The Rio Grande – Texas, 1886

On the Lawless Frontier, a Texas Lawman Is Her Only Hope

Elizabeth Madison’s brother paid the ultimate price as editor of a newspaper exposing the dangers along the U.S.-Mexican border. Determined to take up his cause, she’s targeted and kidnapped by a rogue general–Manuel Diego.

It’s the job of Texas Ranger Jake Nelson to protect the border against rustlers and marauders. With Elizabeth’s photograph in hand–a dark-haired beauty with smiling eyes–Jake and his men ride across the great river to rescue her, to apprehend Diego and bring him to justice.

But Diego and his renegades are not about to give up that easily.

Amid the turmoil, Jake finds himself taken by Elizabeth. And she by him. Yet his life as a Ranger doesn’t fit with marriage and settling down. Not at all.

Read from July 24 to 27, 2011 — I own a copy

I could have sworn I started a review to this, so now I am quite confused… alas… let’s try again. Actually now that I think about it I know I did. Hmmm… Oh well.

When I first was introduced to the writing of Yvonne Harris in her first Bethany House Publishers Christian Historical Fiction The Vigilante’s Bride I was nervous about starting into a new author, but was overly pleased to discover that I LOVED her writing almost as much as I adore Mary Connealy. (And if you know anything about my taste in Christian Historical Fiction that is saying a lot!)

I was thoroughly entertained and pleased with this read and do eagerly look for more from Yvonne in the future. The only problem with her books is that I wish they were longer, yet at the same time they are just right.

Highly recommended!
