I'm sorry, Ms. Finch, but no. Although this book was published in 2005, it read like a 1980s old school romance.

The heroine (Julia) comes across as an over-the-top she-devil / virgin-nymphomaniac, and the hero (Vince Lone Wolf) was nothing to write home about either. Additionally, the love scenes were somewhat ridiculous.

I honestly tried to read this book as fast as I could, just to get it over and done with. Kinda like how one pulls a band aid off super quick, in order to reduce the pain...

A bounty hunter/gunslinger is just what Julia Preston needs. With a wounded brother (Adam Preston) in danger of being killed, Julia promises Vince Lone Wolf anything to help her and her brother. Although his saddlebags were full of warrants for thieves in Colorado, Vince decides to accompany Julia to her ranch and check on the situation.

Julia is fearless and totally lacking in prejudice; when Vince (half Indian) suggests a pretend marriage so he can protect her and Adam, Julia agrees. What Julia does not know is that the most likely person to have shot Adam and been stealing cattle is Sol Griffon, Vince’s estranged uncle. Vince relishes the idea of irritating his uncle with the news of his marriage to Julia. Julia’s home town is shocked by the marriage; ‘half-breeds’ are still not accepted by the general population.

Adam is in love with Sol Griffon’s daughter, Maggie. The Griffon and Preston families have been at odds for three years and Sol refuses to allow Maggie to marry a Preston. There is considerable action; there’s also the mystery of who wants the Preston ranch.

Julia’s actions seem a bit over the top but she has a good heart; she’s a hard worker and concerned about the people around her. Vince is all a bounty hunter should be; however, he is totally outwitted by Julia. He understands quickly that facing an army of thieves would be simpler than tangling with Julia.

This is a pleasant, comfortable yarn with several really likable characters, especially Julia and Vince. I think most readers will find this story a winner!

Out of desperation Julie hires Lone Wolf a fierce bounty hunter but he accepts with a hidden agenda.

Julia Preston treated Vince Lone Wolf like a valued person & he was sure it was a mistake or stress or.... Until Vince accepts his fear of rejection the future could be nothing but bleak.

Lots of intrigue about the feud & who keeps fueling it.

I just finished reading this delightful, fast-paced Native American romance. Carol Finch does a marvelous job interweaving the plot to keep the reader's interested while also injecting humor and realistic/likeable characters. I'm now looking forward to reading other books by Carol!
