Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion....

What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael - an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she's never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze.

Regan's far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life - and in his arms - begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family's disapproval and an unseen enemy, he'll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.

Narrator aged characters

I really enjoy historical books by Beverly Jenkins, and I usually enjoy this narrator. However, I have noticed that her voice seems a bit mature for some of the characters. I thought Regan was in her late 20's to early 30's but the narrator made her seem much older. I also was hoping that Mrs. Jenkins would mention Sable and/ or the Fontaine's other sister in the story. I loved Sable and Raymond's story so much it could just be wishful thinking on my part. Overall, I enjoyed the story.

Amazing

I love love love this series. The historical accuracy is awesome! I love the usage and insight to other races particularly the Native American and Chinese plights. These are treated with an amazing respect. applause!

Loved This Series

Every book in this series was fantastic. Half way through this one, I remembered listening to Spring's story last year and since this series is over, I'm going to listen to it again before I start another one. Well done Beverly Jenkins and Kim Staunton.

Great story and narration

This was a great story. I liked the main characters and the plot was really interesting. It wasn't the typical romance and I likes it. I'll read more by this author.

Nice book. But it dragged along at some points.

Liked it,not one of her best books. I almost didn't finish it. Too much details.

Luce…

There was little change to the texture and tone for each character’s voices; should’ve been more than one narrator. Too many cliché or “classic” responses in most of the conversations.
