MY THOUGHTS;

 

One look at the cover and you're in love.   Those mountains, why are they called the Superstition Mountains?   The pace is fairly fast and the plot has many parts to the web that is woven within, suspense and loss.   At the tender age of twelve, Carmela's parents died while traveling west.   Carmela is left in the care of her Uncle Silas.   Silas makes young Carmela tell stories, all lies, about how she had been a captive of Indians.  She is forced to perform in front of people to make Silas money.  But as Carmela gets older, she realizes this isn't what she wants. She's tired of the lies and her uncle.  Then something happens that may just be in Carmela's favor.  While on a stagecoach, which Marshall Freeland McKay is transporting a prisoner, it is robbed. Silas and Carmela are on this stage also.  Silas is taken hostage by the robbers and Carmela ends up, well, let's say, attached to a hunk of a deputy.  The author gives the reader, suspense, great character description, scenery description and what we all love, romance.  Will Carmela be able to make a fresh start without her uncle?  Or will he come back into her life?   What about Carmela and the marshal?  My only dislike about the book was Carmela and the marshal were apart from each other in a good portion of the book.   I wanted more of them being together.   It was a western romance with that danger suspense, Indians, robbers and so much more, that pulled it all together.  You couldn't  help but feel for Carmela and all she had to go through.  You keep hoping that the handsome hunk of a deputy and Carmela will end up together and stay together, not come and go.  Mixed in the book throughout is a little talk about God, some praying, but not a pushy religious book.   So if you like clean, historical romance books, grab a copy and venture into the Superstition Mountains with Camela, her uncle and that handsome hunk deputy.   

 

I received a copy of this book from the author and Barbour Books and voluntarily decided to review it.

 

I would give this book 4 STARS.
