Book Description: When a cowboy focused on revenge encounters a woman determined to distract him, there's going to be trouble in Texas! Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn't terribly upset at being separated from the family who raised her. All they've ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she's rescued by Luke Stone...so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future. Luke is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property won't let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meet up with friends who will help him take back the land, and since he can't just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she's going to have to go with him. But the more time Luke spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his destructive path and be swept away by love?
My Thoughts: Cowboys to the rescue! And cute ones at that! Mary Connealy once again sweeps us away to smelly cows, handsome cowboys and damsels in distress. But Ruthy MacNeil isn't feeling very distressed. She's separated from her "adopted" family . . . but this is a good thing! They only worked her to the bone, anyway! But Luke comes to Ruthy's rescue. Gotta love a determined cowboy!
I liked this read even though Luke and Ruthy's romance is a bit fast. Gotta love Ruthy! She's a firecracker fur sure! A can.do.it.all kind of gal. And Luke! Well, do they make cowboys like him anymore?
A nice, clean read with lots of cowboy grit and determination!
