About:
Greta Nilsson's trip west to save her ailing little sister, Astrid, could not have gone more wrong. First, bandits hold up her stagecoach, stealing all her money. Then, upon arriving in Fairplay, Colorado, she learns the man she was betrothed to as a mail-order bride has died. Homeless, penniless, and jobless, Greta and her sister are worse off than when they started.
Wyatt McQuaid is struggling to get his new ranch up and running and is in town to purchase cattle when the mayor proposes the most unlikely of bargains. He'll invest in a herd of cattle for Wyatt's ranch if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying and starting a family. And the mayor, who has promised to try to help Greta, has just the candidate in mind for Wyatt to marry.

My Review:
Wyatt and Greta are both engaging characters whose chemistry together shines. I loved the slow, sweet way they fell in love- that was masterfully done, and I absolutely loved them as a couple. Judd the sharpshooting cowpoke was another favorite of mine, and I loved his down-to-earth wisdom.
I did get a little frustrated with some of the characters' choices, and one side character drove me nuts with his insensitivity near the end of the story. I really wanted my beloved main characters to stand up for themselves like I knew they could, but I was happy with how everything turned out.
The vast, majestic beauty of the Colorado landscape is the perfect setting for this book, and I love how the designer translated that into the gorgeous cover. Anticipating seeing the rest of the covers for this series!
There are hints that the next book will be focusing on one of Wyatt's brothers, and I can't wait! I'm so excited to see how the story of the McQuaid family plays out.
I voluntarily received this book from the publisher in order to write an honest review. All opinions are truly my own.
