We all tend to forget about the internal issues that rule our lives. Elizabeth Hill lost her safety net when her father, a good doctor, dies and her brother has brought shame onto the family. Elizabeth tends to be a giving, nurturing person and allows others to impact her life. Especially that stinking Garrett Whitmore. He finally condescends to offer her marriage although he seems to think her too old for marriage. [I think he just wants to control her.] Ah, then Connor Wade shows up [and I think he is half in love with her]. Yup! he saves her life and splatters blood all over her shawl. It seems that the whole town takes advantage of Elizabeth's good nature, yet the women still come to her for help. Connor offers to help her turn her spacious home into a boarding house [I did think he was looking for something and assume that was a deliberate ploy]. I did like the character of Heath Wheeler and his pursuit of Gena Blake, daughter of the Gunthers that run the store. We get to see a little evil in the sheriff when he threatens Connor through Elizabeth's secure life in Sterling, Texas. Connor, with many secrets of his own, is getting on with his life and trying to turn it around and although he does not consider himself worthy he surely wants Elizabeth. The evidence was right there in front of him for her to see. [grin] I was a bit surprised at his reasons for not needing to work and still have money. Quite an intrigueing story. Seems to be in general keeping with the time period, as to attitudes and feelings. Definitely recommended --m - and enjoyable read with some neat characters.
Last Texas Bride saved the best for last!
