About the book:
When he agreed to guard her, he never bargained on having to guard his heart.
Brilliant scientist Linnea Newberry is on the adventure of a lifetime, traveling the Santa Fe Trail with her grandfather, Dr. Powell, on a botanical expedition to Colorado Territory. She longs to be valued for her contributions and not seen as a helpless liability. But at every calamity she faces, her grandfather threatens to send her home.
After watching his ma suffer and die in childbirth, Flynn McQuaid has sworn off women and marriage forever. Headed west to start a new life, he has his hands full not only taking care of his younger siblings but also delivering cattle to his older brother. He doesn’t need more complications.
When Flynn rescues Linnea from drowning during a river crossing, Dr. Powell promptly hires Flynn—unbeknownst to Linnea—to act as her bodyguard for the rest of the trip. As Flynn fights against the many dangers of the trail, he soon finds himself in the greatest danger of all—falling for a woman he’s determined not to love.
My review:
This is an incredible historical romance!
I love the main characters! Linnea and Flynn are extremely well developed. They are surrounded by a number of equally well developed and presented secondary characters in their family members. I enjoyed finding out the history of both of them. It really helped me understand their reactions to the situations that they were in throughout the book.
The plot of this story was wonderful. There was plenty of action and danger as the group traveled to Colorado. It kept things very interesting and exciting.
One of my favorite parts was seeing how both Linnea and Flynn grew and matured along the way. They each seemed to know God from the beginning. But they each had a journey in learning to trust Him.
I’m giving this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it. I haven’t read the first book in the series but I will be going back and doing so as soon as possible.
