I received Outlaw Muse as ARC to give a review and I'm so glad I agreed to read this book. From the first page, author Laureen Winwood, pulls the reader into the life of Serena Sullivan. The reader immediately has sympathy with the heroine, who was part of the Orphan Train. Despite the awful life she led after being "adopted," she became a teacher and tried to make something of herself - as much as a woman could in that era. When she is wrongly accused of murder, she is set to hang.Along comes the hero, Daman. Sometimes writers give heroes nothing but wonderful attributes. Daman is flawed, flawed by his rank of birth, flawed by the actions of his father. We are introduced to him on a trail ride - he hates horses. On all accounts, he seems to be quite the un-heroic figure - until he rides to the rescue, takes Laureen under his wing (which is not to say she sits by and lets him take over) and gives the reader a delightful ride throughout the book.I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in historical romance
