ABOUT THE
BOOK {from Goodreads}:
Upon the
death of her mother, Rosalind Standford’s life shatters, the pieces scattering
to the wind when she is forced into a betrothal to a cunning banker. But when a
telegram arrives announcing the man who captured her heart is on a train to
Boston, Rosalind must hide her true feelings before the thin cord of her
existence unravels the deadly secrets she keeps.
Cowboy Trent Easton returns to his roots in Boston society to find his
childhood friend, the love of his heart. Instead he finds a broken woman
engaged to a man close to her father’s age. Though she once rejected him, when
Trent learns she’s in danger, he determines to do whatever it takes to keep her
safe—even taking her to the altar in the black of night. But will his name and
the remote wilds of his Texas ranch be enough to protect her? Or will freedom
cost them their lives?

MY THOUGHTS:
Christian historical fiction/romance is one of my favorite genres, and this was the first book I have read which was written by Author Tanya Eavenson.One of my favorite things about this well-written story was that the main character, Rosalind Standford, was realistic, likeable, loyal, kind, and compassionate. She was a loving person to her friends and family. She went well beyond normal circumstances to reach out to those in need, and I greatly admire this quality in people.
The villain in the story was a thoroughly and completely distasteful human being. The author did a fine job of constructing a multi-layered heartless, abusive, and cruel character for this role in the story.
The surrounding characters were of varying backgrounds and enriched the story by contributing in their own individual ways. The six-year-old girl, Lilly, who was central to the theme of the part of the story set in Texas, was a delight. Her behavior, moods, and dialogue were age-appropriate.
The story was filled with action from the beginning until the ending. Rosalind was always on edge, and her fear of the villain and worry about he might do next was palpable.
The strong Christian faith elements and Bible verses threaded throughout the story were meaningful and added depth to the action and dialogue.
This book is completely clean in language and content. Domestic abuse is dealt with in a straight-forward manner throughout this book.
Highly-recommended to fans of Christian fiction, Christian historical fiction, Christian romance, clean romance/historical fiction, and Western romance {story is set between 1886 and 1888}.
