4.5 starsBRIEF SUMMARYCatherine loves running her father's ranch in Creede, Colorado. However, they've been having problems recently that has resulted in stampedes, cattle dying, kidnapping, and revenge. This has ex- bounty hunter Duncan, returning to Creede, to the family that has raised him.  Catherine has loved Duncan since she was a little girl, and even though she has loved him and he has returned, she figures she can manage the ranch just fine without him.THOUGHTSAll the ingredients that includes a spitfire daughter, a loving father, a sexy ex- bounty hunter, great characters, and rowdy neighbors, produces a  good old fashion historical western that was enjoyable to read.  The moment James, Catherine's father blackmailed his daughter and Duncan to marry each other to protect his land, sets the pace of the story. Both characters were lovable and kept my interest throughout the story. Catherine was a spitfire and could hold her own and Duncan was just your typical sexy country and western guy.With the explosion of characters, good and bad that the author gave us, was the added bonus needed for this book. Apart from the main characters of the story, I really enjoyed reading Tom and Beth's characters. I found them to be one of the sweetest couples and I'm glad they found the help they needed from James, Catherine and Duncan. I also enjoyed Cassie's character; she was Catherine's good friend and neighbor. I also thought the epilogue was sweet and did all the characters that I love justice.  If you enjoy westerns with the addition of an historical feel, then this would be the book to read.Storyline: GOODIntimacy: GOODEnjoyment: GOOD
