Set in Montana in the last half of the 19th century, this is the story of Tiffany Warren, a young lady of New York who was betrothed to a son of a rancher when she was quite young to end a feud between two families. She wants no part of it but is willing to go there for two months to see her intended, Hunter, the eldest son of the Callahans, the enemies of the Warrens.
On the way, Tiffany experiences a train robbery and then is accosted by the
Callahans who think she is the Warrens’ new housekeeper and offer her double
wages to work for them. Tiffany accepts in order to secretly assess the man she
is supposed to marry. She finds Hunter Callahan to be a charming, sexy cowboy
who she vows to resist. However, she doesn’t resist Hunter’s charms for long.
They end up in bed in a hayloft. So much for propriety. Apparently ignorant of
how that behavior can lead to being with child, Tiffany rebuffs his proposal.
It’s a fun read but not my favorite by Lindsey. Hunter is a charmer whose intensions aren’t all bad. He’s a good older brother and good in a fight. The feud between the families seems real enough but Tiffany’s disdain for her father (who actually loves her) seemed a tad contrived. No, he wasn’t in her life but then that was by her mother’s choice. There is a mystery that is resolved in the end, rather quickly. The two love scenes were rushed and strong-willed Tiffany melted whenever Hunter approached. Still, it will bring you to the West and some handsome cowboys.
