A quiet Texas ranch may be just the place to disappear…
Grace Harper is in hiding. When her father died six months before, she never imagined her unexpected inheritance would threaten her life. What better place to disappear than on a cattle ranch, doing the work she spent the last nine years helping her father with? And surely she’ll be safe hidden in Texas, thousands of miles from her trouble.
Monty Dominguez has spent much of his life working on the Double Rocking B Ranch in Seguin, Texas. He’s worked his way from a 12-year-old orphan stable boy, to ranch foreman and trusted friend of the family. There’s not much he wouldn’t do to protect the people and land he loves, even if it means giving up his own dreams.
When the danger trailing Grace catches up to her, there’s only one way to save the people—especially the man—she’s come to love. Can she find the courage for the ultimate sacrifice to protect those she’s put at risk? Just as Monty’s dreams might finally be within reach, will one misstep cost him everything?
My Review:
published in 2020
A fast read and not just because of the shorter length (196 p.) This Western Romance is full of heart and action and all kinds of ranching details that make it the kind of ‘devour in one sitting’ read I love. It harkens back to a simpler time — the kind glorified in old Westerns where good is good and bad is evil and trusting in others can either be your salvation or your undoing. Loved that old-timey vibe carried throughout the story.
Action, adventure and romance all wrapped up in a ‘Bonanza’ type setting impressed, so my first Misty M. Beiler novel won’t be my last!
Of Note: This is the third and final book in the Texas Rancher Trilogy and, while there is an overlap in characters from the first two books, it can definitely be read as a standalone. I dove in here and I didn’t have any problem though there was a reunion of sorts with lots of new-to-me characters who play a secondary role. Just made me want to read the first two book to get everybody’s love stories! 🙂
I listened to the audio book, narrated by Peggy Sowersby and she did a great job with the Texan drawl and rancher lingo. 🙂
