Victoria's Reviews > Claiming Her Legacy

This book was simply so, so good. I was immediately gripped and drawn into the story by the desperation of Willa, a young tomboy spinster who carries the burden of paying off her murdered father’s staggering debt or else losing her family’s homestead to an unscrupulous banker. Her plight weighed on me heavily especially when her only option for raising the needed money was to hire unwilling Gideon, a handsome and charming trail guide who was haunted by his past and was living from drink to drink as he battled his demons. Their journey was filled with suspense and it kept me turning pages late into the night. I loved the way the author skillfully helped the reader understand her characters’ thoughts, motivations, and changing feelings throughout the book as they grew close and began to care for one another. This book is definitely a keeper and one I will read again. Highly recommend! I received an advance copy from the publisher via Netgalley and this voluntary review contains my honest opinions.
