This is my third book by her and after discovering her broken yet still courageous characters, I am officially a fan. While the main plot of this story was a romance, I loved that the backbone was family. Glory works hard to keep her family afloat and she puts their comfort and lives above all else, including her health. But the familial love wasn't only one sided: Hope lay on the bed and stroked Glory's back. "You're the glue, the driving force, that holds Mama, Patience, and me together. We can't just give up on life simply because you got a raw deal. I refuse to do that. A quiver filled her voice. "If you're not strong enough to fight, I'll do it for you until you can get some starch back in your spine." There were times I became frustrated with Luke and Glory not saying what they meant, but overall I enjoyed their relationship, from accidental shooting to confessions of love. Of course, this being the wild west, there are outlaws, cowboys, and certainly a few close calls. Luke is the brother of Duel McClain, the main character in Knight on the Texas Plains, but both books can be read as stand-alones. From BackCover: THE WRONG TARGET Glory Day had the answer to her problems in sight--the man who promised to solve all her troubles. Then an interfering stranger got in the way; he literally came between her and the outlaw she planned to bring in for the reward money. And she accidentally shot him! Worse, Luke McClain was no ordinary cowboy; he was an extraordinary lawman and a true gentleman to boot. THE RIGHT MAN While she doctored his wounds, Luke humored her ailing mother, charmed her sisters, and seemed determined to help save her father from jail and her family farm from ruin. What was a woman to do with such a meddlesome and generous admirer? After one kiss to silence him, Glory knew her course: She'd rope him into hanging his saddle next to hers for life. For sure as shootin', Glory realized she had collared the correct man after all. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

I loved the first meeting between Glory and Luke. Their paths do quickly cross in town but their first real meeting goes horribly wrong when Glory accidentally shoots Luke. She takes him home to tend to his wounds and let him recover. Luke gets to know the Day family pretty quickly since Glory's youngest sister, Patience, like to share whatever comes to her mind. Luke sees how much responsibility is on Glory's shoulders and seems to understand how troubled she is.
I liked the characters in this story quite a bit. Luke was great. He is a really good man that wants to help. He will do the right thing and somehow seems to see things that others may miss. Glory was a strong character. She is tough and does what needs to be done to take care of her family. She has a lot of pride and wants to take care of things herself. It did drive me a bit nuts when she made a big deal of Luke's offer to help because she really needed the help but I understood why she behaved as she did. Glory's sisters, Hope and Patience, were wonderful. Hope was a a hard working girl who was a great support to her sisters and family. Patience was a wonderful child who added more than a few smiles to the story.
I liked Luke and Glory together. I thought that their personalities really seemed to work well together. Luke didn't see Glory's responsibilities as a negative but was happy to take them on himself. Glory didn't always seem to know how to handle Luke and had a lot of doubts but she did care for him. I would have liked to see a bit more of Luke and Glory together. There seemed to be someone around to interrupt them during most of the scenes where they had a moment alone.
I would recommend this book to others. I had a great time reading this wonderful romance filled with fantastic characters. This is the second book in the Texas Heroes series but could easily be read as a stand alone since it tells its own story. I look forward to reading more from Linda Broday very soon.
I received an advance reader edition of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley. ( )
