Coming home was never easy but with a name like Shardlow, know for his murdering father and his thieving half-brother, Luke never expected anyone to be happy to see him again. Finding Charity Barnham, the daughter of a powerful rancher up a tree made him remember what he had been through as a young boy. A moment with Charity could not change his plans, he had to track and take down his older half-brother no matter who he had to fool to do it. She had heard the stories but she was not prepared to...more
This book is an example of how Linda Lael Miller's writing has deteriorated over the past few years. The story started out somewhat promisingly but less than a quarter way through it just started going downhill. I had to force myself to finish the book, skimming the last third just to get through it.
Steamy western. The story of Luke Shardlow and Charity Barnham. When these two were children, Luke saved Charity when she fell in the creek, and she granted him one wish. Luke returns as an adult. Luke is a bounty hunter chasing his half-brother, Vance. Shoot-em-ups and Beat-em-ups ensue.
I like this book a lot. Though I didn't think that it was quite as good as her Stone Cleek series. The characters were funny and whe writes them very real. I love Miller for that. The story wasn't contrite or predictable. It set a nice pace and kept you interested. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Your typical historical romance, no surprises here. I do think that the way the author had the characters get together at the end was kind of ridiculous. It seemed like she ran out of pages and had to quickly tie up everything.
Love in the western frontier. Romance, drama, gunfights, blackmail, secrets; an interesting book from cover to cover. If you like westerns, you will love this novel. I didn't want it to end, but was happy with the ending!
This is an older book, that I picked up. Even though it was predictable, it was an enjoyable read. The author always writes engaging characters, and the plot moves along.

Western
This book is about a man, with a bad family name, who returns to his hometown as a Bounty Hunter searching for his half-brother. While home he reunites with a girl, who he saved when they were little kids. She promised him once, when he saved her life, that she would offer him one wish and he was ready to collect. I liked this first book I read by Miller but the story didn't pull any emotions out of me. I found myself skimming towards some parts of the book but overall I think the story line was...more

A great and poignant love story. About a man with a troubled past and a woman who is trying to find herself. As is always with Linda Miller, great historical romance.
One of my favorites of hers after the spring water series. Romance for sure, but the plot isn't as predictable as usual and it's overall very sweet.
This is just a fun, sexy book. If you like this kind of escape, this one is great. Any of Miller's novels are good.
