Wild Violet
WILD VIOLET is a western set in Texas just four years after the Civil War.
Violet Corntassel leaves her home in southwest Missouri to meet her long-time fiancé and childhood sweetheart, Cyrus Morgan, in the ragged cow-town of San Angelo.
Going on nothing but gut-instinct and her own wits she makes it to a town called Mustang Ridge located in central Texas. There she runs into trouble—big trouble—by the name of Jasper Smith. A young cowboy named Billy Colton intercedes when Smith tries to assault her. The two make it out alive, but barely. Soon they are being pursued by the wealthy and powerful Smith clan. Billy insists on accompanying her to San Angelo, although unaware of her true purpose. Violet reluctantly agrees to the make-shift partnership.
Billy and Violet must work together for their mutual survival as they travel across the great expanse of Texas.

This story is very strong in it's story line, the characters very well defined and developed. I truly enjoyed the wild abandon grab at life and determination as this story unfolded. Billy and Violet had the most unbelievable luck that any two people should ever have. It seemed like nothing ever went as planned. All of that makes for a very great read and you won't be sorry you started it. In fact you might be like me and not be able to lay it down again. Highly recommended!

Wild Violet was a fast paced adventure read set in post Civil War Texas. Compelling main character, meaningful themes, exciting page turner. It was fun to read! Enjoy it!

Could have better but it was good enough for a casual read. Not great but satisfying. I would say this is a good read .
