Synopsis (from amazon.com):
Holt McKettrick leaves his mail-order bride at the altar when a rider appears at the Triple M Ranch in the Arizona Territory with the news that John Cavanagh, the buffalo soldier who raised him, is being forced off his land and that his friend Gabe is about to be hanged. Riding hard, Holt reaches San Antonio just as Lorelei Fellows torches her wedding dress. The daughter of the judge who sentenced Gabe to hang, Lorelei refuses to marry a sleazy lawyer and takes refuge on the tiny dilapidated ranch left to her by her mother. Holt has to head to Mexico to bring back the evidence to free Gabe and the cattle needed to keep John Cavanagh's ranch from being taken over by a greedy schemer. And what a posse Holt assembles: Cavanagh's sweet, mentally challenged daughter; Gabe's very pregnant lover; and Lorelei.
Review:
This book started quickly and slowly at the same time, which is confusing I know. What I mean is that the action hits the ground running as Holt leaves his mail order bride at the altar to head back to San Antonio to help save his friend and help his foster father. And the action never really stops.
However, the romance in this book crawls from the very beginning. Even at Holt and Lorelei's first meeting I didn't feel the connection that is present in a lot of Miller's books. What I did appreciate about this romance was how very realistically Holt and Lorelei's feelings developed for each other over time.
