Montana Territory, 1884…Is Her Kidnapper the Only Man Who Can Keep Her Safe?Robbing a stagecoach on Christmas Eve and abducting a woman passenger is the last thing Luke Sullivan expected to do. He just wanted to reclaim the money stolen from his pa, but instead ended up rescuing a feisty copper-haired woman who was on her way to marry Sullivan’s dangerous enemy. Emily McCarthy doesn’t take kindly to her so-called rescue. Still, she’s hoping Providence will turn her situation for good, especially when it seems Luke Sullivan may just be the man of her dreams. But Luke has crossed a vicious man, a powerful rancher not used to losing, and Emily is the prize he’s unwilling to sacrifice.
I love this book, as in love love love this book. The Vigilante’s Bride is my first experience with author Yvonne Harris and you better believe it will not be my last. The romance in verbiage and actions is palpable and beautiful. If you know any of my taste in books, you know that I love Mary Connealy and Tracie Peterson and even though Yvonne’s book is slightly shorter, she’s right up there in my favoritism. I can hardly put the book down, and then when I think I’ve only been reading for a short time, I’m shocked that another hundred pages have gone by.
Bethany House has a winner with this author and I cannot wait for more. The bad guys are real and evil, but there is always the underlying possibility of redemption. I’m tense with anxiety and delight. Chill bumps greet me with the since of new found love and the hope for a future and better opportunities for all is heart warming. It makes my heart smile.
