"Terms of Surrender" by Lorrie Farrelly is a gripping and action packed historical novel set in the 1860ies. It concerns the romance between Michael Cantrell, former army officer, and Annie Devlin, a woman who is trying to defend her ranch against a gang of local bandits who want to force her off the land.In a dramatic fight against those men Michael appears on Annie's farm, saving her but getting himself wounded. The romance between them develops as he recovers, but the threat does not go away.I picked this book because of the historical aspect and am very impressed with the way the author has created a very authentic feel for the times. It is a great western story that shows how insecure the western frontier at the time still was and how law enforcement was unable to cope.Anna is a great character, strong and weak, the perfect heroine for a romance in that setting. Both leads have their own issues but they work together as love conquers all.Great suspense and beautifully written.
