant heros in stupid situations they should never have ended up in. I'd recommend this to romance readers. ( ) AUTHOR: Yvonne is a HISTORICAL FICTION author. SETTING: 19th century Western CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: Raised in an orphanage in a major eastern city, she is now considered to have reached the age of maturity. Finding a well to do man out West that has placed and ad in a newspaper for a wife, the Orphanage Board puts her on a train. MALE MAIN CHARACTER: He quits his job on a major ranch and heads back home to help out on the orphanage ranch where he grew up. Out of vengeance, he kidnaps a mail order bride. This is a Western fiction where romance is a "by product" of the book FAVORITE PART: Native Americans and Cowboys switching clothes. Small amount of book humor is always a good thing. LEAST FAVORITE PART: Lack of respect for Native Americans which are historical facts and not the author's fault for writing the injustices into the book. In writing any Western, the plight of Native Americans cannot go without mentioning. **I thought I would be reading a Western romance and not a Western fiction. I find that there is a difference and my preference is romance with a western background.** YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK IF YOU LIKE: 19th century, Western, Inspirational fiction NCLA Review - Set in the Montana Territory of 1884, this book introduces the reader to orphaned Emily McCarthy who has been expelled from the orphanage and forced to become a mail-order bride to a total stranger. But as she nears her final destination, the stagecoach is robbed and she is kidnapped. Luke Sullivan had no intention of robbing the stagecoach or abducting anyone—he just wanted the money originally stolen from him. What happens next in this fast-paced story will definitely hold the reader’s interest. Action, excitement and danger are expertly co-mingled with trust in God who is leading both Emily and Luke to a bright future together. This book demonstrates that God can take poor choices, disasters, hatreds and jealousies and transform them into loving goodness and forgiveness. This book is an excellent example of Christian romance fiction at its finest. Rating: 3 —MF aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Robbing a stagecoach on Christmas Eve and kidnapping a woman passenger is the last thing Luke Sullivan expects to do. He just wanted to reclaim the money stolen from him, but ends up with a feisty copperhaired orphan thrown over his shoulder who was on her way to marry Sullivan's bitter enemy. Emily McCarthy is an orphan out of options. Forced to marry because she was too old for her orphanage, she doesn't take kindly to her "rescue." Still she trusts God can turn any situation to good especially when it seems Sullivan may just be the man of her dreams. But Sullivan's crossed a dangerous man unused to losing and Emily may just be the prize he's unwilling to sacrifice." - Taken from cover p.4. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
