About
this book:
“He won a ranch in a card game. She claims the ranch is her inheritance. He's not leaving--and neither is she.
Brooks Morgan is quick on the draw, but his weapon of choice is his smile. He’s smart and witty and has charmed his way through much of life, but now that he’s growing older—and a bit wiser. He wants to stop drifting and settle down. He sees his chance when he wins Raven Creek Ranch in a poker game, but when he goes to claim his prize, a pretty woman with a shotgun says the ranch belongs to her. Brooks isn’t leaving his one and only chance to make something of his life—but neither is she. Can they reach an agreement? Or will a greedy neighbor force a showdown, causing them both to lose they want most in life?”
Series: Book #6 in the “Texas Trails” series. {Can be stand-alone novels. I have not read any of the others on this series. More about this series: “a six-book series about four generations of the Morgan family living, fighting, and thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845 to 1896.”}

My
personal Rating-
(and a half)
While I was eagerly waiting the scene
where the heroine points a gun at the hero (don’t ask me why but I just really
like those kinds of scenes, I’ll explain more in a week or so. ;) ), I had to
lower ratings because of the hangings & Sexual parts.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
