I'm not sure how I ended up picking this book but I'm glad I did. The story started with several seperate plots that Bobbi skillfully weaved together into an action packed story. She does an excellent job of making the reader feel connected with the characters, which I find lacking in other novels.
Lane is a Texas Ranger with a sad past who is forced to marry for his job (though he swore he would never marry again). Destiny woefully lost her father years before and recently, her mother. While still mourning she finds herself in a terrible situation in which she must marry a man with bad intentions or her evil stepfather. Her only choice is to take the place of a mail order bride with cold feet and flee to Texas to save her life.
I wish I could have given this 4 1/2 stars.

This was a little too "perfect" of a story. Everything worked out too well. Even when bad things were happening, you knew it was going to be okay. There was no suspense. Although the love between the two was very sweet and never doubtful.

I couldn't put it down. This is my first book by this author and I would like to see what else she may have out there.

I love to read historical romance. How people lived back in then and to see just how much changed in our world. This is a great story that keeps you well entertained.

Action, romance and adventure. Ms. Smith's latest book has it all. When I want a great read I can always count Ms. Smith's books to keep me turning pages. If you want to be transported to the "Old West", this is the book for you.
