It would be his last bounty to catch but Stuart was just too late to catch them before they killed a young couple. The only one he could save is a toddler named Addie. Now he needs someone to take care of her. Georgina had all the bad luck she didn’t deserve but she got the chance to marry Stuart and become the mother of Addie. But it’s not time for their HEA yet.
Really entertaining story, very lovable main characters and of course a sweet toddler princess. Loved all the books in this series.
This was one of my favorite stories in this series as it has everything you could want in this good historical western plus more than you would expect.
Stuart, our hero, is handsome and went from the civil war to being a bounty hunter and one of the best. He needs this last bounty to pay off his ranch, but he finds a surprise in the cabin where he finds the two worst criminals he has ever hunted. He finds of course a baby or more of a toddler and now what is he going to do with her.
Well he does what he has to because no one in this small backwards town wants another mouth to feed.
He still has a way to go to get home to his ranch in Colorado.
Meantime, there is a mail order bride that shows up in town and finds that her betrothed has gotten married already. Now what is she to do?
Well, there is all this, adventure for Stuart at the beginning, a bride he finds in town, and there is fun, romance, love, lots of baby time, and a whole lot more, oh and they all find adventure near the end. But it all turns out really good.
I love that Caroline packed so much into this story that it got my attention right off and I couldn’t put it down until the end.
I highly recommend this story and all the Bachelor and Babies books as this is one of the best series of multiauthor I have read. Each can be read as a stand alone accept a couple near the beginning.
Loved this book! What a wonderful story. I was so engrossed in the story, that before I knew it, I was at the end. As always, Caroline Clemmons, I so much enjoy your books. Also, love the Bachelor’s and Babies series. Looking forward to reading more stories in this series. Thank you.
This is Stuart and Georgina’s story. Stuart is a bounty hunter and after discovering a couple who had been murdered by the men he was tracking also discovered a small child in the cabin. As he pondered what he was going to do with the little girl, Georgina discovered the man she was to marry had married someone else and she had no place to go and no money. The two met and agreed to marry for the benefit of the little girl. The couple had many obstacles to overcome in their relationship if romance was to ever enter the relationship. This is an excellent story and I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
Another five star for this series
This story starts off exciting and doesn’t let you go until the end. Gun fights, tracking people, friendships, romance and family make up this really nice read.
I don’t know how Caroline Clemmons does it—turning out one great western historical after another!
Stuart melts your heart when he takes on the orphaned baby.
