Penniless and out of options, Roxanna is forced to remain at the fort. As she spends more and more time with the fiery Colonel McLinn, the fort is abuzz with intrigue and innuendo. Can Roxanna truly know who the colonel is--and what he's done?

I totally agree with you. Kudos to you for taking the time to savor it...honestly, when I read Laura's books it's like my eyeballs just slow down!!!! :-)
Kim, Such a JOY to wake up to your review and Kav's great comments this morning! Bless you both for that:) I know you both are so very busy. Summer provides so many distractions and it's hard to find reading time. Rainy winters are much better for books! So I appreciate the 2 of you making time for my work. I couldn't do it without you, you know, and I' so thankful for you from the bottom of my historical heart!
