5.0 out of 5 stars The Drifter, April 22, 2005

Beau Claxton has been wandering around since his wife's death a year earlier. When he is saved from death by the lovely widow, Charity, he finds that his arrival was just in time for her. Needing a man to stay at least for a while so that she can keep her land, Charity begins the long process of convincing Beau to marry her.

The Drifter is yet another wonderfully written novel by Lori Copeland and a great addition to the 'Man of the Saddle' series. I love how she combined this book into a western romantic comedy that is sure to brighten your day.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I could not put it down--it was one of those where you don't want to stop reading it till you're done, and yet you don't want it to end because you're enjoying it so very much! Beau and Charity's circumstance was quite unusual, and I loved watching their feelings for each other grow. If you're like me and love historical Christian fiction...you HAVE to own this book! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars inspirational western reflects faith, hope and charity, May 15, 2005

By

This review is from: The Drifter (Men of the Saddle #2) (Paperback)

and love.......Beau Claxton and Charity Burk live in different states but share a life tragedy........both lose their beloved mates and their lives are altered. Beau drifts around for a yr without a purpose ending up near death in Charity's creek. Charity has just about given up trying to carry on her life in kansas but in her despair, she still finds the compassion to help this stranger. She thinks he may be the ans to her prayers

and the reader certainly thinks the lord led him to charity. The story evolves with few surprises....The depth of emotion is wonderful in the characters. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that within minutes of rescuing Beau, Charity decides she will get him to marry her to help her physically save the land grant on her property. It's a bit brazen and a bit precipitous since all she needs is a man to help her with the ranch,any hired hand not really a husband. That small piece annoyed me.Overall it was a good read......and did my heart good. It's never a bad thing to remember how faith touches our lives every day in many ways..Would like more about brothers cole and cass. perhaps there is a prequel or sequel for them.
