Kelli Ann Morgan

Abby McCallister puede montar y disparar mejor que cualquier hombre que haya conocido, pero cuando la amenaza de perder su rancho la obliga a encontrar un marido, ella no está preparada para el misterioso desconocido que la toma de la mano y evoca en ella un repentino deseo de ser una dama digna de ir de su brazo.
Él ha jurado protegerla. No podía hacer eso si ella se casaba con otro hombre...
Cole Redbourne, inmerso en la culpa por el accidente que se llevó la vida de su mejor amigo, descubre que no hubo nada accidental en ello. Cuando parte para Silver Falls, Colorado, para cumplir el último deseo de su amigo y encargarse de su asesino, lo último que espera es encontrar esperanza otra vez, oculta en el interior de su improvisada novia.… (més)

This was a quick filler book for me. A quick romance to fill some space between my book club books. It was a pretty typical romance, just set in the wild west of Colorado. There is a girl who can ride and shoot better than any man she’s ever met, but when the threat of losing her ranch forces her to find a husband. What she didn't expect was to find a husband that makes her want to be a lady.
And there is a man guild ridden over the accident that claimed his best friend, then he discovers there was nothing accidental about it. So he sets out for Colorado, to fulfill his friend’s dying wish and to flush out his killer, the last thing he expected was to find was a bride.
It was a quick read, the writing was good, and it filled a need I had at the time for some romance. Plus there was the murder mystery portion. I liked Abby and Cole, they were a little flat, but again its a typical romance and the purpose wasn't to build complicated characters, it was to build the idea that romance and love are possible and for you too like the characters enough to want them to be together and get their happy ending. Which Kelli Ann did wonderfully.

This is a clean, delightful historical romance!
It was not totally predictable. There were a few
twists the author incorporated. The family of male
main characters were very individual and alluring.

The story was about two individuals from a strong
family foundation, yet from very different circumstances.
There was some slight humor and quite a bit of action.
It never dragged on.

Those Redbourne's were a strong, determined bunch!
They were made of the solid, tough character of an earlier
time of history, when you survived the bad and built into
a better life... A glorious time when a person's word was
his honor.

The McCallisters' were a strong, unusual family, not totally
approved of by the townspeople. Abby was a carefree, flippant,
tomboy. Her character was fun, vivacious and never changing...
much.

There was, of course, good vs. evil; right vs. wrong action...
as in most good stories.

The author briefly introduces the larger family but then
they pop up unexpectedly sporadically throughout the book.

This novel is only one in the Redbourne saga. I am definitely
planning on reading the other books of the series.… (més)
