Badlands Bride (Harlequin Historical, 327)

Summary: She came west posing as a mailorder bride,
Review: but Hallie Wainwright wants more than an apron and some man's wedding ring. She's a reporter and is just looking for an opportunity to prove herself. Cooper DeWitt thinks he's found a woman who can make it in the untamed west as well as a woman who can find a place in his heart. Cooper and Hallie find that the path to their Happily-Ever-After is a bumpy trail indeed in Badlands Bride.

As always, Cheryl St. John captivated me on the first page and pulled me along until the very last.

Summary: An excellent book, well written with engaging characters.
Review: Simply wonderful! The heroine, Hallie, is a spunky, honest young woman who (thinks) she knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to go after it. Cooper is sexy, hard-working, and a true gentleman. Their differences seem to be too much to overcome, but love truly conquers all, as Hallie and Cooper find out. Ms. St. John brings the setting alive, and her characters are always so well done that I truly feel as if I know them. The sexual tension is sizzling - I couldn't put this one down!
