He claimed honor would be his only sword-until an enemy threatened his love and his land.

Montgomery Farrel believes his splintered world is about to heal when Abbie Martin accepts his love and his offer of marriage. But their dreams come crashing down when a vicious fire brings injury and devastation. When the fire proves to be intentional and the sabotage to Monte's property continues to escalate, Abbie's fierce determination takes over and a frightening gun battle ensues.

Confronted with a hate that runs deeper than the Colorado granite, Monte is swept back to the days of Confederate bloodshed, where his need for revenge battles his sense of honor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story about love and honor in the Post-Civil War era!!, December 26, 2001

This review is from: Honor's Price (Rocky Mountain Legacy #2) (Book 2) (Paperback)

I really loved this book about romance, and honor in the state of Colorado in the Post-Civil war era. Abbie and Monte are great characters and the plot took me off guard a couple of times. I like all of Kristen Heitzmann's books so far. They aren't dull, boring and same old kind of plot all the time. She is doing a great job on her books. Abbie is wondering why Monte's property is being sabotaged and when her determination takes over, a gun battle takes place and the results leaves Abbie devastated and shaken. Monte is being pulled back in the days of the Civil War and there is one enemy he must fight to protect Abbie and his ranch before it is too late. It shows us that God is with us in all we do and will forgive us for our sins. All in all this is one great addition to Kristen Heitzmann's ROCKY MOUNTAIN LEGACY series. You won't be disappointed in this book! I certainly wasn't!

5.0 out of 5 stars Abbie and Monte have a rough first year of marriage, October 30, 2004

This review is from: Honor's Price (Rocky Mountain Legacy #2) (Book 2) (Paperback)

Abbie has consented to be Monte's wife, but she has NO idea what it means to become a Southern Lady and give up the independence she knows she handles so well. This causes division between herself and Monte. At the same time, too many bad things are happening, Monte cannot explain them, but he vows to find the culprit. Cole is showing his true personality and loyalty throughout this whole book. I like him more and more all the time. Relatives from the defeated South have come to live with the newlyweds which turns out to be one long, horrid nightmare both financially and emotionally. The orphan children all have to have a home and Abbie volunteers without consulting Monte!

The town is growing, the train is coming and with it the threat of low life living, gambling, drinking and ladies of the night. When a family member becomes entangled in this mess, the whole area is affected and Abbie and Monte both have their lives threatened and attacked.

The author is developing an excellent story line for this new Colorado territory settlement, keeping Christ front and center with love at the root but the scars from the Civil War keep playing their part in the strife. Abbie's love for Monte along with her spontaneous and sometimes deadly decisions and actions cause her to extend herself and she ends up paying dearly. Living in her home is a snobbish, impossible sister in law who makes life in general torment for Abbie.

When a 14 yr. old girl ends up as a pawn in a horrible railroad land deal gone sour, the reader wonders just what makes some people tick. Suspicion, danger, violence and tragedy contine to dog this little family for whom the reader has now established a fondness.

This book has definitely improved and deepened over book one, and I have already started book 3 in this series. Thank you, Kristen.
