Whoa! did we read the same book ????

I maintain a good review must list some or most of the characters --- Creed Sherman has returned from his mercenary [soldier] pursuits in 1898 in the hopes of marrying Mary Catherine, the girl from the ranch next to the Sherman ranch. Just outside of Los Angles. On his way in he stops off at Collett's Fine Ladies Wear to pick up a gift for Mary Catherine - after a bit of flirting on Collett's part he meets up with Graham Dooling who is with the United States Treasury Department's Secret Service division. Not even the President was going to stop him from going home. When he arrives home his world is shattered ------- he meets up with Marcus, his brother and the problems start. Would you believe he is riding a Palomino, not exactly meant to melt into the background at night. Then he meets Gina Briganti from Sicily and saves her from the factory fire and takes her to her tenament appartment - but Gina is desperate to find her mother. Therein lies the backbone of the story, well almost. The fire being started by the revolutionist, Nikolai, who wanted freedom from everything. Creed must use all his skills to seek out the dangers to the President and keep Gina safe. With Gina's knowledge of the Mafia I am surprised that she has so little sense of self-preservation and like most females seems to put herself in danger with no thoughts of the consequences. Nieve or just plain dumb? So, yup, there is attraction that builds? and gets acted upon? again the hormones seems to drive the characters. Ah well. The story is very good entertainment - will definitely recommend --m

A great read!
