This review is from: Love Finds You in Deadwood, South Dakota (Paperback)
Jane Albright, is a widow. A widow who was married to a worthless man, who gambled away his business, and their home. Franklin Lloyd is the man who holds the note that turns her homestead over to him. Determined to somehow, someway keep her home, she comes up with a plan. Unfortunately, Jane is not dealing with an honest man, when she makes a deal with Trent Bedlow to haul freight for him to make money to pay off her debt to Franklin Lloyd. She never dreams he will hold her hostage, and take her son to keep her hostage to him. The nightmare that follows is full of horrors that Jane could never begin to dream of. Will she ever escape the madness of Trent Bedlow? Franklin Lloyd knows that something is not right with the entire situation, but has no idea how to help Jane. She seems to be willingly staying with that snake Bedlow and Franklin is baffled. Once he learns that Bedlow had her son, he understood why Jane would not leave with him. A story that is full of excitement, and will have you amazed at the debauchery of an entire town. The ending was a bit anti-climatic, but I enjoyed the book greatly. Truly a must read for LFY fans and for fans of historical romance books. I enjoyed this story greatly and was tickled to find that Tracey Cross is one of the names that Tracey Bateman writes under. 316 pages $12.99 US 5 stars.

Love Finds You in Deadwood South Dakota, historical fiction well worth readin!,

This review is from: Love Finds You in Deadwood, South Dakota (Paperback)
I am a great fan of Tracey Bateman and when I realized she wrote Love Finds You in Deadwood South Dakota under the pen name of Tracey Cross I just knew it would be a great story, and it was that and so much more!
This book takes place in 1879 in Deadwood, South Dakota. Jane Albright was used to fending for herself. She and her young son Danny would stay alone for months at a time in the little soddy house on their homestead along the North Platte. Her husband Tom, ran a freight business that ran to Deadwood that took him away from home three or four months at a time. So when he is late returning from such a run she really doesn't worry, besides she is glad that he is gone, he is a cruel man, and the only way she has endured the marriage is because he is gone so often. When she learns that he is dead and he has left her in debt, with an outstanding mortgage on the business and homestead, she isn't sure what she will do. She is expecting a baby, and has five year old Danny to take care of! Franklin Lloyd holds the notes on Jane's debts and wants the land for the ranch he is planning. When he goes to collect the money from Tom and realizes he is dead, he offers Jane train fare for Danny and herself anywhere she would like to go, but she is determined to keep the homestead because she feels like it is Danny's legacy. Her idea is to run enough freight to pay off the debt on her home, the only person that will give her a job hauling freight, is one of the most dangerous men in the area, she soon becomes indebted to someone far worse than Franklin. Will God answer her prayers and save her and her children before she is forced to do something she doesn't want to do. How can Franklin help her when she is determined to pay her debts, will she finally realize that he just wants her safe, and that he just might be falling in love with her? This was the perfect historical fiction. I became so wrapped up in this story that I didn't want it to end. It was so easy to see how Jane got into her predicament. She was a strong woman, and after a marriage of convenience to her husband Tom, which turned out bad, she didn't want to be beholden to anyone. That alone made the story seem very realistic to me, during that time in history, men were dominate and women were more like property, often depending on men for survival. Franklin was a very kind, godly man in a place where most men were just the opposite, over and over he shows his kindness, and even though he had issues due to his wife's death, his faith in God showed in the things he did. I enjoyed the fact that the author wove some history into this story, giving us a glimpse of the wild west. A great story that I would highly recommend. I would like to thank Christian Review of Books for providing me a copy of this book for review.

4.0 out of 5 stars
intriguing Americana romance,
This review is from: Love Finds You in Deadwood, South Dakota (Paperback)
In 1879 recently widowed and pregnant single mom Jane Albright learns from her late spouse Tom's freight delivery partner Hank of the note signed by her just buried husband to avaricious moneylender Franklin Lloyd. Hank says he and his wife are leaving for Oregon as he has given up on the business. He says he warned Tom not to sign using his homestead as collateral but he did; payment is passed due, which means she and five years old Danny could be homeless.
Desperate to save her home and the freight business, Jane travels to nearby Deadwood, South Dakota to beg for an extension. Franklin grants Jane an extension of six months to pay off her dead husband's note or lose everything. However, as she works diligently earning the respect and admiration of Franklin, Trent Bedlow tells her he loves her. With the help of her friend Molly, Jane sees beneath Trent's veneer of caring and Franklin's wall of indifference to the souls of each. Realizing he is losing Jane and her property, Trent kidnaps her leaving it to Franklin to try to rescue the women he loves. This is an intriguing Americana romance that brings to life the late nineteenth century in Deadwood, South Dakota. The lead trio forges an interesting triangle as Jane learns the hard way never to judge a book by its cover. Although the climax is abrupt and leaves too much dangling especially since history buffs and romance readers will know what is coming, fans will enjoy this entertaining historical. Harriet Klausner
