But he didn't expect to meet stubborn mail-order bride Hope Kallahan, who gets kidnapped by the gang and held for ransom, or that she would be a veritable magnet for danger. As she intimidates hardened criminals into cleaning house and talks Dan into rescuing her, Dan believes God had a reason for throwing her in his path.

I truly enjoyed all three of the books in this series. I think this one was my favorite. They are easy reading and entertaining. All three kept my attention and were a nice way to relax in the evening. The girls are believeable characters and the story plots are enjoyable.

This book follows the story of Hope Kalahan, the last of the mail-order-bride Kalahan sisters to meet her husband. It is truly a fun and suspensful adventure (if a little on the predictable side).

The story starts with Hope, daughter of a deceased minister, listening to a senators daughter spouting memorized scripture on a stagecoach. (It is here where you learn of Hope deficiencies in remembering her fathers bible lessons!). Miss Ferry and her companion leave the stage early due to illness and Hope continues to meet her betrothed.

Enter Dan, aka Grunt, government agent and infiltrator of the Davidson gang, wanted for robbing stages carrying army payroll. (Might I add that he is, as every romantic hero should be, handsome as can be?). Well, if the gang leader didn't have plans to kidnap Miss Ferry for the senators ransom money!!

Mistaken for the senators daughter Hope is kidnapped and delayed from her betrothed for 2 months!! What happens during those 2 months? You should read and find out. It is a perfect romantic/comedy/adventure book!!! Full of all kinds of unbelievable events that are sure to leave the betrothed mans mind in a spin.

It is fun watching Hope evolve from a self centered girl into a compassionate woman. It is wonderful watching Dan observe these changes all the while respecting her promise to her future husband.
