Misunderstandings

When Kristina wounds an influential man trying to rape her she runs to her employers father for protection while pretending to be her employer. Once there she discovers that he is at deaths door and wants her to marry Cole Barton, a bounty hunter and man he loves like his own son. She agrees but it is only after Cole leaves the ranch that she gets to confess who she really is. Since Cole is gone so long and so often their opportunities to talk are minimal and this leads to many misunderstandings, mainly on his part. An enjoyable read, the author pulls you into the lives of the people and gives you the sense that you are experiencing it along with them.

Good

This book was pretty good, although it does have some slow parts. The hero and heroine are Cole Barton and Kristina Parker. Kristina comes to Texas to see Cole's best friend Drake Carlson and ask him for help after she wounds a rich and influential man when he attacks her. She knows she is only a lowly maid and will probably go to prison for wounding a well respected and wealthy man, even though she was only defending herself. She leaves Philadelphia and goes to Texas under the guise of her employer Samantha Carlson, Drake's daughter, she plans to tell Drake the truth immediately, but when she gets to Texas Drake has had a heart attack and she cannot tell him the truth for fear the shock will kill him. He has not seen Samantha since she was three, and since Samantha and Kristina have similar coloring, he does not realize she is not his daughter. He asks on his deathbed that she marry Cole so he can die in peace. They marry and Kristina falls in love with Cole but fears what he will do when he finds out the truth. Sweet and romantic.
