Summary: Another great book in this series...
Review: I'm really enjoying this series. Peter is the 5th book in this series & although the first 3 books (Luke, Flint & Cleve) were my favorites so far this book is pretty good as well. I will admit though that Angeleen is my least favorite female I've come across in this series. She just doesn't seem the brightest & she is very naive. I just couldn't understand why it took her so long to realize that she could love Peter & this is the main reason I didn't give the book 5 stars. The first half of this book is kind of slow because Angie is kind of slow in realizing what is right in front of her. Regardless of this I highly recommend this book. It's very exciting at the end when The MacKenzie brothers are brought into the picture.

Summary: A good romance in a good series
Review: In 1880 St. Louis, Angeleen MacKenzie wonders how she was ever convinced to enter a riverboat singing contest. However, when she wins with her rendition of Foster's ballad, "Beautiful Dreamer," Angie abandons her proper lifestyle as an art school student to begin a career as a singer. A few months later the troupe reach New Orleans, but a disillusioned Angie loathes being part of a chorus. Ultimately, her lover abandons her.Peter Gifford is from Angie's hometown in Colorado. He has always loved her and is concerned when he learns she is performing on a Mississippi riverboat. He offers to marry her and she accepts, but warns that she will never be a real wife to him. Peter wants her to be his ranching spouse, but agrees to her marriage of convenience. Though frustrated, Peter is going to court Angie until she realizes that she loves him too. Ana Leigh's popular western romance series, the MacKenzies, continue to be fun to read, pleasing novels that deserve the attention they have received. The round II collection centers around the MacKenzie sisters (round I was cousins) with the newest tale being that of the wild Angeleen. The story line is typical of Ms. Leigh, an award winning author, in that the story is fast and passionate.. Peter and Angeleen are a delightful duo, whose marriage of convenience is surprisingly fun to watch unravel. Fans of western romance are getting a season ending treat, which will leave them impatiently waiting for the next installment. Harriet Klausner
