Set in Texas in 1886, this is the story of Matthew Frank,
deputy Sheriff, and his childhood sweetheart, Haven Anderson, assistant to the
town doctor. This is my first by this author and I must say, it was easy to read
and enjoyable. Piper has a clear style that moves the story along at a nice
pace.
The story begins with a touching scene when Matt and Haven become
engaged. Though Matthew cannot wait to show his bride his passion, he nobly
holds himself back and tells her nothing of his struggle. Meanwhile, with no
discussion, Haven assumes he does not desire her and she fantasizes about being
the town whore (there is one) and having a passionate encounter with the saloon
owner, a handsome guy. All that was a bit strange, and Hank cared nothing for
Mathew or Haven’s innocence. He would have been happy to seduce her… and tried.
I enjoyed the characters and a few twists and turns kept me
guessing as a villain from the past showed up to wreak havoc and provide some
grizzly action.
