This one was a lot of fun. (Look at that awesome cover! heh heh meeeow)

Running from an arranged marriage into the arms of man who mail ordered a wife- (no worries, she really wasn’t going to honor said agreement)- Sharisse Hammond can’t believe the predicament she’s gotten herself into… and how much the rugged land and the man who is taming it, stirs her blood. So she sticks around for awhile despite plans otherwise.

Lucas has plans of his own and it all centers on destroying the man who killed his father for the Holt gold mine. But something about the striking red head makes him want to make her his. When she resists for reasons she hasn’t shared, his gun slinging twin brother Slade gives her the final push.

But things aren’t what they seem on the Holt ranch and one too many lies from the Holt brothers sends her running back home.

Putting his complicated feelings for his woman aside, Lucas has to finish what he begun – then he will be free to claim her properly. If she is willing to have him in return by then….

There are several similarities to my absolute fav by JL A Heart So Wild- white man gun slinging hero who grew up with Native Americans and became blood brother to tribe, revenge plot against baddie who killed Hero’s family, rich heiress who falls in love with the bad boy gun slinger, hero keeping secrets from heroine and vice versa- it’s all so ridiculous- but I flat out love JL’s western romances.
