Book Excerpt:
Standing quietly in an upper bedroom of the beautiful Garland Mansion, Hattie Morran gazed out the open window over the lush, green grounds known as the Silver Creek Estate.  Her wedding dress and auburn hair fluttered lightly in the soft Missouri breeze as she sighed dishearteningly.  The cold steel of her Colt 45, nestled among the flowers of her wedding bouquet, belied the picture of a beautiful bride awaiting her once in a lifetime moment.
Without breaking her gaze, she began talking to her sister, who sat silently on a sapphire blue settee in the middle of the ornately decorated room.  “So help me God, Dakota,” Hattie said with great conviction, “if Abner does not come across with my demands this time, this will be the shortest marriage on record!”
Knowing Hattie was not one to mess around, Dakota leaned forward with concern.  “What do you plan to do, Sis?”

Turning in Dakota’s direction, Hattie slowly lowered her bouquet, reached in, and cocked the revolver.  “Put it this way . . . if he doesn’t, the man is goin’ to meet up with an untimely death . . . or I am goin’ to shoot off the only thin’ in life that Jackass holds dear.”

My Review:
This is a great historical western Romance. This is the book that I will be comparing other western romances to. I loved that some of the characters were based on the authors relatives. I highly recommend this book. Not only do we get a great glimpse into the past, we also get a great romance. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
