His Unexpected Companion: Women of Destiny
Olivia Darling is her own woman—self-sufficient, intelligent, and wise to the ways of the world. She’s also beautiful enough to rile other women and garner unwanted attention from men, which could bring more danger down on her than living the outlaw life she’s taken to. Headed home to Colorado, she’s ready to put her past behind her—but what kind of reception will she get?
Kit Traver is headed home to Colorado, giving up his law practice back East to return to the place he loves—and the woman he intends to marry. His life neatly planned, this journey will give him the time he needs to be alone with nature before he takes on the responsibilities of practicing law again and being a married man.
When Kit and Olivia meet in Denver, it’s not the best first impression—for either of them. But, they are traveling the same trail, so it’s only natural they ride along together. It’s obvious to Kit that Olivia needs his protection—if only from herself!
But traveling together ignites a fire between them that can’t be ignored, especially once they arrive, only to discover that everything has changed while they’ve been away. With her father mysteriously murdered, Olivia has her hands full trying to keep the big ranchers from pushing her off her family’s small spread. Can Olivia and Kit make a home together? Will Kit walk away from his socialite family for the love of HIS UNEXPECTED COMPANION?

Kit and Olivia are forced to travel to Leadville together in this well-drawn western romance. Both have secrets they're hiding from each other, but it's the yearning for something more that each instills in the other that propels them to question their life's trajectory. Settle back and enjoy this compelling love story set against the backdrop of historic Leadville. Couldn't put it down!

When Kit Traver sits down to a much-awaited dinner in a Denver hotel restaurant, his meal is interrupted by a young woman making something of a ruckus about dining alone. Little does he know that the woman, Olivia Darling, will soon be traveling the same trail as he, back to their respective homes in Leadville, CO. So begins a highly engaging story I found difficult to put down.
Sherry-Crews’ characters jump off the page, and the reader veers from wanting to give the two protagonists hugs to being ready to thump some of the less amenable minor individuals. With a number of unexpected twists, the story moves along at a rapid pace with convincing dialog and historical—almost instructional!—accuracy. The beautifully written love scenes are positively toe-curling.
This is an all-round winner I highly recommend.

Cute and sweet, His Unexpected Companion gives a reader a charming little adventure and happily ever after story.
Olivia was a surprising delight with her confidence and attitude. She knew who she was and what she wanted and owned it. I enjoyed watching her and Kit figure each other out, teasing and playing and challenging the other. Kit wasn't a slouch, but he was definitely hooked deep and quickly by Olivia. He had this sense of being lost, like trying to find his footing, and Olivia was the perfect distraction to keep throwing him off, but yet also became the guiding star he needed.
If you're looking for a easy light read with just enough drama to keep things interesting, a strong heroine, and a passel of fun, try this one out! It's sure to bring smiles and a happy sigh at the end.

This was an interesting and unique western historical romance with characters that leap off the pages at you, and a great setting. Lots of twists and turns, adventure, and challenges for both Olivia and Kit. Great read!

Unconventional Woman
Kit does everything his family expected of him until he met an unconventional woman. I enjoyed the characters in this story, including the secondary characters, and the suspense surrounding Olivia's situation. Good plot. A good read.

Good storyline
This one will keep you desiring to devour the whole book in one sitting. Olivia is spitfire of a young lady dressing as a man and tough as they come. She will win your heart as you become disgusted with those who judge her.
