Elizabeth Adams is a Los Angles native who has always dreamed of living in the Rocky Mountains. She loves western movies and riding horses, and dreams of being a heroine in a western film. She gets her chance for real life adventure when her mother disappears from Salt Lick, Colorado, after going there to sell a ranch she inherited.
J.B. Cooper (just Cooper) is under suspicion for killing his neighbor, Henry Harper, over a water dispute. There is no evidence to convict him, but the shadow of doubt hovers around him. He just wants to be left in peace.
Circumstances throw Elizabeth and Cooper together when he tracks rustled cattle to her ranch … and discovers a body in the barn. Once again, he is the suspect in a suspicious death. Elizabeth is convinced Cooper had nothing to do with the murder of her cousin because to her, he’s a true western hero. Together, they search for her mother, clear Cooper’s name and fall in love along the way.

Review:
As always with D'Ann's books I had a hard time putting
this down.
I love the murder mystery in this book it totally had me guessing to the
very end. I'd think I had it all figured out and then something happened and I'd
have to rethink things again. But I was totally satisfied by how everything played out.
I loved the interactions between Elizabeth and
Cooper. I loved that she was stubborn and not willing to put up with his crap. I
totally got Elizabeth’s transition from meeting him to loving him. Cooper’s not
as much but I still found him totally swoon worthy.
Overall I give this a 4 out 5 I really enjoyed it.
Bio:
Falling in love with romance novels the summer
before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one until many
years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She was hooked!
She began writing and never looked back. Romance appeals to her because there's
just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to have a happy
ending. D’Ann’s particular favorites usually feature cowboys and the women who
love them. This is probably because she draws inspiration from the area where
she lives, Western Colorado, her husband of twenty-nine years and their
daughter. Composites of their small farm, herd of horses, five Australian
shepherds, a Queensland heeler, nine ducks and cats of every shape and color
often show up in her stories!
Great review. I tweeted.

ReplyDeleteIt does sound great. Really nice review. I like murder mysteries. Did one of D'Ann's horses do it? No one would ever expect that.
