I've read a lot of Francine Rivers' books that she wrote after she became a Christian. They're excellent and show how much she's honed her skill as a writer. I decided I wanted to see what some of her earlier romance novels were like. I really liked this one in particular. Some of her books are about people with very harsh lives that don't offer me the kind of "escape" I'm looking for when I read. But this book was really entertaining. It is a steamy love story with lots of chemistry and very likable characters. I highly recommend it.

From the back cover His savage Kiss awakened her flesh...His tender touch aroused her spirit In the untamed frontier of the West, women married when they were young girls. So at the ripe age of 21, Beth Tyrell was nearly an old maid. But the wheat-haired Sheriff's daughter possessed a proud, gentle spirit that could not be compromised. She would marry only for deep, abiding love - and would settle for nothing less. Not for Adam Buchanan, the town's new physician - whose boyish face and laughing eyes were openly adoring...Not for Avery Carlile - with whom she'd shared so much when they were younger...Not for the sake of her father - who wanted nothing more than his daughter to find the happiness he had lost. Then Logan Tanner rode into town - a gunslinger seeking revenge. His burning blue eyes pierced her soul - and made her ache... For no blaze burns so hot, nor glows so bright, as the flame kindled by desire.
