Summary: HOT AND FULL OF ENVY, DECEIT AND ACTION.
Review: Beautiful Aubrey Blue dons a prim school teacher disguise and heads to Santa Fe in order to exact revenge on Maxwell Fleming, the man who killed her family years ago. Plainsman Christian McBride also has a score to settle with Fleming, and while sharing a stagecoach on the way to their mutual destination, the sparks fly. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The heat between Christian and Aubrey was instense, and the secret that Aubrey reveals at the end will blow you away.

Summary: Her 'good' is better than some authors' 'best'
Review: I would tend to agree that this is not Marsha's best though I can't quite put my finger on why because it is still a very good story. I was almost convinced it was just my mood at the time.

There are a couple surprises along the way and, as usual, Marsha somehow gives us characters with hearts AND racing pulses. Maybe it is that the secondary characters are not quite as engaging as we have come to expect (you're spoiling us, Marsha).

Regardless, if you are a Marsha Canham fan, you will definitely want to read this story. If a newcomer to Ms. Canham's work, read her other books first and read this one later. Then again, maybe this one SHOULD be read first before sampling her other, even BETTER, stories.

Summary: FULL OF LUST, ENVY AND DECEIT. A KEEPER!
Review: Lovely Aubrey Blue disguises herself as a dowdy schoolteacher on her way to Santa Fe to exact revenge on Maxwell Fleming, the man who killed her family. This is not an easy task, since he's the town's richest citizen. On the way, she encounters handsome, embittered Christian McBride and his half-brother Sun Shadow. Christian also has a vendetta against Maxwell, since the man had him inprisoned for five years for a crime he didn't commit. This story was action-packed from the first page. I found myself wondering when Christian and the other supporting characters were going to see through Aubrey's disguise. The heat between Aubrey and Christian was intense, and I felt that I was right there with them. I really like Western romances, and this one had it all, guns blazing, saloons, gambling, you name it. I wish Canham would write a sequel or at least another Western romance.

Summary: a good plot
Review: The book started out great and then slowed down and then picked back up. There were a couple chapters where I wasn't sure if I would continue to the end. I did, though, and it turned out to be a great book. Highly enjoyable.

Summary: A good story
Review: The dialogue and conflict between the hero and heroine keeps the story moving and keeps a pretty good pace. I like how Marsha uses suspense and humor to color her stories, and make her characters unique. I really liked Christian. He was intelligent, and had a heart, too. The surprise near the end of the book was worth waiting for.
