Customer Reviews

One of her best

Loved it, loved it, loved it! One of the gentlest, most tender romances I've ever read. You'll care about Louisa and J.W. and their journey from the first words, their first thoughts, their first steps. I couldn't put it down.

Intriguing romance

Adventure, mystery, a historical setting are all attributes that combine to make this romance intriguing and fun to read. Discover the background, goals, motives, and desires of the main characters J.W. Walford and Louisa Burgess as their lives cross paths in East Texas shortly after the Civil War. Follow their relationship as they form a pact that takes them to San Antonio. Each of them has his/her own agenda. These agendas will surely affect any long term relationship that could develop. Find out where Tess Ramsdale, Claire, Morgan, Dalhart, and Diamond fit it and affect the outcome of this novel. A good read for the summer!

engaging western romance

In the 1868 Piney Woods area of East Texas, J. W. Walford kills Uriah Roane in the Lone Tree Saloon, is arrested and convicted of murder, but got a break due to some siblings freeing their brother enabling him to escape too. Now J.W. is fleeing the law when he comes across a small ranch. He stops to buy a horse only to find an unconscious woman and her infant. He provides aid to the drugged woman who awakens and informs him that she is Louisa Burgess and introduces him to her baby Angelina. She also says that she is on the run from odious banker Titus Gillette who is using her late husband's gambling debts to try to blackmail the beautiful woman into doing his bidding.J.W. takes Louisa and her child across the state on a four hundred mile trek as he seeks vengeance. However, as they journey together, J.W. and Louisa fall in love. As he reconsiders his priorities to keeping his two cherished females safe, Titus has sent a killer after them.This engaging western romance may sound like an overdone theme, but Beth Henderson freshens up her plot due to the baby making the trek that much more difficult. The story line is action-packed yet character driven as the lead couple has demons (real and imaginative) to overcome before they might pursue their inner feelings. Similar to Three Godfathers with a romantic twist, this is a fine redemption tale that readers will enjoy.Harriet Klausner
